The Problem

  • Twelve programs, one admissions team, and every inquiry needs a different answer.
  • The lead that fills out a form at 10 PM gets a call at 10 AM. By then they've toured somewhere else.
  • Reps burn hours on "what does it cost" and "when does it start" before they ever get to a real conversation.

Klozur

  • One AI trained on every program, so the welding inquiry and the dental assisting inquiry both get the right answer.
  • Replies in under 60 seconds from your school's number, day or night.
  • Books the campus tour or admissions call and hands your rep the full thread.

What just happened in that thread

A 6:52 AM inquiry, answered and booked before the front desk unlocked the door.

  • Recognized the program from the first message and answered from that program's sheet, not a generic script.
  • Handled the placement question the way you'd want it handled, then moved to the tour.
  • Booked an evening slot because the prospect asked about evening classes.
  • Everything landed in your dashboard with the tour on the advisor's calendar.

What Klozur handles for career schools

Every answer comes from the knowledge base you approve. Anything else goes to a human.

Multi-program routing

Knows the difference between the HVAC inquiry and the phlebotomy inquiry, and answers each from its own program sheet.

Financial aid questions

Names the paths (federal aid, WIOA, scholarships, payment plans) and routes the numbers to your financial aid office.

Campus tours

Books the tour, sends directions, reminds them the morning of. Reschedules on the spot.

Evening and weekend cohorts

Captures the schedule constraint and matches it to the right cohort before the rep ever picks up.

Lost-contact leads

Re-engages the inquiries that went quiet last term. Our dental and vet assisting campaigns start with exactly these.

Escalation

Anything outside the knowledge base goes to a human with a clean summary. No made-up answers.

What your prospects are actually saying.

Five themes pulled from 22,515 inbound texts across our partner CDL and trade schools. Different programs, same five worries.

~25-30%

"Can I actually afford this?"

How Klozur handles it: warmly acknowledges the concern, never quotes numbers itself, then books a call with your advisor who can walk through every funding path (grants, GI Bill, voc rehab, employer-paid) for their situation.

~18-22%

"Does class fit around my job?"

How Klozur handles it: captures the schedule constraint, validates it, and books a call with your advisor who can match them to the right cohort. No guessing, no generic info dump.

~15-18%

"Just give me the basics."

How Klozur handles it: logs what they need answered and books a 15-minute call with your advisor. Real specifics in one conversation, not three forms and a callback queue.

~10-13%

"Will my background disqualify me?"

How Klozur handles it: captures the eligibility question without judgment and books a confidential 1:1 with your advisor, the right person to walk through case-by-case answers.

~8-10%

"Am I even talking to a real human?"

How Klozur handles it: Klozur is the warm handoff to your team. Sub-60-second first reply, named advisor, confirmed callback window, then a real human picks up. This is the wedge.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see your question, ask in the form below.

We have 15 programs. Can it keep them straight?

Yes. Each program gets its own sheet in the knowledge base. The AI answers from the one the prospect asked about, and asks when it isn't clear.

What about accreditation and licensing questions?

It answers from what you approve and nothing else. Anything outside the sheet goes to your team with a summary.

Do we need to change our phone system?

No. Klozur works alongside whatever you have. Leads forward in by webhook, API, or SMS.

How fast can we be live?

Under 10 business days for most schools. Business-texting registration (A2P 10DLC) is the long pole, and we handle it.

Who owns the conversations?

You do. Every lead and transcript is exportable any time and deleted on request.
