Challenge

Petra Medical College required an intuitive web application that could seamlessly incorporate and manage a rich variety of online course content – from video lectures to interactive exams.

Solution

Baytech Consulting was commissioned to design and develop a bespoke web application to address Petra Medical College's needs. The solution unfolded over 300+ meticulously prepared Figma mockups. This detailed groundwork paved the way for the construction of the project's four foundational components:

1. Administration Portal: This backend interface permits full control and personalization of course content, fostering an adaptable course creation experience for the college's staff.
2. Partner Portal: Created for administrative users to efficiently oversee student registrations and monitor their academic advancement.
3. Student Portal: A thoughtfully designed interface offering easy access to courses and materials, simplifying the journey from learning to certification.
4. Public Site: An outward-facing web platform spotlighting Petra Medical College’s educational offerings, aligned with online convenience and affordability. It features course listings, career prep tools, and a mobile-optimized user interface, streamlining the registration and graduation journey.
   
   
   

Previously, an external outsourcing firm had labored over the project for two years with scant progress. Once Bay Tech Consulting undertook the project, we completed it within 5 months, notably on time and under budget.

Effective Collaboration

The seamless interaction between Petra Medical College and Baytech Consulting, benefiting from Petra's clear vision and preparedness, significantly contributed to the project's triumph.
