Impact

Stable, modern learner experience across web and mobile

Challenge

The provider was running on an aging LMS with unreliable assessments, poor mobile experience and a brittle certification workflow. Learner NPS was declining and certification revenue was at risk.

Objectives

  • Migrate tens of thousands of learners with zero certification data loss
  • Modern, mobile-first learner experience
  • Reliable certification workflow with clean audit trail
  • Live analytics for course owners

Approach

We migrated content, certifications and learner history in a phased cutover, kept the legacy LMS read-only during transition, and rebuilt the assessment and certification workflows from scratch on Vestval Learn.

Solution

White-labeled deployment of Vestval Learn with native assessments, SCORM/xAPI support, cohort and certification workflows, and analytics for course owners.

Implementation approach

  1. 1

    Certification audit & freeze

    Full audit of issued certifications, immutable export, and freeze of the legacy LMS to read-only mode during migration.

  2. 2

    Content migration in waves

    Content migrated in program waves, each verified against the legacy source before cutover.

  3. 3

    Assessment rebuild

    Assessment engine rebuilt natively in Vestval Learn rather than ported — the legacy assessment was the single biggest source of reliability issues.

  4. 4

    Phased learner cutover

    Cutover by program with white-label theming verified per program, and learner support staffed up during the cutover window.

Technologies used

  • Vestval Learn
  • Native assessment engine
  • SCORM / xAPI bridges
  • Certification issuance workflow
  • Course owner analytics

Outcomes

  • Stable, modern learner experience across web and mobile
  • Reliable certification workflow with clean audit trail
  • Course owners gained live analytics for the first time
  • Successful cutover with zero certification data loss

Lessons learned

  • Zero-certification-loss is a hard bar, never a soft target.
  • Read-only legacy mode during cutover saves the support team.
  • Rebuild brittle subsystems natively; do not port them.
