Sat For studying abroad

About Sat For studying abroad

Sat Group for Academic and Educational Consulting is a national agency, founded by a group of Saudi youth, that provides academic advisory services worldwide. The company operates key branches in Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom (Newcastle and York).

After developing the Classat website using the Laravel framework and the Sat Edu website using WordPress, the company decided to merge both platforms under a new name: Sat for Studying Abroad.

Purpose of the Platform

The primary goal of the new platform was to simplify the English course application process for students, aiming to become the leading platform for students to apply to language institutes worldwide.

Achievements

The platform became the easiest and most efficient tool in Saudi Arabia for enrolling in English institutes.
It significantly enhanced the company’s efficiency, enabling the generation of over 30 offers within just 5 minutes—a drastic improvement from the previous rate of one offer every 20 to 45 minutes.

My Role

I was fully responsible for creating and developing this platform from scratch, overseeing its growth and evolution over the past four years.

Challenges Faced

One of the most significant challenges during the platform’s development was implementing a robust course filtering system based on prices. This was complex due to several factors:

Dynamic Pricing Structure: Course prices varied depending on the number of weeks reserved, making it challenging to display accurate costs in real-time.
Institute Discounts: Each institute offered different discounts, which needed to be dynamically calculated and combined with course prices.
Complex Filtering Logic: The system had to process multiple variables simultaneously—such as course duration, institute discounts, and promotional offers—while ensuring that users could easily filter and compare courses.

How I Solved It:

Developed a dynamic pricing algorithm that recalculates course fees instantly based on selected weeks.
Integrated discount rules from each institute, ensuring that offers and promotions were accurately reflected in the final price.
Optimized the platform’s search and filtering capabilities, allowing students to easily sort courses by price, duration, and discounts in real time.

This solution not only enhanced the user experience but also positioned the platform as a highly efficient tool for students and academic advisors alike.
