Continuing education center software for program enrollment and payments
Continuing education center software is a system that handles enrollment, groups, attendance and payments for the courses and certificate programs run by a university's continuing education unit. Jamaster LMS sets up each program with its own term, level and fee, and keeps self-enrolled participants apart from employees sent by organizations. Education reports show how many enrollments each program received and which groups are running.
The single-branch Mini plan is $49 a month, and the Pro plan for multi-branch institutions is $89 per branch per month (billed yearly), and you can try it with a 10-day free demo account.
What slows down continuing education coordinators
Many programs running in the same term
When capacity, schedules and instructors for programs run with different departments sit in separate files, problems surface late. In Jamaster each program is set up with its groups, instructor and room, and every session appears on one calendar.
Corporate and individual participants
Employees sponsored by an organization and people who sign up on their own usually have different contract and payment terms. Each participant is marked as corporate or individual, and the right contract and payment plan is attached to their enrollment.
Participants with unpaid balances
Finding everyone whose payment is incomplete after a program starts eats into a coordinator's week. Remaining balances and overdue installments are listed in reports, and card payments can be taken online through iyzico.
