Built for how you actually train

Skills training mixes theory, classroom time and hands-on practice. OpalLMS runs all three and keeps them on one learner record.

Run your entire training operation

OpalLMS manages the complete training operation, not just the online course.

Training delivery

Build complete training programs

Combine online learning, instructor-led training, assessments and practical requirements into structured programs you manage from enrollment through completion.

How programs work
Training operations

Know exactly where every learner stands

Organizations, groups, instructors, enrollment and notifications, with reporting that shows enrollment, progress, completions, assessments and certification status.

How training operations work
Certification and compliance

Stay ahead of every expiry

Certificates, training records and completion tracking, with expiry reminders and a compliance view of who is current, due or lapsed.

How certification works
Commercial training

Run your training business on it

Sell courses, seats and packages, give client companies their own branded space, and report on every sale.

How selling training works

One platform. Every role.

Training organizations are more than an administrator and a student. Each role gets a view built for the work it does.

  • Administrator Manages the training operation. Programs, courses, organizations, staff, sales and reports across the whole platform.
  • Organization administrator Manages their organization and people. Their own learners, groups, seats, branding and reports, and nobody else’s.
  • Instructor Delivers and assesses training. Their classes and courses, attendance, grading queues and practical evaluations.
  • Group leader Oversees assigned learners. Progress, completions and certifications for the people in their groups.
  • Learner Completes training and accesses records. Courses, schedule, grades, certificates and their own training history.

From program to renewal, on one record

Every stage of a person’s training lands on the same record, so nothing is typed twice and nothing gets lost between systems.

Powerful out of the box. Flexible when your organization needs more.

Every training organization has its own programs, processes, terminology and reporting requirements. OpalLMS provides a flexible foundation that can be configured and extended around the way your organization actually delivers training.

Configure it yourself

  • Branding and custom domains
  • Public pages and storefront
  • Certificate designs
  • Which features each organization gets

Extend it when you need to

  • Add-on modules
  • API keys and webhooks
  • Custom work for workflows the platform does not cover yet
