ESAT, the unified system of current requirements for WorldSkills Russia
Project completed, 2018–2020
A reference website: current requirements for every competency, addresses of demonstration exam centres and the people in charge of each area. The first version, with an admin panel and tender documentation, launched in summer 2018.
Client and task
WorldSkills Russia sets the current competency requirements for graduates of vocational education programmes. Requirements, regulations, addresses of demonstration exam centres and the people in charge of each area had to sit in one place and be easy to find. The project went through a tender: official IT product documentation had to be delivered with the website, on a tight deadline.
What we built
Competency blocks
Current requirements for every WorldSkills competency.
Colleges and experts see the same version of the requirements in force.
Search across materials
The search bar on the home page searches all requirements and documents.
Find the right material by a word, without browsing sections.
List of exam centres
Addresses of demonstration exam centres.
Clear where to go for the exam.
Competency managers
Who is in charge of each area.
Clear whom to ask about a competency.
Regulations and requirements archive
Documents in force and past editions of the requirements.
Old editions are kept but never confused with current ones.
Q&A
An FAQ section and an “Ask a question” button for specialists.
Common questions are answered without back-and-forth emails.
Admin panel
The WorldSkills team maintains requirements, documents, centre lists and contacts on its own.
Content updates don't wait for developers.
Tender documentation
The official IT product documentation the tender required.
The client got the product with the full set of documents.
How it works
The public Vue.js website takes its data from a Go API. Requirements and documents are stored in PostgreSQL with full-text search on top. WorldSkills editors work in a separate admin panel and sign in through an OAuth 2.0 authorisation service.
