Acadets Learning Platform

Overview

Acadets is an online learning platform where learners browse course categories, view instructor profiles and detailed course pages, add courses to a cart and check out.

Learners can pay online or enrol through WhatsApp support agents. Behind the site, a Laravel admin panel manages users, courses, instructors, orders, reviews and content, with every action running through AJAX.

The challenge

Many learners in the region prefer to enrol by talking to someone on WhatsApp rather than paying online. The platform had to support both paths, keep all enrolments in one place, and let a small team load large amounts of content quickly.

My role

I designed and built the platform: the learner-facing site, the checkout and enrolment flows, and the full admin panel.

Technical challenges

• Two enrolment paths. Online checkout and WhatsApp-assisted enrolment both had to end in the same orders and enrolments.
• Bulk data. Courses, reviews and WhatsApp clients can be imported from Excel files, so validation had to be strict.
• Rich course pages. Each course shows modules, lessons, requirements, instructor information and reviews.
• Fast administration. Modal-based, AJAX-driven screens with filtering and export on every major module.

Outcomes

Learners can find and buy courses online or through WhatsApp, and the team manages every enrolment, course and review from one admin panel, with bulk imports and PDF and Excel exports.

Lessons learned

• Meet users where they are: a WhatsApp option can matter as much as online payment.
• Bulk import tools need clear validation and error reports to be trusted.
• One orders model for every channel keeps reporting simple.
