  • Bon outil

    Je recommande LifterLMS, c'est une excellente extension pour les cours en ligne. J'ai eu aussi un problème de spams et les conseils pour sécuriser mon extension était claire et rapide.

  • Good but can be better

    Need to improve the reports part and add more features other than only creating a course. It is easy to access when creating a training course but very complicated when the need to link certificates to the course emerges. As well, sorting of courses based on date wise is not working currently.

  • A Flexible, Reliable LMS with Exceptional Support

    We have been using LifterLMS to deliver free amateur radio training through the Halifax & District Amateur Radio Society, and it has been an excellent platform for our needs. The system has allowed us to create structured, accessible online courses for students working towards their amateur radio licences. It is flexible, well-supported, and has given us the tools to present learning material clearly, manage student progress, and build a proper online academy rather than simply publishing static content. Over the past year, more than 550 students have come through our course, which is far beyond what we initially expected. LifterLMS has played a significant part in making that possible. The support from the LifterLMS team has also been outstanding. They have shown a genuine interest in what we are trying to achieve as a volunteer-led society and have been generous, responsive, and encouraging throughout. For any organisation looking to deliver online learning through WordPress, particularly where flexibility and ownership of the learning environment matter, LifterLMS is very easy to recommend.

  • Great Tool. Great support. Affordable

    I ve been trying different lms tools. And this one made perfectly sense. It s ease to use. HAs a lot of smart shortcuts to finalize the job that are lacking in other. Each week live support. Only that is an incredible asset. And the price is but a fraction compared to other tools in the same league Highly recommended Santiago pinto

  • Powerful LMS Without the Price Tag

    After leaving a big, expensive LMS I couldn't justify long-term, LifterLMS was the perfect solution. Setup was straightforward, and it handles everything my learners and I need. Paired with Paid Memberships Pro, it's a genuinely powerful combination. What sets LifterLMS apart isn't just the product — it's the whole ecosystem: responsive support, smart integrations, and a team that is forward-thinking, and clearly partners with the right people. Affordable, feature-rich, and extensible. Easy recommend.
