For CTE Business teachers

Your two biggest courses, already written

Personal Finance and Principles of Business & Marketing - the two courses most CTE business departments run every period of the day. Interactive diagrams, questions as students read, and a dashboard that tells you which idea the class missed and the words that fix it.

No account needed for either. Your first year is free.

Course by course, including what we do not cover

Listed the way a CTE department timetables them. We have marked each course honestly, because you will find out in week two anyway.

Double-entry bookkeeping and the accounting cycle

Word, PowerPoint and Access skills
Microsoft Office Specialist certification prep
Database management and workplace software

What makes it teachable on Monday

Students run a business, not read about one

Pricing, hiring and production decisions over several rounds, plus a stock analysis workshop using real company filings. Applied work without leaving the room.

Diagrams they can move

Break-even, the marketing mix, the product life cycle, supply and demand, compound interest - the student drags the inputs and watches the outcome change.

Written answers get first-pass marking

Feedback per criterion before it reaches you. You can read it, change it or overrule it - the grade is never the machine's final word.

A dashboard that names the problem

Not just "62% on break-even", but which wrong answer the class chose and the written explanation that corrects it. Take it straight into Monday's lesson.

On standards and certifications

Our standards map covers Jump$tart and the Council for Economic Education. We do not claim alignment to your state's CTE framework, and there is no industry certification preparation - not MOS, not QuickBooks, not ESB. If your programme is judged on certification pass rates, QuantAim sits alongside that, not in place of it. If your district needs a CTE crosswalk, ask and we will build it with you rather than tick a box we have not done.

Your first year is free. Every teacher, every student, all five courses, nothing to pay and no card required. After that a department licence is $99 a year - up to 5 teachers, unlimited students.
