City & Guilds, established in 1878, is a globally recognized institution that promotes technical education and skills development. In collaboration with the British Council, City & Guilds offers the City & Guilds Certificate in International English, helping people, organizations, and economies enhance their skills for growth.
City & Guilds sought to replace their paper-based IESOL assessment with a cost-effective, efficient online test system. The challenge was to create an alternative solution that provided faster results and improved integration with their vocational education offerings while maintaining quality and affordability.
- Developed a Cloud Data Adapter for seamless integration between City & Guilds and the British Council using Message Queues, Scheduler, and Redis Cache.
- Designed and implemented microservices to integrate with various APIs developed by both organizations.
- Created a cloud-based system that ensured faster test result turnaround, better alignment with vocational education, and a smooth transition from paper to online testing.
