NDS Academy stopped stitching courses together by hand

The challenge

Off-the-shelf LMS plugins did not match how NDS runs courses: enrolment, assignments, and certificates all lived in different places.

The approach

We wrote a WordPress plugin for their actual workflow — courses, progress, submissions, and certificates — and fitted it to the theme they already had.

The results

The first intake ran on the new plugin instead of spreadsheets.

• 500+ students enrolled in the first month
• Certificates generated automatically, saving about 40 hours a month
• Instructors can see progress without exporting CSVs
