Features
Everything the job actually needs.
CohortStudio is opinionated about one thing: running certification classes should not require five subscriptions and a spreadsheet. Here's the full picture.
01 · Catalog
Define every class once, with certification metadata baked in. Reuse it forever.
Certification-aware class templates
CSM, A-CSM, CSPO, PSM, PSPO, ICP-ACC, ICP-ENT, PMP, SAFe SPC: each template carries the fields the certifying body actually expects.
Unlimited session instances
Spin up every class date from the same template. Edit the template once, every future session updates.
Time zones done right
Your learners see their local time. You see yours. No AM/PM confusion on the enrollment page.
02 · Sell
Registration pages that convert, payments that reconcile, and purchase orders that don't require a spreadsheet.
Stripe Checkout built in
Instant payouts, saved cards, Apple/Google Pay. You keep 100% of seat revenue minus Stripe's processing fee.
Corporate purchase orders
Flag a registration as PO, send an invoice, and mark paid when the wire arrives. No duct tape required.
Discounts, waitlists, transfers
Early-bird discounts, coupon codes, group rates, waitlists with auto-promote, and learner-initiated transfers between cohorts.
03 · Deliver
One portal for the learner. One dashboard for you. Everything in between handled.
Single learner portal
Pre-work, session links, attendance check-in, post-work, credential download. All in one place for every class the learner takes with you.
Content library
Upload slides, handouts, and recordings once. Attach them to any class template. Version them as you iterate.
Cohort communication
Send templated emails to a whole cohort or a segment. Track opens. No more BCC'ing 20 people by hand.
04 · Close the loop
Submit to the certifying body, issue credentials, and reconcile the books, automatically.
Native certifying-body connectors
Scrum Alliance class list submission, Scrum.org assessment provisioning, ICAgile learner enrollment. One click instead of a CSV dance.
Verifiable credentials
Branded PDF certificates + Open Badges 3.0 with a public verifier page at cohortstudio.io/verify/{id}.
Revenue + margin analytics
Revenue per certifying body, margin per class, fill-rate trends, cohort-to-cohort comparison. The numbers you actually run the business on.
05 · Integrate
The tools you already use (calendars, email, CRMs) all connected.
Webhooks + REST API
Every important event fires a webhook. A REST API exposes catalogs, sessions, learners, and credentials for custom integrations.
CSV export on everything
No data lock-in. Export learners, orders, credentials, attendance, and financial line items at any time.
SSO and audit logs
SAML SSO on the Network plan. Audit trail on every change, retained for three years. Good enough for your corporate buyers.
Your data, exportable. Your business, yours.
Every record in CohortStudio can be exported as CSV. If you leave, you leave with your data.
