Built to the start of term
Determinds designs, builds, and maintains learning platforms for schools and training providers working to the academic calendar, covering course delivery, assessment and moderation, and the institution reporting that sits underneath them. A platform we built carried thousands of IGCSE learners and ten institutions through assessment and reporting during the period when school buildings closed.
01 What shapes each system
Assessment, three audiences, and deadline traffic
Assessment at the center
Determinds gives assessment, moderation, and reporting the most engineering attention, because those are the parts a school is accountable for and the parts that have to reconcile at the end of term.
Three audiences, one system
Learners, teachers, and administrators each need something different from the same data, and Determinds designs for all three, so staff work in one system with nothing maintained by hand.
Built for deadline peaks
Education traffic arrives in bursts concentrated into the minutes before a submission deadline, so Determinds treats capacity as part of the architecture and load-tests for that peak before launch.

03 Licensed platforms
Two platforms for schools and training providers
Education Portal
Education Portal covers course delivery, assessment, moderation, and institution reporting for a school or training provider, on engineering that ran in production before it became a product.
- Ran in production carrying thousands of learners
- Assessment, moderation, and institution reporting included
- Configuration measured in weeks rather than months
Online Courses
Online Courses is a headless course engine for institutions that want to own the experience layer, with delivery separated from presentation.
- Delivery separated from presentation
- Enrollment, progress, and content structure included
- Front end built to your design
The production record
Education Portal carried thousands of learners across ten institutions in production, through assessment and reporting, during the most demanding period the sector has seen. Each deployment configures that same engineering, and the experience behind it is why Determinds can commit to a term date.
04 Frequently asked
Questions institutions ask
Timing, assessment, integration, and the start of term.
Can Determinds deliver before the start of term?
Yes, when the scope supports it, and Determinds commits to a term date once it does, because the start of term is the one date your institution cannot move. For Education Portal, configuration and data migration take weeks rather than months, and the schedule depends mostly on how clean your current learner records are. For a custom build, 8 weeks to a first production release is typical.
What does deploying Education Portal involve?
Deploying Education Portal covers configuring courses, assessment rules, and reporting for your institution, migrating learner records, and onboarding staff, measured in weeks rather than months. An early deployment gets the engineers who wrote the platform as your direct contacts.
Does it handle assessment and moderation, or only content delivery?
Yes, Education Portal handles both, with course delivery alongside assessment, moderation, and institution-level reporting. Determinds designed the assessment side first, because it is what a school is accountable for, so results reconcile cleanly at the end of term and your staff are spared a manual reconciliation exercise.
Will it integrate with the student information system we already run?
Determinds scopes that integration explicitly at the start, because it is often a large share of the project. Our team has built integration layers into core platforms in regulated sectors, including two core banking integrations in production, and applies the same discipline to a student information system or a finance package. Where an integration is not possible, the team designs a clear manual boundary and agrees it with you at scoping.
Do the learner-facing screens work in Arabic?
Yes, in Arabic and English, with right-to-left designed as a first-class layout from the first screen. That matters most in assessment and in the notifications a learner acts on, where clear localization keeps learners on track and support calls to your staff low.
What happens when every learner submits at once?
Determinds designs each education platform for that peak. Education traffic concentrates into the minutes before a deadline, so capacity planning and the behavior of the submission path under load are part of the architecture, and our team load-tests against the peak your institution expects.

Start with the busiest point in your academic calendar
Determinds scopes from the point in the academic calendar where your current system is under the most strain, whether that is enrollment, a submission deadline, or end-of-term reporting.
