Case 04 / Education

A learning and assessment platform for a specialist training institute

Cohorts, coursework and proctored assessment in one place, built so the institute can add a new programme without calling an engineer.

01 / The challenge

Good teaching, held back by the tooling around it.

The institute ran strong programmes on a patchwork of video calls, drive folders and manually graded tests. Every new cohort meant repeating setup by hand, and assessment credibility rested on trust rather than the system.

02 / Our role

We built the platform, and the leverage to run it without us.

We treated the faculty as the primary users: programme setup, content and assessment all had to be theirs to change. We owned the architecture and build, and left them able to launch a programme on their own.

Programme builder

Cohorts, modules and schedules configured by faculty rather than requested from engineering.

Coursework and submissions

Assignments, deadlines and feedback in one flow, with a clear record per learner.

Proctored assessment

Timed assessment with integrity controls proportionate to what the certificate is worth.

Progress reporting

Learner and cohort progress views the institute uses in its own reviews.

03 / The outcome

New programmes launch without an engineering ticket.

The institute runs cohorts, coursework and assessment on one system, and the engagement has moved into growth work on reach and completion.
