AMS turns every
into an accredited record
The operating system for accredited education.
AMS is the platform behind Woolf, a fully accredited university in Europe. It holds every college, degree, course, and student — and captures the evidence of learning as it happens. At any moment, Woolf can show what a learner actually did, which verified course it counted toward, how many credits it earned, and whether the degree is ready to award.
Four parts, one system
A partner runs the day-to-day learning experience. Woolf runs the university. AMS keeps the chain of evidence intact between them.
AMS
The academic core. The single source of truth for content, students, progress, and graduation records.
Airlock API
A GraphQL surface partners use to sync content, enroll students, and send grades and submissions.
Airlock SDK
A JavaScript SDK that records learning as it happens. It captures which student did what, and when.
Woolf Widget
A floating dashboard embedded in the partner's product, giving every student 24/7 access to their progress and credentials.
Two trees, one source of truth
AMS models education as two hierarchies — what's on offer, and who's learning it. Everything the platform knows lives where the two meet.
Nothing counts until it passes the gate above it
A resource only counts once it's verified with an assigned workload. A course only verifies when it has the required faculty, assignments, a summative assessment, and at least two peer-reviewed publications. A degree only verifies once its courses do. And a learner's record is built from verifiable events, never self-reported milestones — identity is checked at admission, every piece of learning is attributed to that verified person, and graduation is approved by the university, not the partner.
How AMS knows everything
Three things give AMS a complete, queryable picture of the platform.
The activity log
Every meaningful change is an event, with a before-and-after snapshot and a reason. Around 150 kinds of events — enrollments, payments, exams, compliance gained or lost — plus a learning stream that carries workload, grade, and contact time. That is the audit trail.
Actor-based capture
Because students sign in before anything is recorded, every learning event is tied to a real, verified person. Submissions that show up without that evidence get flagged, rate-limited, and held for review.
Workload and credit accounting
Progress is simple math: time learned ÷ time required. Credit is measured the European way — 1 ECTS = 25 hours = 1,500 minutes — and the same numbers drive a student's progress, their transcript, and the degree's accreditation.
Accreditation is the moat
This isn't control for its own sake. Woolf is a real, accredited institution. Degrees carry an accreditation authority — like MFHEA in Malta — and a level on the European Qualifications Framework, from EQF 4 to EQF 8. Every credit traces from a single click on a lesson all the way up to a regulated qualification.
Anyone can build a course catalog in a few weeks. Rebuilding an accredited university — where every credit is backed by attributable, auditable evidence — takes years of regulatory work. That's the difference between a platform that hosts content and an institution that can award accredited degrees at scale.
One spine, three payoffs
For colleges and partners
Keep your brand, your students, and your learning experience. Gain the ability to award genuinely accredited degrees, with Woolf carrying the compliance load.
For students
Every hour of effort is captured, attributed, and turned into portable, verifiable academic credit.
For investors
AMS is a system of record with a regulatory moat. The same data spine powers admissions, exams, credentials, and integrations — so every new capability compounds on infrastructure that is expensive to copy and protected by law.
Frequently Asked Questions
The short version of how AMS works.
What exactly is AMS?
AMS is the Academic Management System — the platform that runs Woolf, an accredited university in Europe. It holds all content, students, progress, and graduation records, and it captures the evidence behind every credit.
How is this different from an LMS?
An LMS hosts content and tracks completion. AMS is an academic institution's system of record. It doesn't take a partner's word that learning happened — it captures the evidence at the moment of learning and reconciles it against the rules of accreditation.
Do students have to leave the partner's product?
No. A partner runs the day-to-day learning experience inside their own product. The Airlock SDK records activity in the background, and the Woolf Widget gives every student access to their Woolf dashboard, progress, and credentials without leaving.
How are credits calculated?
Progress is consumed workload divided by required workload, and credit follows the European standard: 1 ECTS = 25 hours = 1,500 minutes. The same accounting drives a student's degree progress, their transcript, and the degree's accreditation math.
What stops someone from faking learning?
Every learning event is tied to a verified student who signed in before anything was recorded. Submissions that arrive without that evidence are flagged as a compliance risk, rate-limited, and held for pre-approval.
Who awards the degree?
The university does — not the partner. Graduation is a university-approved award, built on a record assembled from verifiable events rather than self-reported milestones.
