Training Practitioners Connect App Development

Job ID: 38733605

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

Project Title: Development of a Mobile App Connecting Training Practitioners with Service Providers

Project Overview:

We are seeking an experienced full-stack developer or development team to create a mobile app that connects Training Practitioners (TPs) with Training Service Providers (TSPs). This app will allow TPs to view and apply for training sessions, manage accepted sessions, communicate with TSPs, and receive payments, while TSPs can post training opportunities, review applications, and manage interactions with TPs.

Objective:

To develop a fully functional MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that we can launch in the market for initial testing and feedback. The MVP should have all essential functionalities, with a user-friendly interface, secure backend, and real-time communication features.

Key Features and Requirements:

1. User Authentication and Profile Management

Secure login and registration using JWT-based authentication.

Profile creation and management for both TPs and TSPs, including profile picture uploads, personal information, skills (for TPs), and business information (for TSPs).

2. Training Session Listings and Management

TSPs can create, edit, and manage training session postings, specifying details such as title, description, date, duration, and payment.

TPs can browse and filter available training sessions, apply to sessions, and receive notifications of application status updates.

3. Session Tracking and Availability Management

TPs can track accepted sessions, update their availability, and view upcoming sessions in a calendar view.

4. In-App Messaging

Real-time messaging between TPs and TSPs for communication about sessions.

Notifications for new messages or updates, leveraging Socket.IO or a similar WebSocket protocol for real-time communication.

5. Payment Processing and Invoicing

Integration with Stripe or a similar payment gateway to facilitate payments from TSPs to TPs for completed training sessions.

Automated generation of invoices for completed sessions.

6. Notifications

Push notifications for session updates, application status changes, and messages.

Technology Stack:

Frontend: React Native (for cross-platform iOS and Android compatibility).

Backend: Node.js with Express.js for API development.

Database: MongoDB with Mongoose for schema-based data modeling.

Real-time Communication: Socket.IO for messaging features.

Payment Gateway: Stripe or a similar payment service for secure transactions.

Push Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for push notifications.


Project Deliverables:

1. Functional MVP: A stable, fully functional mobile app with all key features listed above, ready for launch and testing.

2. Source Code and Documentation: Complete source code with clean, modular codebase and documentation.

3. Testing: Basic unit and integration testing, ensuring the app is reliable, responsive, and free of critical bugs.


4. Deployment: Assistance with app deployment to both iOS and Android app stores, ensuring the app meets all store requirements.

Timeline:

We aim to complete the MVP within 2-3 months. Please provide a realistic project timeline and a breakdown of how you would structure the work.

Budget:

Please submit a detailed quote, including:

Cost for each phase or milestone.

Any expected additional expenses (e.g., third-party API costs).


Additional Notes:

Preference for developers with experience in Agile methodologies, as we anticipate iterative development with regular feedback loops.

Regular communication and progress updates via email or preferred communication channels.

Familiarity with project management tools like Trello or Jira for task tracking.


How to Apply:

Please provide:

1. A detailed quote and estimated timeline.
2. Portfolio or examples of past work, especially with mobile app development and real-time communication features.
