How to run a tablet programme for a coaching institute

By the SkieOS team · Updated 11 November 2026 · 6 min read

In short

Institutes get the most from tablets when branches and batches are modelled as groups, the course app is always installed, everything else is closed, and each branch head has their own dashboard.

Model your structure

Treat the institute as the organisation, each branch as a school level and each batch as a group. This lets leadership set rules once and branches refine them.

Keep content apps available

Your course and test apps must be installed and kept up to date on every tablet. An allow list keeps them open while closing entertainment and social apps.

Control browsing

Some batches need a browser for research; others do not. Set it per group and enforce filtering. See safe browsing for students.

Delegate sensibly

Branch heads and teachers should manage their own batches, so central teams are not a bottleneck. See role-based access.

Prepare for loss and replacement

Agree a standard process for lost and damaged tablets, so a replacement takes over the student's seat and group. See Lost or stolen managed tablet.

Frequently asked questions

Can each batch have different apps?

Yes. Each batch can be a group with its own allow list.

How do we onboard 500 tablets?

Enrol them in batches with a checklist, each pairing in a few minutes. Our team can help plan the rollout.

Do you provide the tablets?

SkieOS is software. We can guide you to suitable suppliers.
