Easy to set up and stable to use

I have tried other LMS and was frustrated with the difficulty to set things up. I discovered Academy LMS and it’s exactly what I was looking for, lightweight and very customisable. There is an addon for the Elementor builder that turns a website into a dedicated training website but I only needed to add a training facility to an existing website for logged in users and the free version has been suitable to achieve this.

If you do not use log in software, Academy LMS has the facility to handle registrations but I found it easier to disable this feature and let my existing software handle registrations (Ultimate Member) which is working fine, no conflicts. There are many customisations possible in customizer, but I prefer my own CSS which has worked well as almost everything can be targeted.

Support are very helpful and reply very quickly. With the framework in place, for me the only thing I need is more features. For example, when a student clicks the ‘complete course’ button there is no way to know if they have actually viewed the course material. The Academy LMS team tell me they plan to improve this for a future update.

The TinyMCE editor is very basic and there is no way to add ‘inline’ images currently. You add an image as an attachment or publish it on your site and then copy and paste it from the screen into your editor. Images are possible but it’s a crude way to do it and a training course depends on plenty of images. Again, the Academy LMS team are aware of this limitation and will be implementing a better editor in due course.

So this is my review, I am excited to find a product where the priority has been for a stable design. Features can come with update and it’s good to know the Academy LMS team is working hard to improve the functionality. Thanks to the Academy LMS team, you guys have made a superb product.
