  • Register students into classes, or let them register themselves online
  • Process payments — cash, check, external transactions, and credit cards via Stripe
  • Release certificates to students who complete and pass their courses
  • Send automatic class reminders by email and text, with a self-service defer link
  • Manage locations and classrooms where classes are held
  • Track instructors and students across multiple courses and sessions
  • Run promotions with coupons and gift certificates
  • Export your data as spreadsheets for reporting
