Self-hosted school & training-provider software

Course and appointment bookings, a competency matrix that knows what expires when, certificates a learner or an employer can verify on your own domain, signed consent forms, the reception book that becomes a fire roll call, fee invoicing, and the staff rota and leave behind it — bought once and kept on the server that already holds your learner records. Every tool below is a one-time purchase, and your data lives on your own server.

Every tool on this page is one payment; the figures above are the vendors' own published monthly prices multiplied by twelve, nothing else.

Self-hosted without the assembly

The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 8 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.
