University English prep program software for levels and attendance

University English prep program software is a tool that organizes the level courses, classes, instructors and absences of a preparatory year. Jamaster LMS defines each level once, treats every class as a group opened at that level, and moves a student who progresses into a group one level up. Because attendance is recorded by QR code, students whose attendance rate is slipping show up long before the term ends.

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 a prep school office

  • Absence limits noticed too late

    Prep years usually come with a minimum attendance rule, yet paper sign-in sheets are often counted weeks later, when a student has already gone over. Jamaster records attendance for every lesson by QR code and updates each student's and class's rate the same day.

  • Class lists that fall apart between levels

    At the end of each level some students move up and others stay, and rewriting class lists by hand mixes up instructors and rooms. Open the next level's groups with instructor and room, move students by changing their group, and their earlier groups remain in their enrollment history.

  • Uneven instructor timetables

    With many contact hours a week, balancing instructor workloads in a spreadsheet is hard. You can see each instructor's classes and weekly teaching load on one screen and assign the next level's classes accordingly.

Features a prep program uses day to day

  • Levels and class capacity

    Set up levels such as A1, A2, B1 and B2; each class shows capacity like 18/20, so finding a free seat for a late arrival takes seconds.

  • QR attendance for prep classes

    Attendance is recorded by QR code as the lesson begins, with no sign-in sheet to pass around or type up later.

  • Attendance rates and reports

    Follow attendance rates per student and per class, and use the attendance report to see who has missed how many lessons this term.

  • Follow-up after repeated absences

    When a student misses 3 lessons in a row, an automation rule opens a meeting plan and an advisor gets in touch mid-term.

  • SMS and email to students

    Tell a whole class about a room or timetable change with a bulk SMS or a templated email.

Frequently asked questions

What does university English prep program software do?

University English prep program software keeps levels, classes, instructor assignments and absences in order for a preparatory year. Jamaster LMS brings this together in a single panel that runs in the browser.

How do you track absences in a prep program?

Each lesson's attendance is recorded by QR code and reported per student and per class. Students with a falling rate are visible early, and 3 absences in a row can automatically open a follow-up meeting plan.

Can Jamaster replace the student information system?

No. Jamaster manages levels, classes, attendance and any paid enrollments, while students' academic records stay in the university's own student information system.

How much does prep program software cost?

Universities and their units are priced on the Enterprise University plan by quote, based on scale and the number of active students. Text messages are bought as separate SMS packages, and you can trial everything first with a 10-day demo at no cost.
