Track workshop hours, industry certifications, and employer placements from one system built for vocational training. Free Community Edition with full source code for self-hosting.
Desafios que Vocational Schools Enfrentam Hoje
Se algum desses cenários parece familiar, o OpenEduCat foi desenvolvido para resolvê-los.
Competency Tracking is Manual
Vocational programmes require tracking practical skill sign-offs, not just written grades. Without purpose-built tools, trainers log competency assessments in notebooks that never reach the central system.
Workshop and Equipment Scheduling Conflicts
Shared lab equipment, machines, and workshop spaces need careful scheduling. Without automated booking, double-bookings and idle capacity create disruption for practical sessions.
Industry Placement Coordination is Fragmented
Placement coordinators manage employer relationships, student assignments, and attendance logs across emails and spreadsheets with no consolidated visibility.
Hybrid Delivery Without a Unified Platform
Modern vocational programmes mix in-person workshops with online theory components. Delivering both coherently requires a platform that handles both, not two separate systems.
Slow Academic Results
Without automation, processing assessments, generating transcripts, and notifying students takes 6 days or more — delaying progression decisions and employer verifications.
Compliance Documentation Burden
Regulatory bodies require detailed records of attendance, assessment methods, trainer qualifications, and student outcomes. Gathering this data manually consumes significant staff time each reporting cycle.

Dúvidas comuns sobre software de gestão para vocational school.
What is an open source vocational school management system?
An open source vocational school management system is software whose source code is freely available, allowing vocational and trade schools to self-host, customise, and extend it. OpenEduCat covers the full vocational operations stack: admissions, attendance, competency tracking, hybrid learning delivery, placement coordination, and finance. The Community Edition is completely free under LGPL.
How does OpenEduCat handle competency-based assessment?
OpenEduCat's gradebook supports competency-based assessment alongside traditional grading. Trainers can record practical sign-offs, skill-level assessments, and portfolio evaluations tied to defined competency frameworks. Results are aggregated into student profiles that show both academic scores and practical competency attainment, giving employers a complete picture.
Can OpenEduCat manage industry placements for vocational students?
Yes. The placement module tracks the complete employer-student placement cycle: employer registrations, available placement slots, student assignments, placement attendance, and completion records. Coordinators have a consolidated view of all active placements and can generate compliance reports for regulatory bodies.
Does OpenEduCat support hybrid learning delivery?
Yes. OpenEduCat combines a physical timetable and attendance system with an integrated LMS and live classroom module. Students can attend in-person workshops and access online theory content, assignments, and recordings from the same platform. Trainers manage both components from a unified course management interface.
How much does vocational school management software cost?
The OpenEduCat Community Edition is free to download and self-host. Vocational schools that need managed cloud hosting, premium modules, dedicated support, or implementation services choose the Enterprise Edition. Enterprise pricing is per user. Contact us for a custom quote based on your school size and module selection.
How does OpenEduCat speed up results processing?
Manual assessment processing typically takes several days per cycle: collecting answer sheets, calculating scores, verifying results, and notifying students. OpenEduCat automates score aggregation, competency status updates, and result notifications, significantly reducing the processing cycle. Automated certificate generation further removes the final bottleneck.
Does OpenEduCat support regulatory compliance reporting for vocational schools?
Yes. OpenEduCat generates structured reports covering attendance rates, assessment completion, trainer qualifications, student outcomes, and placement statistics — the data sets typically required by TVET regulatory bodies, Skills Development Authorities, and vocational accreditation agencies. Reports pull live data, eliminating manual assembly.
