The instructor dashboard, My Viking, gives instructors access to their upcoming lessons, availability and worked hours.
For most instructors, the two main tasks are:
- checking upcoming lessons;
- keeping availability up to date.
Open My Viking
After logging in with an Instructor account, the main menu shows:
- My planning
- My availability
- Reports
If the user also has an Admin role, the instructor part of the account is still available as My Viking.
Check upcoming lessons
Open My planning to see the lessons currently scheduled for you.
The overview shows information such as:
- course date;
- time;
- location;
- product;
- number of participants.
Click a lesson to open the lesson details.
View lesson participants
The lesson page shows the participants scheduled with you.
Depending on the school's settings, you can see customer details such as contact or personal information.
The school controls which customer information instructors can see under:
Settings → Planning
Update a student's level
If the school uses milestones, the participant's current level is shown next to their name.
For example:
L6
Click the level to update the student's current milestone level.
This lets instructors record student progress directly from the lesson view.
For more information about milestone levels, see Understand experience levels.
Add lesson and customer notes
The message icon next to a participant shows their existing messages and notes.
Open it to:
- review previous notes;
- add a new message;
- choose whether the message should also be visible to the customer.
This is useful for recording information such as student progress, lesson notes or information for the next instructor.
Manage your availability
Open My availability to tell Viking when you can teach.
You can select available start times and use recurring availability for repeating schedules.
The school may also choose to let planners manage availability for instructors instead.
For the complete workflow, see Set instructor availability.
Connect your planning to your calendar
At the bottom of My planning, Viking provides a Calendar link.
You can use it to synchronize your scheduled lessons with an external calendar.
Options include:
- Add to Google Calendar
- Add to Outlook or iCloud calendar
- using the Calendar address in another compatible calendar application.
Use the Viking instructor dashboard for the most current planning information, especially when lessons change at short notice.
For setup instructions, see Connect Viking to an external calendar.
View worked and payable hours
Open Reports to view lessons you have taught.
Select a date range to see information such as:
- course date;
- location;
- course type;
- participants;
- payable hours.
The report is read-only for instructors.
If lesson details or payable hours need to be corrected, contact the planner. The planner must make the change in Viking.
Keep My Viking up to date
For the instructor workflow to work correctly:
- check My planning for upcoming lessons;
- keep My availability accurate if you manage it yourself;
- add relevant notes after lessons;
- update student levels when your school uses milestones;
- review Reports when you need to check worked or payable hours.
The instructor dashboard is designed to give instructors the information they need for their own lessons without giving them access to the full Viking administration.
