For private career colleges and vocational schools
An LMS for private career colleges
Run programs from application to graduation: admissions, intakes, classroom and practical hours, assessments, student files and certificates, all in one place.
What a career college has to get right
Admissions, fees and funding are tracked in one place and teaching in another, so the student file is never complete.
Programs mix classroom hours and practical hours, and both have to be counted.
Student records have to be kept, and found again, long after a student graduates.
