ZADK Culinary Academy, Saudi Arabia
Digitizing Culinary Education: How ZADK Culinary Academy Streamlined Campus Operations with Academia
Overview
Custom automation for a specialist academy
ZADK was uploading data by hand, building timetables manually, and running admissions without knowing where its applicants came from. Academia integrated with the academy’s Moodle LMS, delivered a conflict-aware timetable module, built a custom applicant source tracker, broadened the assessment model, and automated virtual ID cards.
Metrics are based on internal assessment.
