Education
Enrolments, fees, and the calendar. In one system.
Schools, universities, vocational training providers, and education technology companies running Odoo for enrolments, fee billing, course catalogue, alumni, and the procurement and finance backbone the institution runs on.
Processes
What we configure for Education.
Configure the standard product first; customise only when standard truly cannot.
-
01
Enrolment
Application, offer, acceptance, fee schedule generation. Cohort management, capacity rules, waitlists, and the renewal cycle the calendar imposes.
-
02
Fee billing
Tuition, levies, bonds, payment plans, family discounts, scholarship offsets, and the dunning that respects parents while collecting the money.
-
03
Course catalogue
Subjects, sessions, prerequisites, capacities, and the back-office that turns a published catalogue into a cost centre.
-
04
Alumni and giving
Alumni CRM, donations, capital campaigns, gift acknowledgements. The long-term relationship the institution lives on.
-
05
Operations and finance
Procurement, payroll, compliance reporting. The boring half of education that keeps the lights on.
Pain, addressed
Where Education clients usually start.
-
01 · The pain
Enrolment rolls over annually and every year is a panic.
Our answer
Cohort templates, automatic offer letters, fee schedules generated against the calendar. The annual roll becomes a button, not a project.
-
02 · The pain
Fee discounts and scholarships are a calculation nobody can audit.
Our answer
Discount and scholarship rules in Odoo, applied to the fee schedule, visible on the invoice, and journaled to the right cost centre.
-
03 · The pain
Alumni database is in a different system, donations live somewhere else again.
Our answer
Alumni in Odoo CRM, donations tied to the alumni record and to specific campaigns, gift receipts generated automatically.
-
04 · The pain
Compliance reporting is a manual export-and-paste exercise.
Our answer
Reports defined once, regenerable on demand. The data lives in one place, the auditors get the same answer twice.

Frequently asked
Questions about Education.
Is Odoo a Learning Management System? +
Odoo has eLearning capability and we use it for short courses, induction, and professional development. For full LMS functionality (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard) we integrate, we do not replace.
Can we manage multiple campuses or business units? +
Yes. Multi-company in Odoo, with consolidated reporting at the group level, separate operational autonomy at the campus level. We configure the chart of accounts and reporting hierarchy to match your governance.
How do payment plans work? +
Fee schedule generates installments, each becomes an invoice, each invoice has its own payment terms and reminders. Families on payment plans see a single statement, not seven invoices.
What about international students and currencies? +
Multi-currency invoicing, currency-of-payment selection per family, automatic FX rate handling, and revaluation at period close. The international finance complexity, made boring.
