Academy

Teach courses — bridal make-up, hair, nails, spa therapy. Students enrol on a course, attend its batches, pay in parts and get a certificate when they finish. For every beauty & wellness business: salon, beauty parlour or spa.

Switch: Settings > Salon > Academy. Off by default. Needs Memberships switched on — a course uses the same enrolment, dues and timetable screens.

Where it appears

An Academy menu in the salon shell — Students, Batches, Courses, Course Dues and the Academy reports — and an Enrol Student quick action.

A batch takes only students enrolled on its own course, and is never sold as a drop-in.
