Code Academy LMS & Career Platform

Running a code academy and a software house together creates a lot of moving parts: students, batches, mentors, teachers, interns, developers and hiring — each needing a different view, and students must never see each other's private data.

Spreadsheets and chat groups don't scale, and heavyweight platforms didn't fit the way we teach: small batches, reviewed work and a real path into the software house.

• One account per person, many roles. Roles such as student, intern, developer, mentor, teacher and HR are granted with dates and scope, so a person's history — from student to staff — stays in one place.
• Student dashboard with progress, grades, quizzes, attendance, portfolio and certificates, combined into a career-readiness score.
• Mentor and teacher portals limited to their own batches and courses: attendance, reviews of assignments, evaluations and messaging.
• Batch and direct messaging designed to keep server and database load low.
• Careers: job listings, applications and an HR review pipeline.
• CSV import that matches existing people instead of duplicating them, plus an audit log of admin actions.
• Verifiable certificates, open to anyone.
• Built with plain PHP 8 and MySQL/MariaDB — fast, simple to host and easy to maintain.

• The academy, the software-house website and hiring now run on one platform with one login per person.
• Students from our earlier verification site were imported without duplicates.
• Mentors and teachers see only what they're responsible for; students see only their own records.
