Here’s how we developed an e-learning site for an online and classroom-based training program with an international reach.
Project Overview
Task
Develop an e-learning website for a multinational navigation technology training academy, delivering professional certifications.
Team
1 Project Manager, 1 Front-End Developer, 1 Back-End Developer, 1 UI/UX Designer
Duration
(ongoing)
Result
A multinational elearning platform that supports professional education for both online and offline training programs.
Introduction
Flash Technology offers obstruction and airfield lighting systems with a wide range of applications. As a part of their services, they also provide training for the use and application of their products through their “Flash University”.
In an effort to adapt their aids to navigation training to today’s digital environment, Flash University reached out to LMSNinjas to develop their e-learning site, allowing them to sell and deliver both hands-on and virtual training programs, with virtual certifications.
Challenges
- Building and designing a professional elearning site that supports multiple course types (onsite / online) and different options for multiple locations.
- Creating multiple user roles, both for students and internal management, with different access rights.
- Adding enhanced ecommerce features that support bulk user onboarding and payments processing for employee groups undergoing training together.
- Implementing interactive features into course content to improve the learning experience in pre-recorded courses.
- Awarding customized certificates with unique student and course data, and expiration period, as well as implementing a notification system for certification renewal.
Solution
01
Discovery Phase
Flash Technology’s team worked with our Project Manager to create an elearning site for the operation of their airfield and navigation lighting products. Together they came up with a system to educate students across different locations, partaking in hands-on and online training programs within one single platform.
Flash University’s platform would need to meet a unique set of needs, such as awarding certificates on aviation and marine technologies at a professional level.
Since training programs are provided to groups, as well as individual learners, their LMS also needed to support manual bulk user inputs and group payments.
Having an international reach, Flash University needed a site that was not only well equipped with a variety of LMS features, but that could also adapt to a multinational pool of learners.

Solutions
Learning Management System
We expanded on LearnDash’s default ecommerce capabilities to implement bulk payments, allowing group admins to pay for the training of their employee groups. During the group checkout process, admin user roles can select which employees they are paying for, giving them access to the necessary training program.
Custom Certificates
Flash University’s training programs certify learners on their knowledge for operating their airfield and obstruction lighting products. Certifications are not only required, but must be renewed periodically by those operating these technologies. For this reason, being able to officially validate course completion and keep track of certificate expiration was a key requirement.
Through custom development, our team created certificates that feature key data such as a unique course ID, course completion data and student ID number. Additionally, we set up an email notification system for certificates, alerting students about when their certification renewals are required.
What Our Happy Customer Says
Roger Iván López Díaz
The plugins offered by the company are fantastic and their support team is the best, I have had the opportunity to use LearnDash Certificate Verify and Share and I am very satisfied with the results obtained. I highly recommend them.
Stephy Hogan
We had a custom-built plugin that did what the Multi-question category plugin does, but it was by a developer who wanted to charge us a butt-ton of money any time it broke. They never updated it without us asking/paying.
Carlos Alfredo Dávila
Our firm hired Wooninjas to add several customizations to our LearnDash site. From the first discovery call, we felt confident in their abilities and could sense they had relevant previous experience with learning platforms. They understood our requirements perfectly and finished the job in a very reasonable budget.
Sajah Popham
Zee and the whole team helped me with some customizations to my LearnDash membership site. They consistently communicated clearly, made their deadlines, provided training for me and my team on how to use it, and ultimately did exactly what I needed. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to colleagues!!
