A professional certification institute sells recorded courses through a third-party marketplace that takes a large cut and owns the student relationship. It wants its own platform with live classes, mock tests and certificates. What we would build: - Course catalogue with recorded lessons, notes and protected video streaming - Live classes with attendance and recordings - Mock tests with timers, question banks and performance analytics - Payments, coupons and instalment plans - Automatic certificates with verification links How success is measured: - Course completion rate - Revenue kept compared with marketplace fees - Mock test attempts per enrolled student - Refund requests and support tickets per course ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a custom LMS cost? A custom LMS MVP with courses, quizzes, certificates, payments and admin typically costs USD 20,000–40,000 (about INR 16–32 lakh). Multi-tenant platforms with mobile apps cost USD 40,000–80,000. Customising Moodle costs less. ### Can we import existing SCORM courses? Yes. The LMS plays SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and xAPI packages and records completion and scores, so content made in tools such as Articulate or iSpring works without changes. ### Can videos be protected from downloading? We use secure streaming with signed URLs, encryption or DRM where needed, and watermarks with the learner’s details to discourage sharing. No method is perfect, but these make piracy much harder. ## Related guides - [Education software development company](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/education): Infikey Technologies builds education software: learning management systems (LMS), school and college management systems, online tutoring an... - [Custom software vs off-the-shelf: build or buy?](https://infikeytechnologies.com/compare/custom-software-vs-off-the-shelf): Off-the-shelf software is faster to start and cheaper upfront, and is the right choice when your process is standard, such as accounting, em... - [Multi-tenant SaaS development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/saas/multi-tenant-saas-development): Multi-tenant SaaS development means building one application that serves many customer organisations (tenants) from shared infrastructure, w... - [SaaS billing and subscription system development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/saas/saas-billing-subscription-system): A SaaS billing and subscription system manages plans, trials, upgrades and downgrades, seat and usage-based pricing, invoices, taxes, paymen... - [Software development company for startups](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/startups): Infikey Technologies helps startups build and scale software: MVPs for web and mobile, product design, dedicated engineering teams, AI featu... - [No-code vs custom development: which should you use?](https://infikeytechnologies.com/compare/no-code-vs-custom-development): No-code and low-code tools, such as Bubble, Glide, Airtable or Zapier, let you build apps and automations quickly with little or no programm... - [Fleet management software development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/logistics/fleet-management-software): Fleet management software tracks vehicles in real time and manages trips, fuel, maintenance, tyres, drivers and compliance documents.
