Student Management System South Africa

The student management system built for South Africa.

Student records, courses, assignments, attendance, mentor communication and sponsor reporting in one POPIA-aligned platform. Mobile-first, so it works where your learners actually are. Built on the same AVAV platform that runs the TTI Student Portal in production. This is LearnHub.

The Real Problem

Student data lives in
ten places at once.

Ask most South African training providers, colleges and bursary programmes where a student's information lives, and the honest answer is: everywhere. Attendance sits in one spreadsheet. Marks sit in another. Assignments arrive on WhatsApp, by email, and sometimes on paper. Contact details are in a third file that may or may not be current. And when a sponsor, a parent or an auditor asks a simple question, how is this student actually doing, someone spends an afternoon stitching the answer together by hand.

It gets worse as you grow. More intakes, more courses, more campuses and more people who need a slice of the same data. Every new cohort means another set of files, and every handover means knowledge walks out the door. Meanwhile the information you are holding, ID numbers, academic records, attendance and financial details, is exactly the sensitive personal information POPIA governs. A shared spreadsheet emailed around the office is not where it belongs.

LearnHub was built to end that. It brings registration, student records, courses, assignments, grading, attendance, mentor communication and sponsor reporting into one place, built for South African and Africa institutions and the mobile-first reality of their learners. It runs on the same AVAV platform behind the TTI Student Portal, where bursars track their progress, submit documents and stay funded, from any phone, across all nine provinces.

The scattered-record problem

When a student's history is spread across spreadsheets, WhatsApp and paper, nobody has the full picture. One student record ties registration, marks, attendance and documents together, searchable in seconds.

The reporting scramble

Sponsors and parents want to see progress. Assembling that from separate files takes hours. Live reporting means the answer is always one click away, for you and for them.

What's Included

Everything a student touches,
one platform.

01 · Records

Student Management

Profiles, records, transcripts and digital IDs in one place, POPIA-compliant from day one, so a student's full history is always current and searchable.

02 · Courses

Course & Module Management

Videos, quizzes, assignments and deadlines organised by module, delivered on laptop, tablet or phone and tracked automatically.

03 · Grading

Assignment & Grading

Digital submissions, rubric-based grading and instant feedback, so marks and coursework live with the student record, not in a separate file.

04 · Attendance

Attendance Tracking

QR, biometric or manual check-in, captured against each student, with sponsors notified automatically when a funded learner's attendance drops.

05 · Bursaries

Bursary Integration

Link to TalentFlow so bursars are auto-provisioned, and sponsors see academic progress live, closing the loop between funding and outcomes.

06 · Portals

Sponsor & Parent Portal

Academic progress, attendance and monthly reports shared with sponsors and parents on a POPIA-compliant, role-based basis, from any phone.

Proven In Production

Not a demo.
A live student portal.

The same platform we would deploy for you already runs real student and bursary systems today.

Why AVAV · Local Compliance

Student data,
handled properly.

Student information is some of the most sensitive personal data you can hold. AVAV treats it that way.

POPIA by design

ID numbers, academic records and contact details are encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access and a full audit trail, not scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes and WhatsApp threads.

Mobile-first for SA learners

Most South African students get online on a phone. LearnHub is built mobile-first, the same way the TTI Student Portal is, so learners can register, submit and check progress wherever they are.

Built in South Africa

AVAV has built enterprise systems here since 2019. LearnHub grew out of real student and bursary work, not a foreign product bent to fit local institutions.

Pricing

Scoped to your
institution.

Student programmes vary enormously, from a single training provider to a multi-campus college or a national bursary programme, so LearnHub is quoted to your scope rather than sold at a fixed shelf price. Pricing is in rands, and implementation, data migration and configuration of your courses, attendance rules, grading and reporting are quoted transparently up front.

Book a demo and we will walk your programme through the live system, then scope it honestly. No surprises, and no charging you for scale you do not yet need.

FAQ

Student system questions,
answered plainly.

What is a student management system?

A student management system is software that holds everything an institution needs to run a programme: student records and transcripts, courses and modules, assignments and grading, attendance, communication with students and mentors, and reporting to sponsors or parents. LearnHub replaces the scattered spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and paper registers most training providers and bursary programmes still rely on.

Is LearnHub proven in South Africa?

LearnHub is built on the same AVAV platform that runs live student and bursary systems in production, including the TTI Student Portal where bursars track progress, submit documents and stay funded across nine provinces. AVAV also runs TTI Bursary Management and the SA Reserve Bank bursary recruitment portal, with 1,358+ bursars tracked across 26 universities.

Does it work for students on mobile phones?

Yes. LearnHub is mobile-first. Students register, follow courses, submit assignments and check attendance and results from a phone, which is how most South African learners actually get online. The TTI Student Portal is mobile-first for exactly this reason.

Is the system POPIA compliant?

LearnHub is built with POPIA in mind. Student personal information, including ID numbers, academic records and contact details, is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and every action is captured in an audit trail. Sharing with sponsors and parents is controlled, so people only see what they are entitled to see.

Can bursary sponsors see student progress?

Yes. LearnHub links to TalentFlow bursary management, so bursars can be auto-provisioned and sponsors get a portal showing academic progress, attendance and monthly reporting. When a funded student's attendance drops, sponsors can be notified, without anyone assembling a manual spreadsheet.

Can we track attendance and assignments in one place?

Yes. Attendance can be captured by QR, biometric or manual check-in, and assignments are submitted, graded against rubrics and returned with feedback, all in the same system as the student record. No more attendance in one spreadsheet, marks in another and assignments on WhatsApp.

How long does it take to deploy?

Because LearnHub is a proven product rather than a custom build, most institutions go live in weeks. AVAV configures your courses, attendance rules, grading and reporting, migrates existing student data, and trains your team before an intake opens.
