“Overall, LearnDash served its purpose well for our training programs — it’s affordable, reliable for smaller deployments, and easy to navigate for learners and admins.”

Director of Marketing

“The course builder is simple, and I love how customizable it is with features like quizzes, drip content, and certificates.”

Marketing manager

Cons

“It went from having an excellent relationship through the years before their recapitalization to a poor one, in which they made false claims to essentially not following through with their promises.”
IH

Ira H.

President

“The lack of this feature allows a single subscriber to share their login and that means less revenues for the school.”
LR

Leonard R.

VP Operations

“Subsequent to arguing about this and refusing to help several times, they finally offered their assistance to do the migration themselves, but they did not complete the job and stated they did. ”
IH

Ira H.

President

Cons

“Based on our current experience, we cannot recommend LearnDash to businesses that rely on their LMS for commercial operations.”
