03 The Solution

We chose a bunch of WordPress + BodyBoss theme + Learndash LMS plugin.

The BodyBoss theme made it possible to register users for training with the wide capabilities of a personal account, namely:

Member profiles
Social groups
Forum Discussions
Zoom Integration
Member connections
Private messages
Group messaging
Notifications
Network search
Activity Feeds
Albums and media
Reports
Private communities

BuddyBoss integrates perfectly with the LearnDash learning management system, which in turn allows you to create and manage courses from your WordPress dashboard.

LearnDash allows you to create impressive online courses with virtually no limits:

The ability to self-brand the Learning Portal creates a distraction-free environment for learners.
Flexible settings – access to courses, lessons and tests based on a set of prerequisites.
Drag-and-drop course builder – The industry-leading course builder makes it easy to create courses.
Automatic notifications – Sends emails based on the actions students take (or don’t take) during the course.
Advanced Quizzes – eight question types, customizable messages, question store, and more.
Dynamic Content Display – Tutorials are drip-fed, require video viewing, linear and open progression, and more.
Badges and Certificates – Allows you to issue official certifications based on test scores, course completion, or both.
Discussion forums – communication between students to discuss a specific course.
Course Points – Granting points to learners as they complete lessons, allowing learners to discover new content.
Leaderboards – Displays the students with the highest scores on course tests.
Assignments – Allows you to submit assignments before students can move on to the next lesson.

Such solution made it possible to fully cover all the requirements for the system and even surpass them, having a reserve of settings and opportunities for further development of the service.
