Project Overview

SOA Engineering offers an online training platform for safety engineers. The platform is divided into four main categories: Tools, Courses, Video, and Case Studies. It provides a seamless video training experience, including resume functionality for users to continue where they left off. Users can also purchase training plans across multiple categories and manage their accounts with credits. Upon completing the training, users take an exam, and certificates are issued based on their performance.

The most challenging part of the project was creating a responsive architecture that worked efficiently across multiple devices, including mobiles, tablets, and laptops. Another aspect of the project was gaining a deep understanding of MVC5, Entity Framework, and Web API.

Challenges

• Responsive Design: Developing a responsive architecture that could adjust to different device resolutions (mobile, tablet, laptop) while maintaining consistent functionality and user experience.
• Complex User Management: Allowing users to manage multiple training categories, track progress, and make payments in a secure and user-friendly environment.
• Plan Purchase and Certification: Providing a smooth flow for users to purchase training plans, track credits, and generate certificates upon successful completion of training programs.

Solution Delivered

• Responsive Architecture: Developed a scalable and responsive architecture that worked flawlessly across devices, ensuring a seamless learning experience for users.
• Training Management: Integrated features for video training with resume functionality, allowing users to continue training from where they last left off. The platform also supported the management of multiple training categories and personalized user accounts.
• Payment and Certification: Integrated BOA Payment Gateway for secure and efficient payment processes, enabling users to purchase training plans and manage their credits. Upon successful completion of exams, the platform automatically generated and issued certificates.
