Independent schools, bootcamps, and FE colleges can take ‘tell me about the course’ on a marketing page. The form logs the prospect and the question so admissions is not fishing them out of a shared info@ inbox.
Route to admissions or the programme administrator.
Fees, visits, applications, international, other—in the copied select.
Repeat the snippet; same Form ID is fine if the message includes the URL.
Prospectus, open-day link, or ‘please apply’—not a generic thanks.
An education inquiry is a pre-application question: fees, scholarships, start dates, visa sponsorship, SEN support, or whether last year’s grades still qualify. US admissions offices call it an inquiry; UK colleges often say enquiry. Same job—structured contact plus intent before an application fee or personal statement.
Treating every email as an application inflates CRM numbers and annoys people who only wanted a prospectus. A dedicated inquiry form keeps the funnel honest.
You need enough to send the right PDF and invite the right open day, not a full academic transcript.
Do not ask for Social Security, NI numbers, or full transcripts on an inquiry. That belongs on the application.
Slate, Salesforce, and Tribal are the end state. HTML is how small providers start without a six-month CRM project.
One form per programme, or one form with inquiry type set to the course name.
Use when you already score leads. This form feeds CSV or Zapier until then.
Good for office hours; terrible as the only record overnight.
Still preferred by some families. Log the call; do not pretend the form replaces phones.
Many specialist providers rebuild the site once a year. Put the form on each course until you have a CRM embed.
UK providers should include ICO-aligned privacy text near the form. US schools should not promise FERPA protections they cannot keep on a marketing tool—be accurate in the notice.
Inquiry is a question. Enrolment is a commitment to a place. Keep them as separate forms.
Yes—company field plus a message naming the student. You still need the student’s own application later.
Use inquiry type and be clear you are not giving immigration advice in the auto-reply.
Use the workshop or event registration generator if you need headcount. This form is for unstructured questions.
Let families pick conference windows without a paper signup sheet.
Collect typed consent for off-site trips without scanning paper slips.
Staff school fairs, matches, and open evenings with a public signup.
