DESIGN AND EMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE TRAINING SYSTEM CASE STUDY: NOVATECH COMPANY / GOMA

Abstract

The increasing demand for flexible and accessible learning platforms has prompted many organizations to adopt online training systems. NOVATECH, a training company based in Goma, RDC, aims to equip students and professionals with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s competitive job market. However, the company currently lacks a formal online platform, limiting its ability to efficiently manage training materials and reach a broader audience. This project seeks to address these challenges by developing an online training system tailored to the needs of NOVATECH. The proposed system will be built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap for the frontend, and PHP with MySQL for the backend. This system will streamline the management of training resources, enable real-time tracking of learner progress, and provide users with easy access to training materials from anywhere, at any time. The integration of a user-friendly interface will ensure that learners can navigate the platform seamlessly, while administrators can efficiently manage content and monitor learner activities. Through interviews with NOVATECH staff and potential users, this project identified key requirements for the system, including course management, user authentication, and secure data storage. The design phase incorporated these requirements, leading to the development of a scalable and secure platform that meets both current and future training needs. The successful implementation of this system will enhance NOVATECH’s ability to deliver high-quality training, improve learner outcomes, and expand the company’s reach beyond its current geographic limitations. Ultimately, this project demonstrates the critical role of online training systems in modern education and professional development.
