E-Learning & Membership Platform for Aircraft Maintenance Training

The existing platform had grown organically over years and needed a full refresh without losing what made it valuable to its members: large question banks, structured practice modes and an active community. The business model — mixing monthly and annual subscriptions, organisation site licences, sponsored accounts and a contribution-based reward system — required flexible account and billing logic. At the same time, paid content such as question pools, e-books and interactive courses had to stay firmly protected behind secure authentication.

We rebuilt the platform around three environments: a public WordPress site (homepage, club information, membership and pricing, legal policies) drives sign-ups, while the Nuxt.js Member Portal and the Admin Panel run on a Symfony and MySQL API. The Question Practice engine covers the 17 EASA Part-66 syllabus modules — including post-Brexit EASA and UK-CAA variants — with four modes: Random, Sequential, Stored questions and timed Part-66 Format simulations that lock navigation and reproduce the official question distribution per licence category. A smart rotation cycles through every question in a pool before recycling any, a free trial exposes a limited question subset across Modules 1 to 9, and a results dashboard reports scores per module and subsection over the last 30 days. The Learning Resource Center combines a Tutor Room forum that alerts each module's subject specialist by email, a digital Library rendering in-house Study Notes and external books as HTML5 flipbooks, and iSpring-powered eLearner courses. A gamified credit system crowd-sources quality: submitting a question, reporting an error or adding a reference URL earns one credit, an essay earns four, and ten credits unlock a free module for one month — awarded automatically on admin approval via the Brevo API. Security includes two-factor authentication, a single-device session lock, and tokenized direct-login links with IP whitelisting so airlines and universities holding site licences can sign their users in from their own networks, with sponsor dashboards to follow their students' results. On the admin side, TTS staff monitor expiring subscriptions and live users, edit the syllabus and question bank with bulk CSV imports, upload iSpring flipbook ZIPs, moderate the forum, review the credit approval queue and configure packages, promotions and ten transactional email templates.
