Best wordpress LMS for internal training

General
1

Hi all,

I’ve been looking into an LMS platform for my healthcare business. I need to recreate our new hire training (currently PPTs) and a few other trainings for my new hires so primary use will be internal. Down the road I may be looking to create some sellable courses to the public but not a priority at the moment.

I’ve looked into Thinkific in the past but haven’t felt 100% comfortable with it. Our website is wordpress hosted so I’ve just recently started looking learnpress, lifterlms, etc.

I would like to be able to have a login on my website and send an invite my new hire. I also need to be able to see reporting data such as who has completed their courses, where they are in the process, etc.

There are no good ones. LearnDash is probably the best, but even then it’s finicky and easily messed up by updates.

so your recommendation is to stay away from the wordpress plugins and go with one of the standalone products like thinkific, trainual, etc?

Or TalentLMS, etc. If you have a Wordpress guru on staff who can keep it running, it might work. But if your staff would be taking time away from other work, or you can only hire someone to set it up initially, I’d steer clear.

LearnDash is the classic, but it’s plugin madness. If you want SCORM/xAPI, you need a plugin for your LearnDash plugin.

Thinkific, Trainual, etc don’t usually play super well with external tools and are made for course sellers, so you’re tied to their authoring tool, etc. If you’re looking to sell courses eventually, LearnWorlds is probably your best bet imo since they have

SCORM uploads

We run LifterLMS on GravityKit Academy and it’s been super-easy to use and powerful enough out of the box; we use the free version. I had a question for support and they answered right away.

I highly recommend it.

I have the same question currently. Curious to find out if anybody had good experiences using Thrive Suite? I am wondering if I should start my page using such an integrated suite that also includes marketing funnels. However, I dont find a lot about them except their own advertisement. Happy to hear from you that I should stay away from thrive products in case this spares me the migration later :smiley:
