What you get
Everything the office needs, in one account
A vocational institute teaches trades in classrooms and workshops, and its records need to show both the theory and the practice. SkoolBro keeps each trade, its batches and its trainees together, with attendance, assessments, workshop stock, fees and certificates tied to the same record. Trainees have their own logins, and an AI assistant answers questions about your records in plain words.
Trainee records
One record for each trainee, with documents, photos and a guardian or sponsor when there is one. ID numbers and health notes are stored encrypted.
Attendance
Instructors mark attendance on a phone, even in a workshop with a weak connection.
Assessments
Marks for theory and practical assessments, published results and grading scales you define.
Workshop stock
Stock counts for tools and materials, by location, so shortages show up before a class.
Fees
Monthly, termly, yearly or one-time fees, concessions with approval, receipts and a ledger.
Certificates
Certificates for completed trades, with a public check page.
Staff
Instructor records, leave, payroll with approval and payslips.
The AI workforce
Routine work done for you, with a person in charge
The AI assistant answers questions such as which trainees have low attendance, or how many applications are waiting for a decision. AI agents send an administrator's morning summary, follow up admissions, spot absence patterns and sum up assessment results. Personal details are hidden before anything is sent to an AI provider.
Who it fits
Built for institutions like yours
Technical and vocational institutes, trade schools and skills centres, from one campus to a network.
How it handles the details
Each trainee sits in one batch per academic year. Fees are recorded in SkoolBro and paid by bank transfer or cash today, and notices go out by email and in the app. SkoolBro does not host course content or online tests.
If a requirement is not covered, tell us and we will say plainly whether it fits.
Questions
Questions people ask
What is a vocational institute management system?
It is software that keeps a vocational institute's trades, batches, trainees, attendance, assessments, workshop stock, fees and certificates in one account. SkoolBro is built for this.
Can we record practical assessments?
Yes. Each assessment, theory or practical, is an exam with papers and marks, and results and report cards come from the same records.
Can we keep track of tools and materials?
Yes. Inventory holds stock by location with counts, so workshops know what they have.
Can trainees get certificates?
Yes. Certificates are made from templates and carry a number that anyone can check on a public page.
Can instructors take attendance in a workshop?
Yes. Attendance saves on the phone even with a weak connection and syncs later.
Can we manage several campuses?
Yes. One organization holds many campuses, with staff limited to where they work.
