Needing to build a verification site for course credentials. Simply put when a student receives a certificate it will have a personal ID number associated to them specifically. This will give the employer the ability to look them up to verify they have successfully completed the course. Never did a build like this before and not really sure where to start or if it’s even possible with WordPress (most likely it is).
ACF is what you’re after. It will allow you create a custom post type for “students” and populate it with the necessary custom fields, like their ID number. You’ll also need a plugin to allow the ID number to be searchable, like SearchWP.
