Case Study: East Kent Colleges Group streamlines student applications and remote working with PDMS

East Kent Colleges Group streamlines applications for 12,000 students with PDMS

East Kent Colleges Group, a group of six community-based colleges, faced a challenge managing a surge in college applications and the need to pivot to remote working during the pandemic. They partnered with PDMS for web design and development services to streamline their application process and create a separate student portal.

PDMS implemented a new online applications portal through a series of development sprints. The solution allowed students to self-manage their applications and interviews, which significantly reduced the administrative burden on staff. While direct year-over-year comparisons were difficult due to the pandemic, application numbers increased and the portal received positive feedback for making the process smoother and supporting remote work.
