A US PMP training brand on WooCommerce. 17,000+ reviews carried across.
How Velociteach, the Andy Crowe-founded PMP exam prep and project management training brand on WooCommerce, retired a custom in-house reviews build and runs Product Reviews and Star Rating across a 100+ course catalog.
Velociteach is the US PMP exam prep and project management training brand founded by Andy Crowe in 2002, with the InSite course store on WooCommerce at courses.velociteach.com. The catalog covers 100+ PMP, Agile and PDU courses in USD, with 17,000+ verified reviews now living on WiserReview behind it.
17,000+ reviews stuck inside a custom in-house build, across a 100+ course catalog on WooCommerce.
Velociteach had wired its own reviews logic into WooCommerce. It collected ratings on the PDP, but every fix and every new course launch came back to the team. That is around 170 reviews per course on the catalog, an unusually deep review pool for a training brand, all sitting inside a homegrown module.
One platform that absorbs the in-house build, drops onto WooCommerce in a day, and puts stars on Google Shopping.
“17,000+ reviews carried across from the in-house build. Two widgets live on WooCommerce. Verified ratings on Google Shopping. Setup done in a day.”
The Velociteach team needed the homegrown reviews module out of the WooCommerce stack. WiserReview dropped onto the InSite course store, imported the 17,000+ existing reviews with ratings and dates intact, and put Product Reviews and Star Rating on every PDP across the 100+ course catalog.
Why Velociteach picked WiserReview
Clean in-house migration at 17,000+ scale
Every review moved across with star ratings, written text and dates intact, each tied to the right course on the catalog.
WooCommerce drop-in on the existing theme
Product Reviews and Star Rating went live on the existing custom Velociteach theme. No rebuild.
Years of PMP feedback, kept on the right course
17,000+ reviews stayed tied to the exact course they were left on. No relinking, no orphaned feedback across the 100+ catalog.
Google Shopping rating feed
Verified product ratings flow into Google Merchant Center, so Velociteach courses carry stars on Google Shopping.
Migration from a custom in-house reviews system
Velociteach was not switching off a named competitor. They had built their own reviews logic inside WooCommerce. WiserReview replaced it and carried the 17,000+ existing reviews across from day one.
The in-house build is retired. 17,000+ reviews kept their course, and verified ratings now show on Google Shopping.
