Why Education & Training Businesses Need a Directory
Training providers, tutors, course creators, and educational institutions. A directory solves a core problem: create a searchable database of businesses, people, or resources with profiles and categories.
Education & Training professionals deal with managing course enrolments and schedules and tracking student progress and assessments. A purpose-built directory handles reviews, map integration, profile pages, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.
Directory Features for Education & Training
MVP features (launch in 4-6 hours):
- Basic listings
- Search function

Advanced features (add later):
- Paid featured listings

This directory is moderate complexity, achievable in a focused sprint. We recommend starting with the MVP and iterating based on real user feedback from your education & training clients.
