What it does day to day

Applications come in from your website form, or the office types them in. Each course has its own steps, say enquiry, applied, audition booked, auditioned, offered, accepted and enrolled, and each applicant shows where they are and when they got there.

Audition days get slots, panels and score sheets. After the panel meets, you send offers with their conditions, the applicant accepts online and pays the deposit, and one click turns them into a student ready for the first term.
