The planning situation

A practical subject runs on alternating weeks while theory lessons run every week.

The constraint to resolve

The practical cycle is anchored to the wrong first active week.

Set up this specific workflow

Create separate recurrence patterns, choose the correct first occurrence and use an interval of two weeks for practical sessions.

Work in the schools workspace. Use your organisation’s actual dates, timezone and opening hours. Presets are editable starting points; they do not supply a country’s calendar or verify organisational policies.

Check the result before publishing

Review actual practical dates around holidays; skipping a closed date should not silently redefine the cycle.

Resolve unplaced activities and reported conflicts, inspect the relevant people and resource views, and publish the reviewed version deliberately.
