What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team drowned in Excel chaos every time a student inquired about our plumbing certification fees and lab supplies—it dragged on for two full days per quote during peak registration. Now, automation handles it seamlessly, slashing time to under 10 minutes. We've seen a 25% spike in enrollment inquiries, especially for our evening apprenticeship slots, because we can engage prospects right away."
Maria Gonzalez
Admissions Director, Midwest Trade Institute (Specializing in Plumbing and HVAC Programs)
"Managing three campuses meant constant battles to align quote pricing for our culinary arts and automotive programs using outdated spreadsheets. AIQ Labs' system syncs flawlessly with our enrollment database, saving us 12 hours weekly on revisions. Last quarter, we dodged three major pricing slip-ups that could've cost $5,000 in refunds and compliance fees, letting us focus on scaling hybrid learning options."
David Chen
Operations Manager, Pacific Vocational Academy (Multi-Campus Network for Culinary and Automotive Training)
"As a boutique vocational school centered on welding and fabrication programs, we couldn't tolerate multi-day delays in quoting full course bundles with equipment rentals. AIQ Labs created a tailored tool that auto-pulls costs from our inventory system—it's like adding a full-time clerk without the payroll hit. We recouped our investment in just the first month through 15% higher package sales and zero material overages."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle varying costs for different vocational programs?
We customize the AI to your specific catalog, factoring in elements like equipment rentals for auto mechanics or lab supplies for medical assisting. It pulls from your database to calculate precise totals, adjusting for program length, group sizes, and any subsidies. This eliminates manual overrides, saving your team hours while ensuring accuracy. We've seen schools reduce quote revisions by 70%, allowing focus on student advising instead.
Yes, we specialize in seamless integrations with tools like Blackbaud or Infinite Campus used in vocational settings. Our team maps your data flows, creating secure APIs that sync enrollment info directly into quotes. No more double-entry errors. For one trade school client, this cut their processing time from days to minutes, boosting their responsiveness to prospective students during busy recruitment seasons.
What about data security and compliance for student information?
Security is paramount in education. We build with FERPA compliance in mind, using encrypted connections and role-based access to protect sensitive data. Quotes generate without storing unnecessary student details long-term. Our systems include audit logs for every action, helping you meet reporting requirements. A recent vocational partner noted how this gave them peace of mind, avoiding potential fines while streamlining operations.
How long does it take to set up the quote automation?
Typically 4-6 weeks from discovery to launch, depending on your workflow complexity. We start with a deep dive into your processes, then develop and test iteratively with your input. For a culinary training provider, we had a prototype running in two weeks, full deployment in five, resulting in immediate 10-hour weekly savings. It's not rushed— we ensure it's robust for your scale.
Can we scale this as our vocational school grows?
Absolutely, our architecture is designed for growth. As you add programs or campuses, the system adapts without rebuilds. It handles spikes in quote volume, like during summer intakes, using efficient AI models. One client expanded from two to five sites seamlessly, maintaining speed and accuracy. This scalability supports your student-outcome focus by keeping admin efficient amid expansion.
What's the ROI like for vocational schools using this?
Clients often see payback in 3-6 months through time savings and higher enrollments. For instance, automating quotes freed up 12 hours weekly for a welding school, equating to $15,000 annual labor savings, plus a 20% enrollment bump from faster responses. We provide metrics tracking to quantify your gains, focusing on efficiency that directly impacts scalable learning initiatives.
