Becoming an institute admin
The invitation, registering step by step, and what EduPeak checks.
There are two doors into EduPeak for an institute. Both end in the same short registration wizard, and at the end of it you are the institute’s admin.
- An invitation. Someone from EduPeak — or an EduPeak Guide (a partner who introduces institutes to EduPeak) — sends you a personal invitation by email, often with a note, a letter signed by EduPeak’s founder, Hiteshwari Trivedi, and the institute brochure. It carries a link that opens EduPeak’s invitation page.
- On your own. On edupeak.org, press Register your institute (on the Teachers page), or create an account and choose I teach students. You will create your account and go straight on to the wizard.
Your EduPeak account
Your institute hangs off your own personal EduPeak account — one account, with a password you choose. If you already have an EduPeak account (for example as a parent following your own child), use it: the admin role is simply added to it, and nothing you already have changes.
You create your account on EduPeak’s sign-up page on edupeak.org: your first and last name, a User ID (small letters, numbers and dots, like rohan.kulkarni — it cannot be changed yet), your email, and a password of 8 or more characters with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter and a number. If you came from an invitation, EduPeak brings you back to it when you are done. If you sign up without one, the page shows a short code for you to type in — there is no waiting for an email.
Opening your invitation
Open the link from your email (or from the WhatsApp message the sender forwarded). If you are not signed in yet, you will see the invitation with two buttons:
The card tells you who invited you, that the invitation was emailed and is locked to your address (shown partly hidden), and when it expires. Invitations last 60 days.
Once you are signed in with the right email, the card shows one orange button:
- Press Register your institute → (1). The invitation is marked as used and the registration wizard opens.
Registering your institute, step by step
The wizard first asks which of three shapes sounds like you. Whichever you pick, EduPeak sets you up the same way underneath — an organisation with a head office, and you as its head and a teacher — so you can grow later without redoing anything.
| Choose… | If you are… | Steps |
|---|---|---|
| A multi-location institute | schools or branches in more than one place, many teachers | 3 |
| A single-centre coaching class | one centre, a few teachers working together | 2 |
| An independent teacher | teaching on your own — no centre, no colleagues | 1 |
A multi-location institute (3 steps)
Sunrise Science Academy has two centres in Pune, so Rohan chose this shape.
- Type the organisation name (1), for example Sunrise Science Academy.
- Choose an organisation code (2) — a short, unique name for your institute, such as SUNRISE-PUNE. It is changed to capital letters as you type. When you move out of the box, EduPeak checks it and shows ✓ available or ✗ taken.
- Press Next: your head office →.
- Type the location name of your head office or first campus (for example Kothrud centre).
- If you like, add the building or street, the city, the state and the 6-digit PIN code.
- Press Next: your first teacher →. (Back returns to step 1 without losing what you typed.)
- Type your first teacher’s first name, last name and email. The mobile number is optional.
- Press Finish setup →.
The teacher gets an invitation; accepting it adds the teacher role to their account — people already on EduPeak just sign in, no second account. You can invite more teachers later from the console (chapter 4).
A single-centre coaching class (2 steps)
- Step 1 asks for the coaching class name, the organisation code and (optionally) the address. Your centre automatically becomes its only location — you will not be asked to manage locations. Press Next: your teachers →.
- Step 2 lets you invite a colleague (“You’re already this centre’s first teacher. Invite a colleague now — or skip and add them anytime.”). Fill in their name and email and press Finish setup →, or press Skip for now.
An independent teacher (1 step)
Give your address if you wish, choose an organisation code and press Finish setup →. That is genuinely all: your institute is named after you, and underneath you get the same setup as a big institute (you are its head and its only teacher).
What EduPeak checks
The Next and Finish setup buttons stay pale until what is needed is filled in correctly:
| Field | The rule |
|---|---|
| Organisation name | Required (multi-location and coaching class). |
| Organisation code | Required. Up to 32 characters: letters and numbers, with - and _ allowed, no spaces. It must not already be taken by another institute. The wizard warns: “This code may appear in your URL one day — choose wisely.” |
| Head-office name | Required for a multi-location institute. |
| Address | Optional. If you type a PIN code it must be a valid 6-digit Indian PIN (it cannot start with 0) — otherwise you see “PIN code should be 6 digits”. |
| First teacher | Multi-location: first name, last name and email are required. Coaching class: optional — but if you invite a colleague, give their first name, last name and a real email address. Mobile is always optional. |
When you finish
If you invited a first teacher, the wizard stops on a success screen — You’re set up. 🎉 Your institute is registered. — with that teacher’s invitation, so you cannot miss it. EduPeak emails the invitation to the teacher, and the screen also gives you the link with Copy and Share on WhatsApp buttons, so you can send it personally too (see “Sharing an invitation” in chapter 4). Then press Go to your institute console →.
If you did not invite a teacher, you go straight to the console. Either way, the console greets you with a green banner: You’re set up. 🎉 Next — create your first batch.
