Intrinsiq
has developed language school student administration systems for
over a dozen language schools and EFL sector companies. Our student
systems are now amongst the most reputable in the country, and are being
used by some of the UK's top language schools. The testimonials
below offer insight into the high levels of satisfaction experienced
by language schools using an Intrinsiq student system.
Cambridge
Education Group / Stafford House
(Client since 2006)
The system for Stafford
House Study Holidays deals with all the administrative requirements
for their summer school including teacher placement and payroll,
staff task assignments, weekly centre reports, group and individual
enrolments, airport transfers, excursion planning and extensive
management reporting. The system is used at head office and at all
of their summer centres.
The system also covers all the administrative requirements for the
year-round Stafford House School of English, including class
allocation, attendance tracking and student accommodation. Again the
system has a wide range of reports, including producing a variety of
documents for students and in-depth student statistics
Stafford House School
of English previously used Infospeed's Class system and switched to
Intrinsiq due to the flexibility and affordability of the Intrinsiq
system.
"Working with the Intrinsiq database proved easy. The layout is
clear and simple to use. It enables straightforward actions for
beginners, whilst still allowing for more complex usage for more
experienced users and provides all the information we need quickly. Intrinsiq
are always available when help is required, and provide great
support at all times."
"Intrinsiq are very 'user friendly', both in terms of the package
and the after service. Very nice people, reliable and a pleasure to
work with!"
"Just so you know the database is working brilliantly and really
works for my needs. Thanks so much for all of the work you have
done."
ISIS Education
(Client since 2009)
The ISIS system is
designed to cater to the needs of their Bucksmore summer school,
their summer centres and their year-round school, all in one
system. Different sets of users have access to only certain parts
of the system as relevant, while managers get an overview of the
whole operation.
The system functionality includes group and individual enrolments,
staff placements and payroll, student accommodation, classing,
attendance tracking, invoicing and credit control, as well as the
usual management reporting and statistics.
"We use Intrinsiq for our year round adult schools and our
summer school centres and frankly I don’t know how we functioned
before we were introduced to Intrinsiq! It gives us all the
information we could possibly need as a company, and allows us to
access data in a user friendly way that even computer-phobes can
operate!
As we progress, Intrinsiq is with us every step of the way and if
there is anything else we need in the system, be it large or
small, it is easily done. The system also assists us with UKBA and
British Council requirements.
We are a family-run company and the Intrinsiq team have fitted
right in. It is good to have a voice on the other end of the phone
that you know by name and we feel that we are not just a number
but a customer that is treated with care."
BEET Language
Centre
(Client since 2003)
The BEET system deals
with all aspects of student administration from agent contacts,
through enrolment, accommodation and invoicing, to class
allocation and beyond. Both the students in the main school and
those on the teacher training courses are dealt with in one
system, using common information where relevant.
"Intrinsiq works
well for us, and can be easily adapted as the business adapts, at
little to no cost. The big advantage is that it is tailor-made from
the start, and you are not faced with the adaptation costs of an
off-the-shelf system, or a system loaded with functions you do not
need."
"The Intrinsiq
system has streamlined our office and us! We no longer use vast
amounts of the Rain Forest to function. What we like is that you
enter the information in once and it appears everywhere. Their claim
of 'only entering data once' certainly rings true. Intrinsiq - Saves
time, tears and tantrums!!!"
"Before we had the Intrinsiq system installed, I needed to stay at
the office until 7.30pm in the busy summer period just to keep on
top of everything. Now that we have the system, and even though
we're busier now than in the past, I can still go home on time
having done everything I need to."
English Studio
(Client since 2004)
Their system deals
with all the basics - student enrolments, accommodation,
invoicing, class allocations, and attendance tracking, as well as interfacing with their
Sage accounts package. The system is used across the various sites
they have in London. They also have automated student level
tests, exit tests and leavers questionnaire, as well as giving the
ability to their students to print a variety of administrative
letters themselves.
"The new database
has made a lot of very complex systems and procedures function
efficiently and in one place, we are no longer bogged down in
paperwork. The database is particularly good as it continues to
evolve as our company does.
Once it was set up we weren't abandoned, any teething problems or
additional features were sorted out immediately. The level of
support we have received from Intrinsiq has been fantastic."
St George
International
(Client since 2009)
The St George system
covers the usual – student enrolments, accommodation, classing and
attendance, as well as dealing with their foreign language
teaching, and tracking student tutorials and work covered. Their
system also integrates with the Guided E-Learning online learning
system.
“We have been
working with the Intrinsiq management system for a year now and we
are extremely happy with our choice. The system is customized to our
needs, and adding new reports and functionality as they become
necessary is quick and simple. For example, reacting to new Tier 4
requirements has been greatly facilitated by the flexibility of the
Intrinsiq system.”
EJO

EJO's student system
deals with group and individual enrolments across more than a
dozen centres. It administers host family accommodations,
invoicing and the teacher recruitment for the busy summer months.
The system also administers their English Home Lessons section and
interfaces with their MYOB accounts package.
"Having used the
system for over 7 years, we remain delighted with it. The customer
service we receive from Intrinsiq is second to none - any problems
we encounter are swiftly resolved and further amendments are made
when we need them."
"The more you use it, the more you realise just how much it has to
offer. You soon work out that it can be customised to do just about
anything."
Kensington
Academy
(Client since 2009)
Their system caters
to all the usual administrative requirements - student enrolments,
classing, attendance, accommodation, invoicing, producing
documentation and management reporting. The system also deals with
one-to-one classing.
“Intrinsiq were
recommended to us by another school and we had a very positive first
meeting. Intrinsiq were very attuned to our needs as an EFL school
and worked with us to design a system that matched our requirements.
It has been quick and easy to get further requests and refinements
implemented and we are pleased with a system that is quick and
simple to use.
The
functionality for allocating students to classes, recording
attendance and student progress in tests has become an invaluable
tool on the academic side, and the ability to easily access
information and print off well-formatted reports of student data
will really help us going forward.”
Oak Hill College
(Client since 2008)
Oak Hill is a
theological college associated with Middlesex University. Their
system administers all details to do with current and past students
including keeping track of all modules being attended by students,
their attendance and their results. The system also helps put
together the information required to decide on the degree award of
each student.
Another aspect of the
database helps them with their marketing, and mailshots to past
students and other contacts.
"The new
system from Intrinsiq has enabled us to work more efficiently as a
lot of routine tasks have been made so much quicker when done using
the Intrinsiq system which in turn frees us up to concentrate on
other things. The new system also enables us to retrieve stored
information more easily and quickly.
Working with Intrinsiq has been very straight forward and we have
always found them to be very helpful"
Concorde
(Client since 2003)
Their system deals
with group and individual enrolments, accommodation and invoicing.
It also administers airport transfers and student class allocations, and
has a whole section devoted to their Home Tuition
courses.
Similar to other systems, the Concorde System has a wide range of
reports covering all of their administrative, operational and
management requirements.
"We had enough
confidence in our new system to switch over to it at a very busy
time of the year; our confidence was well-placed as the transition
went very smoothly and we now have more accurate data, readily
available. This is clearly a superior product to what we had
before."
Oxford House
School of English
(Client since 2005)
The Oxford House system deals
with agent and individual enquiries, student and group enrolments,
student accommodation and invoicing.
"We have recently
purchased an Enrolment/Administration system from Intrinsiq which is
tailor-made to our requirements as a small school. We are delighted
with our decision, as the system is proving a huge time-saver, is
user-friendly and covers all our main administrative needs without
being over-elaborate.
The system support provided by Intrinsiq is both friendly and
efficient and I have no hesitation in recommending them to any
institution for which, like us, off-the-shelf software is too
elaborate and too expensive."
Tti School of
English
(Client since 2005)
The Tti system
administers their student enrolments, tracking students from
enquiry to end of course holding full details of invoices,
payments, courses, classes and re-enrolments.
"Intrinsiq
confidently managed our gradual computerization process, and
carefully tailored the product to our existing systems while gently
guiding us towards better practice. We found the Intrinsiq staff
easy to communicate with and understanding of our needs, and easy to
contact even in a hurry -- the next best thing for firms like us who
are too small to have an in-house IT department.
Now, after
the first year of operation, many dreary manual tasks are just a
distant memory, and we have noticeably more time to devote to
more important things. Moreover, for the first time we have
reliable data for historical comparisons that will help us make
better-guided decisions. Intrinsiq have lived up to
expectations, and with this service they deserve to do well."
International
House Bristol
(formerly The Language
Project)
(Client since 2005)
Their system handles
all the usual student administration as well as catering for
students learning a foreign language and teacher training. Amongst
other things, their system also deals with family pay and arranging
social events.
"We have been with Intrinsiq for years and our package has
evolved with the business. They respond quickly to queries and their
charges are reasonable. I would certainly recommend them."
Bright World
Guardianships
(Client since 2006)
The Bright World
system keeps information about all their guardian students,
holding a myriad of information about each student. The system's
main job is to administer arrivals/departures, half-terms and
weekend exeats, keeping track of where, when and how each student
is going to and who they are staying with. The system also
produces a variety of automated e-mails to check all the necessary
details and to make sure everyone involved is kept informed of
what is happening.
The system additionally deals with the other half of their
business, which is placing overseas students into schools in the
UK, holding information about agents, enquiries and schools.
"We met Intrinsiq
back in September 2006 during a period of significant company growth
when I knew we needed a system. We were running our business using
excel spreadsheets at the time. What impressed us at first was how
quickly Intrinsiq work and how seamless the transition from the old excel
spreadsheets to our new system was. Intrinsiq took all the strain and
our business operations were unaffected.
Now,
nearly one year on I can honestly say that the Intrinsiq system
has totally revolutionised the way our company functions. Our
student numbers have grown significantly since we had it and we
have been able to improve our systems without increasing our
staff levels. It has more than paid for itself in this respect.
It is also good fun and a pleasure working with Intrinsiq who
really seem to understand our business."
"Best
thing we ever did was to get you to do this."
We have
also developed systems for:
