Management software for vocational and skills schools

Cohorts and modules, not only grades

Students enroll in intake cohorts - January welding, September healthcare - with modules that run on different clocks than semester homerooms.

K-12 SMS products assume one class list per year; vocational programs need parallel module completion tracking.

Cohort tags drive fee plans, attendance expectations, and certificate eligibility.

Competency-based assessment

Instructors mark competencies achieved - not always numeric averages. Rubrics and practical assessments feed progress reports employers understand.

Incomplete modules carry forward to the next intake without losing partial credit history.

Publish gates release progress summaries to students and sponsoring employers when contracts require.

Industry placement and workplace logs

Placement coordinators track host employers, hours completed, and supervisor sign-offs.

Workplace safety incidents and gear checklists attach to student profiles for audit.

Export packs support accreditation visits without reconstructing paper binders.

Fee plans per program

Tuition, materials, and certification exam fees bill per program or module milestone.

Employer-sponsored students need payer tags and invoice formats distinct from self-pay cohorts.

Installments may align to module start rather than arbitrary calendar quarters.

Certificate issuance

Completion triggers certificate generation with serial numbers and skill areas listed.

Revocation or reissue logs matter when accreditation asks for traceability.

Digital PDF delivery through student portals reduces mail costs.

Employer and regulator reporting

Exports summarize completion rates, competency achievement, and placement outcomes by program.

Anonymized aggregates feed board reports; individual records stay role-scoped.

Rollout by program intake

Pilot one cohort intake on admissions, fees, and competency tracking before migrating legacy programs.

Import active students with module progress flags so instructors continue without blank slates.

Add placement modules when employer contracts renew.
