Objectives

The BIIAB provide more than 270 licenced qualifications to the hospitality industry and wanted to adapt to provide modern digital marketing tools to their licensees, training organisations, to meet the changing needs of their sector.

For licensed organisations, they wanted to provide a management system where they could create and manage courses to be promoted through their website. As wells as process and manage bookings on courses, taken through their website. For learners (users of the website) they wanted people to be able to perform simple location based searches and online booking of places. The experience needed to be clear and intuitive with the implementation of a new responsive website where visitors could search for qualifications and courses, order certificates and purchase handbooks and training guides. Additionally they needed a web application for BIIAB staff to use for course management, reporting and financial processing.

Integration

At the heart of the operation is a web application built using symfony frameworks. This Course Management application is integrated with ORCS Parnassus – BIIAB’s course qualification and certification system.
