The project
Future Focus is an institute for further and higher education based in Floriana, Malta, which describes itself as one of the leading private training organisations in the Mediterranean. It offers training for professionals by professionals, with courses for local and international students, internships and Erasmus+ projects. M7Alpha designed and built its website. This case study explains how the site helps students find the right course in a large catalogue.
How do you organise a large course catalogue?
By subject, in the words students use. The Courses page and menu group every programme into clear areas, so a student looking for a care qualification or a health and safety diploma can go straight to it.
| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Caring professions | Learning Support Educator, Early Years Educators, adult health and social care |
| Education and training | Education and training qualifications, a Master of Education in Primary Education |
| Health and safety | Occupational health and safety diplomas, first aid, paediatric first aid, food handling |
| Business and management | Project management, logistics and supply chain, human resources |
| Other subjects | Psychology, information technology, art and design, tourism, health and fitness |
What does each course page tell a student?
Each course has its own page with the learning outcomes and course details a student needs to decide, and the Apply Now button is always one click away, so a student who is ready does not have to go looking.
How does the site help people apply?
An Apply Now button sits in the main menu on every page, and the homepage asks the question students arrive with, Looking for a Course?, with buttons to find a course or apply straight away. Contact details and opening hours are in the footer for anyone who prefers to call or visit the institute in Floriana.
