The story

How it played out.

01

Overview

LinguaMax teaches twenty-five languages to 32,000 students annually through online and in-person classes across fifteen physical locations. Support was limited to English, Spanish, and Mandarin during business hours, leaving international inquiries unanswered and enrollment completion rates weak. After deploying Chatref's multilingual chatbot across 12 languages on the website and WhatsApp, LinguaMax now automates 84% of enrollment and support inquiries, lifted enrollments 49%, improved placement accuracy, and saves $59,000 monthly.

02

The Challenge

Prospective students needed guidance in their native language to pick course levels, compare programs, and complete placement tests. Three-language coverage during business hours was not enough for a global student base. Manual placement coordination created multi-day bottlenecks that delayed enrollment starts, and students struggled to schedule classes around work and family without real-time availability. LinguaMax needed a polyglot assistant that could support enrollment in 12 languages, run and score placement tests instantly, show live class availability, and scale during enrollment rushes without hiring multilingual staff.

03

The Solution

LinguaMax selected Chatref after a four-month pilot proved strong multilingual support and placement-testing automation. The chatbot communicates fluently in 12 languages, integrates with their student management system, and administers placement tests with instant scoring. Language instructors and enrollment staff uploaded course descriptions, placement materials, schedules, and policies in multiple languages. Within seven weeks the bot launched on the website and WhatsApp, helping prospective students in their native language, running placement tests, showing class availability, and completing enrollments while routing complex cases to human advisors.

04

Benefit 1: Enrollment Support in 12 Languages

Chatref helps students enroll in their native language, explaining course levels, schedules, and pricing clearly. Multilingual support increased international enrollments 63% and improved enrollment completion rates 52%. Students appreciate personalized guidance in the language they're most comfortable with, even when they are learning a different one.

05

Benefit 2: Automated Placement Testing

The chatbot administers placement tests conversationally, scores them instantly, and recommends the right class level. Testing time dropped from multi-day scheduling delays to immediate completion, removing enrollment friction. Placement accuracy improved 37% thanks to consistent scoring, so students start in better-matched classes with higher satisfaction and completion rates.

06

Benefit 3: Real-Time Availability and Booking

Students see class schedules and availability instantly, booking spots that fit their lives without phone tag. The bot handles 84% of enrollment inquiries with no human help, and class utilization increased 44% as scheduling became frictionless. Student satisfaction rose to 92%, up from 76%.

07

Enrollments grew 49%, driven by multilingual support and placement-testing automation. International enrollments jumped 63%. Automating support in 12 languages saves $59,000 monthly, paying for Chatref in roughly six weeks. Student satisfaction climbed to 92% and completion rates improved thanks to better placement.
