The continuing education platform

Every class, from catalog to certificate.

Registration, payments, class operations, attendance, certificates, and reporting—in one platform built for community-college continuing education.

Sample Encore screens: a staff class workspace for Welding Fundamentals, the learner’s catalog card for the same class, and its verifiable certificate.

Why it matters

Registration is the easy part. What happens next is the product.

  1. Before

    Decide what runs.

    Readiness, costs, and a GO number for every class.

  2. During

    Keep every change with the class.

    Schedules, rosters, notices, and money stay connected.

  3. After

    Close with proof.

    Attendance becomes completion, certificates, and reports.

The platform

One platform. Every stage of the class.

Six connected workspaces share one record—so nothing gets retyped, and nothing gets lost between them.

A storefront learners actually enjoy.

Explore catalog
  • Your college’s name, logo, and content
  • Interest-based picks that show the reason
  • Search plus filters for format, dates, and price
  • Live seats, schedule, and price

Built only for continuing education

The details CE runs on. Built in, not bolted on.

Short-run classes, adult learners, adjunct instructors, and credit hours that have to add up. Encore was designed around them.

  • A GO number for every class

    The enrollment that covers costs and margin—with early warnings. A person makes the call.

  • Seats held while learners pay

    Held for fifteen minutes while the learner checks out.

  • Conflicts caught before saving

    Rooms, instructors, and college closure dates.

  • Policies captured at enrollment

    Refunds follow the rule the learner registered under.

  • Every kind of credit

    CEUs, contact hours, CPE, PDUs, and more—with licensing rules.

  • Certificates anyone can verify

    A QR check that confirms the credential, not the record.

  • Late and walk-in registration

    A reason, a make-up plan, and attendance math that stays fair.

  • An audit trail for key decisions

    Who changed what, and when.

Everyone around the class

One record. Four ways in.

  • Learners

    A front door that feels modern.

    Find a class, pay, and return for schedules, payments, transcripts, and certificates.

  • Instructors

    Their classes. Nothing else.

    Rosters, attendance, teaching time, and grades—scoped to their assignments.

  • CE teams

    Every class, one workspace.

    Plan, publish, register, deliver, and close—with the history attached.

  • Leaders & finance

    The numbers behind each class.

    GO decisions, margins, refunds, reconciliation, and reports.

Foundations

Built for the college around the CE office.

The controls IT, finance, and compliance teams ask about first—designed in from the start.

  • Walled off by institution

    Each college’s records are isolated in the application, every query, and the database itself.

  • Access by role

    Built-in and custom roles. Instructors see only the classes they teach.

  • Student data stays put

    Education records stay out of search indexes, analytics, logs, and email subject lines.

  • Money leaves a trail

    Payments go to your Stripe account. Refunds and reconciliation stay auditable.

  • Accessible by design

    Built and tested toward WCAG 2.1 AA, with keyboard, focus, and reduced-motion support.

  • Durable by default

    Payments, notices, completions, and certificates run as retryable background work.
