Codeeo offers e-learning course selling website development Manchester training providers, colleges, creative academies and independent tutors use to enrol learners and take payment online. A Greater Manchester provider rarely has one kind of customer: some learners pay themselves, some are paid for by an employer, and some study on a funded place. We build one catalogue and one enrolment flow that routes each learner correctly, takes the right payment or none, and opens course access once the paperwork is complete.
We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and hold a 4.7 rating from 23 Google reviews. The team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. We have no Manchester office, so discovery and reviews with Manchester clients happen by video call.

What the site handles
The usual online course template assumes one buyer who pays by card. That fits a few Manchester providers, but most mix paying learners with employer-sponsored places and courses funded through public programmes, and they run intakes around the academic year with evening and weekend groups for people in work. A learner might start on a free taster, move to a paid certificate and then be sponsored by an employer for a higher course. The site has to remember all of that and make each step simple. The modules below are the ones we most often build for providers in the city region. We start with the enrolment routes that bring in most of your learners and add the rest in later releases if they are not needed at launch.
A few short questions at the start of enrolment decide the route: pay now, employer pays, or apply for a funded place. Each route shows its own price, its own paperwork and its own confirmation email, so a self-funding learner never wades through funding forms and a funded learner never sees a card form.
Each learner sees only the steps that apply to them.
Where a course is funded through the Greater Manchester Combined Authority's Adult Skills Fund or a Skills Bootcamp contract, the site collects the residency, employment and prior qualification details your funding rules require, stores evidence securely and holds the place until an adviser confirms eligibility.
Fewer incomplete applications reaching your enrolment team.
Employers sponsor staff on a course, or pay their share where a bootcamp asks larger employers to co-fund. The employer receives a link, confirms the place, pays by card or invoice, and later sees attendance and completion for their own staff only.
Employer contributions are collected without chasing.
September, January and spring intakes, evening and Saturday groups, and rolling online starts all sit in one calendar. Each group has a seat limit, a venue or online link and a closing date, and full groups open a waiting list automatically. Your timetabling team edits all of this from one screen, and changes appear on the public course page straight away.
Intake planning and the public website always agree.
E-learning course payment integration Manchester learners can use easily: card with 3D Secure for Strong Customer Authentication, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and spread payments for longer courses once your adviser has confirmed the plan sits outside regulated credit. Payments and refunds post to your finance system automatically.
Finance reconciles self-funded fees without retyping.
Many learners first find a course on an older phone with limited data. Course pages load quickly, images are compressed, and the enrolment form saves progress so a learner can stop on the bus and finish later at home without starting again.
More people complete enrolment on the device they actually have.
Summary pages, enrolment help and key terms can be published in the languages spoken by your learners alongside English, edited by your own staff. Legal terms and contracts stay in English unless your adviser approves a translated version.
Learners understand what they are signing up for.
Creative and media academies around Salford's MediaCityUK and the Northern Quarter often ask applicants for a showreel or portfolio before offering a paid place. The site collects links and files, lets tutors score applications, and sends a payment link only to accepted applicants.
Places are paid for by the applicants you chose.
Completing one course issues a certificate with a public verification code and triggers an offer for the following level, routed through the right payer type. A learner who started funded can be shown the self-funded or employer-sponsored option for what comes next.
Learners progress to further study instead of drifting away.
Forms, checkout and the learner area are built to WCAG 2.2 AA, with plain language, clear error messages and support for screen readers and keyboard use. Adult learners with disabilities can enrol without help, and your Equality Act duties are supported by a documented test record.
Nobody is turned away by the website itself.
Who this is for
Greater Manchester has a broad base of course providers: further education colleges, independent training companies, bootcamp suppliers working to public contracts, university short course teams and creative academies tied to the media and digital sector. Each has a different mix of payers and paperwork, and each has learners who will give up if the website is confusing. These four starting points cover most of the enquiries we receive from the city region, from Salford Quays to Stockport and Bolton.
You deliver funded adult courses alongside paid professional certificates and employer contracts. Today that may mean a paper form for one, a card link for another and an email chain for the third. We bring them into one enrolment site, keep the funding evidence apart from marketing data, and give your team a single list of who has enrolled and how they are paying. Reports for each funding route can be exported for your own audits without rebuilding them by hand every term.
Every payer type handled in one place.
Bootcamps mix eligibility checks, employer co-funding and fixed cohorts with interviews at the end. The site handles the application, employer commitment and payment where an employer contributes, and keeps cohort start dates and seat counts accurate. Contract and funding rules remain with your commissioner; we build the website to collect what those rules ask for. When a cohort is nearly full, the site can close new applications automatically and point late applicants to the next start date.
Applications arrive complete and ready for an eligibility check.
Short courses in production, animation, games or digital marketing sell to career changers and freelancers who compare several providers before paying. We build portfolio-based admissions where needed, clear pricing that includes every mandatory fee, and alumni pages that show the course outline and skills taught without inventing outcomes. Short taster sessions can be sold or given away as a first step, then followed by an offer for the full paid course.
Admissions and payment follow your selection process.
Departments that sell CPD, summer schools or evening classes outside the main admissions system need a lighter store with invoices for employers and simple card payment for individuals. We connect it to your finance and student records where permitted, and keep the branding consistent with the parent institution. Course teams publish their own dates and prices within limits set by central finance, so updates do not queue behind the main web team.
Runs alongside, not inside, the main admissions system.
How we work together
Most providers choose a fixed scope build timed to go live before a major intake. Cost depends on how many payer types and funding routes you run, the volume of courses and intakes, the integrations with finance and learner records, any migration of past learners and orders, and translation of course information. After launch, a monthly retainer covers new intakes, funding rule changes and improvements found from enrolment data. Larger providers sometimes keep a dedicated developer for ongoing work. In every case the plan names who signs off each stage on your side, which matters when enrolment, finance and funding compliance sit in different teams and each has its own deadlines around intake dates.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
For e-learning online course platform development Manchester providers can manage in house, we usually choose WordPress with WooCommerce or a Laravel application, Stripe or a similar UK payment provider, and connections to your LMS, CRM and finance software. The stack is chosen in discovery around the skills of the staff who will update courses and intakes after we hand over.

Yes, through separate enrolment routes on one site.
Each course can offer one or more routes: self-funded, employer-funded or funded through a public programme. The site asks a few questions at the start, shows the route that applies, and only takes a card payment when the learner is actually paying. Funded applications go to your team for an eligibility check before a place is confirmed. Everything ends in one enrolment list, so your staff no longer combine spreadsheets from several systems.
