February 2026
Let your attendance device do the marking. February brings automatic staff and student attendance through ESSL devices, alongside easier client filtering and clearer records.
Connect ESSL attendance devices to automatically record student and staff attendance in spynPRO.
AcademyPRO
1. Automatically mark staff and student attendance with ESSL
Integrate ESSL biometric and other supported ESSL attendance devices with spynPRO to automatically mark attendance for students and staff. That means less manual attendance entry for your team. The attendance register can take a well-earned break.
ESSL is the attendance-device brand currently supported.

Custom performance graphs now show the configured measurement unit, making results easier to understand when reviewing a student’s progress.
4. Smoother renewals and attendance
