About Forma — Academy & Training Institute Management
Bring every student, class and payment into view.
Forma brings day-to-day administration into one workspace for training institutes, language centres and vocational academies. Follow enquiries through to admission, organise classes, record attendance and keep fee records connected.
Know where your institute stands
Owners can filter reports by course, review invoiced fees, collections, outstanding and overdue balances, and download fee and attendance CSVs. Instructors manage attendance for assigned classes while financial controls stay with owners.
Make it feel like your institute
Set your workspace display name, upload your logo and choose one of three colour themes. Personalise certificate titles, signatory names and footer text. Issued certificates keep their original details. Owners and instructors can change their own password from My account; shared demo accounts keep their published credentials.
Keep everyday work connected
Admissions create the student, enrolment, invoice and instalment schedule together. Timetable checks help prevent room, instructor and class clashes. Printable completion certificates require completed lessons, enough attendance and settled fees, with a public verification link.
Buy the code. Choose where it runs.
Receive full source code, setup guides, database files, tests and fictional sample data. Your developer can customise your licensed installation and use any compatible hosting provider. Render and Neon power the demonstration only; neither is required for your own installation.
One-time source-code licence; no recurring Forma software subscription. Hosting, domain, installation and custom work are separate. Vibe96's single-site licence applies; source redistribution is not included. Technical help is recommended for setup.
Explore the product landing page, then select Live Demo to reach the separate login page and try the working app. Its free hosting may need time to wake; the $0 hosting estimate refers to that limited demo only.
English interface. Payments are recorded manually, with no online collection. Automated messaging, student/parent portals, forgotten-password recovery, subscription billing and multi-branch management are not included. Certificates are institute completion records, not official accreditation.

Choose any compatible hosting provider. Full setup steps are included in **HowToSetup.md**. Configure environment settings, database access and HTTPS before starting. **Option 1 — Docker + PostgreSQL** ```sh docker compose build docker compose up -d db docker compose run --rm app php artisan migrate --force docker compose up -d app ``` **Option 2 — VPS + PHP-FPM + Nginx** ```sh composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader npm ci --ignore-scripts npm run build php artisan migrate --force php artisan config:cache php artisan view:cache ``` For VPS installation, point the web root to `public/` and adapt `deploy/nginx.conf`. Register your institute after setup. Never load demo accounts into your live database. Hosting is purchased separately. Render and Neon are optional. Render deployment has been tested; local Docker Compose and VPS routes are documented but not yet verified.
Quality report
Manually reviewedHow to read the quality report
What this is. Every project on Vibe96 goes through an automated audit of its source code before a reviewer in Dubai checks it by hand. The score is out of 100; 75 is the minimum to be listed, and any single failing check blocks a listing regardless of the score.
- Security
- No real credentials in the code, every data-changing route protected, admin areas role-gated, no SQL built from user input.
- Code structure
- A developer can navigate and extend it: clear module boundaries, no giant files, little copy-paste.
- Docs & completeness
- The setup guide, example config, schema and required files the builder committed to are actually in the archive.
- Dependency health
- Packages pinned, no known critical vulnerabilities, no abandoned libraries in production paths.
- Build & deploy
- A clean machine can restore, build and start it by following the shipped instructions.
Warnings are problems that didn't block the listing; they stay visible here until a later version clears them. The audit reads the code — it does not run it — so always try the live demo before you buy. Lines of code are counted from the same audited archive.
Reviewer notes (3 minor)
Small improvements the developer has been told about. None of them stop the software from working.
