Layers

Layers build on each other and each one works on its own: turn on the next layer when you want it, turn it off when you don't. Turning off deletes no data.

1. Base

   “Let me keep my list in order.”

   Courses and participants, lessons and attendance, certificates

   • Corporate training programmes for a customer company: in person, online or hybrid, priced per participant, per lesson, per group or fixed
   • A programme is invoiced as one draft per paying company; no participant, lesson or group is invoiced twice
   • Lessons never clash: an instructor or a room cannot be in two lessons at once; lessons can be added on chosen weekdays across a date range
   • Participants who finish within the absence limit get a certificate with a checkable code and a 1–5 rating link

2. Tracking

   “Let me not miss what happens when.”

   The weekly timetable

   • A weekly timetable of every course's lessons, day by day, with instructor and room

3. Process

   “Let the work follow a rule.”

   Instalment plans and collection per enrolment

   • An instalment plan per enrolment: the total splits into equal instalments one or more months apart, the remainder on the last
   • Payments settle instalments in due order and never exceed what is owed; once paid against, the plan cannot be replaced
   • An overdue instalment is reported once to the owners and admins; a paid one never is

4. Control

   “Let me manage it and account for it.”

   Instructor pay

   • Instructor pay from an hourly rate valid from a date: each month, the lessons held × the rate on each lesson's day
   • For an employed instructor the recorded month becomes a draft payroll entry; a month with unrated hours or mixed currencies is refused
