The problem
The tools for independent trainers weren't built for you.
Arlo was designed for corporate L&D departments with IT budgets. Eventbrite was designed to sell concert tickets. Neither understands certifications, neither respects your margin, and neither gets out of your way.
Eventbrite taxes every seat
A 6.99% + $1.79 fee per attendee on a $1,000 seat is $68.69 that leaves your pocket. On a class of 20, that's roughly $1,374 gone. Every single cohort.
Arlo costs more than your rent
Arlo starts around $159/month for the lowest tier, climbs fast with users and modules, and still leaves you stitching together certifying-body workflows by hand.
Nothing understands certifications
Scrum Alliance CSM class lists. Scrum.org assessments. ICAgile learner IDs. Generic platforms make you bolt this on with spreadsheets. You deserve better.
The solution
A training operations platform, built by trainers, priced like a SaaS.
Three flat-priced tiers. Everything you need to run classes, issue credentials, and report back to certifying bodies. None of the per-seat surprises.
Certification-aware catalog
Define classes once with CSM / CSPO / PSM / ICP metadata baked in. Roll them out on as many dates as you want without re-entering every field.
Cohort + roster management
A real cohort model. Track waitlists, transfers, corporate purchase orders, and per-learner credentials, without duct-taping three tools together.
Certifying-body connectors
Native submissions to Scrum Alliance CSM class lists and Scrum.org assessments. ICAgile learner rosters. Custom webhooks for anything else.
Issue credentials that stick
Branded certificates, Open Badges 3.0, and a verifier page on every credential, so your certifications stay legitimate long after the class is over.
Numbers that actually help
Margin per class. Revenue per certifying body. Fill-rate trends. Not a 40-column export you'll never open again.
A public trainer storefront
Your own branded storefront with a live schedule, registration pages, and integrated booking. One URL you can hand to every prospective learner.
How it works
Catalog → Sell → Deliver → Close the loop.

Branded registration pages, corporate POs, group discounts, waitlists. Stripe under the hood, flat platform fee.
