Continuing & professional education

Continuing education runs short courses, workshops and CPD programmes for learners who are not enrolled in a full degree – with their own light-weight registration, attendance and certificate flow.

Where to find it — App drawer → Continuing Education → Enrollments.
Continuing education short-course catalogue
Short courses run as self-contained offerings with their own learners and certificates.

Short courses & learners

A short course is a stand-alone offering – a two-day Excel workshop, a six-week project-management certificate, a professional-development seminar. Unlike a degree course it does not carry programme credits; it is complete in itself. Create one under Continuing Education → Courses with:

  • Title, schedule and venue – dates, sessions and location (or virtual link).
  • Capacity – maximum learners, with a waitlist when full.
  • Fee – a one-off charge, optionally with early-bird or group pricing.
  • Facilitator – the trainer or instructor.
  • Certificate template – what learners receive on completion.

Learners are people enrolled in short courses. A learner may be a member of the public, a corporate delegate, or an existing student picking up CPD. They get a person record (so contact details and history are kept) but are not admitted to a degree programme.

Enrolment & attendance

  1. Open the short course and click Enrol learner, or let learners self-register through the public website.
  2. EduPrime raises the course fee as an invoice; payment can be required before the seat is confirmed.
  3. During delivery, mark attendance per session. Many certificates require a minimum attendance percentage.
  4. Record a completion status – completed, attended, or did not complete – and a result where the course is assessed.
Tip — For corporate clients, create the company as an organisation record and enrol delegates against it. You can then invoice the company once for the whole cohort instead of each delegate individually.

Certificates

On completion, issue certificates in bulk from the course record. EduPrime merges each learner’s name, course title, dates and a unique verification code into the certificate template and produces a PDF per learner. The verification code resolves to a public page so an employer can confirm the certificate is genuine.

Important — Certificates are only issued to learners who meet the completion criteria (attendance and assessment). EduPrime will skip learners who fall short and list them for review, rather than issue an invalid certificate.

Issued certificates are stored against the learner’s record, so a returning learner builds a verifiable CPD history over time – useful for professional bodies that audit continuing-education hours.
