Case study · CPD-certified online training
Hair & Beauty Training sells CPD courses to stylists, beauty therapists and salon owners. Chivvy built the whole thing: the catalogue, checkout, student accounts, a lesson player that tracks progress, end-of-course assessments and certificates anyone can check.
Fifteen courses are written. The seven salon business courses are on sale now. The eight hands-on hair and beauty courses are written and being filmed, and their pages take names for a waiting list instead of payment until the video is finished.
Each course is split into sections and lessons. Finishing a lesson is recorded and the course progress rolls up from it. Lessons can carry downloads, such as templates and checklists, kept in private storage and opened only by students on the course.

Tiering by stylist
Illustration. The course outline is the real one; the student’s progress is made up.
Every course opens with a lesson anyone can read before paying, with the full contents beside it, so a buyer can see what the course covers and how it is written.
CPD only counts if the certificate does. Each salon business course ends with an eight-question assessment, marked on the server so a student cannot mark their own work, and completion is checked before a certificate is issued.
Every certificate carries its own code. An employer or an insurer can open the code’s page on hairandbeautytraining.com and see the name, the course, the CPD hours and the date it was earned.

Salon Pricing & Profit
Each course is a single payment through Stripe checkout, with lifetime access. The seven salon business courses are also sold as one bundle.
All-Access is priced at £29 a month or £290 a year for every course. Its checkout is built and waits on its prices being set up in Stripe.
A Teach with us side lets other professionals apply, publish courses and be paid their share through Stripe, so adding an instructor is a new account.
Every table in the database is locked so students, instructors and the owner each see only what belongs to them: their courses, their progress, their sales.
The colours are the owner’s own, taken from the cream and gold of the Escape Hair & Beauty salon, and kept quiet so the courses lead. The name is the phrase people search for. The courses are written as structured content and loaded into the app from it, so a course can be edited, reviewed and re-published like any other document.
