Teach. The admin can type itself.

My career started in education: a new CRM at the Australian Institute of Business, CRM and ERP rollouts for universities, then leading the technology side of South Australia's vocational education strategy. Training businesses run on compliance-shaped admin, and compliance-shaped admin is exactly what automates well.

Live proof

Use it. Right here.

Try to enrol a student with a dodgy USI and a two-digit postcode. The form refuses, in AVETMISS terms, before the record exists.

This working build runs in your browser and needs scripts enabled. Everything on the page describes what it does; turn them on to use it.

Every error caught here never reaches the reporting week. The weekly sweep panel is the other half of the same idea.

The work

Where the hours go, and come back.

The student lifecycle, joined up

Enquiry to enrolment to completion without retyping: the website feeding the student management system you already run, with the follow-ups automated per CRM & automation. Unanswered enquiries are unenrolled students.

Compliance reporting from real records

AVETMISS and funding-body reporting assembled from the SMS data you already keep, validated before submission rather than bounced after, per data & reporting. Audit evidence becomes an export, not an excavation.

Systems that stop fighting

SMS, LMS, CRM and Xero kept in agreement, so a student's status is one fact everywhere: the moodle course opens when the enrolment lands, the invoice raises itself, the certificate waits on the actual completion.

Course pages that enrol

A site where each course earns its own findable, honest page with the intake dates true and the enrol button working, per website rebuilds. For most RTOs the website is the top of the funnel and treated like a brochure.

The record

Where it started, actually.

Education is not an industry I am guessing at: AIB is where the building began, DVE Business Solutions is where I rolled CRM and ERP into universities, and the SA Department of Education is where I led the technology side of a state VET strategy. The sector's mix of pedagogy, funding rules and audit pressure is familiar ground.

Fair questions

Before you ask.

We run a student management system and it is fine, mostly.
Keep it, and fix the "mostly": the website enquiry that dies in an inbox, the LMS that does not know about the enrolment, the AVETMISS export that takes a week. The SMS is rarely the problem; the gaps around it are.
ASQA audits terrify everyone here.
The terror is usually about evidence assembly, not practice. Capture once, structure properly, and audit evidence becomes a query with provenance. The RTO manager signs off; the system does the gathering.
We are a small RTO with a small budget.
The shape of help you can afford is one senior person with AI leverage and a fixed quote. Start with the one automation that returns the most hours, measure it, and let the savings fund the next one.
