The City and Guilds of London Institute, established in 1878, is a globally recognized leader in technical education and skills development. Its mission remains to help individuals, organizations, and economies develop their talents for sustained growth. City & Guilds provides qualifications and apprenticeships valued by employers worldwide.
City & Guilds faced a growing need to modernize its evaluation and grading processes. Previously, assessments only provided a Pass/Fail outcome and performance reports were limited to unit skill levels. However, market and policy changes demanded a more advanced grading system capable of calculating and awarding grades at qualification and higher levels to align with evolving industry standards and future requirements.
- PearlArc designed and developed a robust Grading Engine system to address the challenges and operationalize advanced grading capabilities.
- The system calculates grades and scores from raw data in a flexible manner, supporting both current and future product catalogs.
- Leveraged MS Technologies to build a scalable, secure system, including:
- Microservices architecture
- ASP.Net MVC, C#, AngularJS, CSS 3.0, and HTML 5.0
- Entity Framework 6.0 with MS Azure SQL Server backend
- Web Service Architecture to ensure seamless integration and scalability.
Artificial Intelligence refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. It involves the creation of algorithms and models that enable machines to learn, reason, perceive.
