Using the legacy Client Portal

  • Updated
Follow

The Client Portal has been created to allow RTOs’ clients to enrol students into pre-arranged training. The portal allows clients to view student progress and download issued certificates. The Client Portal can be configured to include your clients logo.

Your RTO will need to create your user account and manage your permissions to provide you with access to the Client Portal. If you have any difficulties accessing the Client Portal due to invalid login credentials or permissions please contact your RTO Administrator.

Client Portal

The only user role who can access the client portal are users assigned to the client role with the following permissions:

  • Class Instances: View
  • Contact Management: View
  • Enrolments: Add
  • Workshop Instances: View
  • Reports: Full Access
  • Search Contacts: Full Access
  • Master Settings: Full Access
  • Non-Client Users cannot use the Client Portal
 

Tip: Click on the RTO's logo in the top left corner of the screen to return to the homepage.

 

Note: Enabling the Master Settings permission is to ensure the Client Portal can send and receive information from aXcelerate. Clients will not be able to make updates to any system settings.

Log into the Client Portal

The Client Portal has both a Live and a Staging Environment. To access the client portal, use the following URL: app.axcelerate.com.

  1. Enter your Username and Password
  2. Click Login
 

Tip: You will automatically receive your login details when your RTO administrator creates your user account. If this is your first time logging into the portal, you will be prompted to reset your password.
