Turning in-person laser training into a hybrid online course platform.
Knue Laser needed to convert a manual-based, in-person laser training curriculum into a structured online learning platform students could complete before arriving for hands-on instruction.
Classroom time was being spent on material students could prepare for online.
The client was teaching from a printed manual while demand for training was increasing. Students were beginning to travel in for hands-on instruction, so the business needed a way to move the classroom and theory portion online without making the system hard for a non-technical owner to manage.
Primary goals
Convert the in-person curriculum into modules, lessons, topics, and quizzes.
Let students complete theory work before hands-on training.
Support registration, login, payment, enrollment, and progress tracking.
Give instructors and admins visibility into student completion.
Keep the platform manageable inside WordPress.
What was built
A WordPress and LearnDash course platform for hybrid training.
Student access
Registration, login, course dashboard, enrollment, and automatic course access after successful payment.
Learning structure
Course modules, lessons, topics, quizzes, progress tracking, and completion tracking.
Payment flow
Stripe payment integration tied into the course enrollment path, with test-mode validation before live payments.
Built with proven LMS tools instead of a custom learning system from scratch.
LearnDash gave the client a stable LMS foundation for lessons, topics, quizzes, enrollment, progress tracking, and future course expansion. WordPress kept ownership manageable for the business, while Stripe handled online course payment flow.
