Learndash Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

Learndash has simple to use UI, which makes the course creation process way simpler. And, there are Quizzes & Certificates; Quizzes help in making things more Interactive. Certificates help in removing the need of manually creating & sending Certificates.

It's used on top of Wordpress, which means you are having it on a Hosting Server with your Wordpress Install.

We used LearnDash for creating Online Training Courses, LearnDash has simple to use UI, which makes Course Creation easy, and when you need to explain How-Tos to the team.

Easy to use, but also very powerful features if you want to get stuck in.

To get really good customisation for appearance, you might need to purchase a 3rd party plugin

Online courses for onboarding new team members.

LearnDash is easy for a beginner to get their courses up and running quickly and easily. It integrates with Wordpress, which is really nice for bloggers and companies already using the platform.

The analytics for course participants is lacking, in my opinion. It can be hard when you're trying to create a course that requires certain levels of participation for credit because it takes more time than necessary to pull and find data.

Providing self-paced online courses for our customer. This has been helpful because it offers a hands-off, digital option of the courses and lowers our overhead.

I have tried online courses that cost hundreds of dollars, but I have never been able to follow through on them. This is because I found them difficult to put together, but more importantly, they were not tailored to my audience. With Learndash, I can create my own courses, sell them to my audience, and make money. To make things even better, the software is affordable, easy to use, and has a great support team.

No dislikes, I completely love this wonderful platform.

I teach a lot of one-off classes at the university. I realized that I could share my knowledge online, too. So I created an online course using this tool. Now I'm able to share my knowledge with the world!

Out-of-the box this ships with more features than any other similar system, specifically advanced quiz types with question types for most situations; certificates, automatic grading. Reporting can be enhanced via their compatible ProPanel plug-in. Support response within 24 hours and then happy to respond when requesting status updates for bug fixes; friendly support team.

Group Leaders do not have user role management capabilities and group sorting, as well as a few other restrictions. Has to be achieved via User Role Editor plug-in which in turn has to be managed with Adminimize to restrict access to the CMS (using with WordPress). No approx. ETA's on bug fixes. Unable to allocate Groups at WordPress user registration level. Feels like a few too many steps between selecting a course and beginning the associated quiz.

Transforms a system like WordPress into a learning management gateway, handled by the plug-in. Enhances a content management website, adding value to an already impressive content management system. The combination of systems is practically seamless.

The organization system of LearnDash (course, lesson, topic) is pretty straightforward and easy to learn. For most people looking to create an online course, this is a great option.

It has some quirks and bugs, and once you've made a few dozen courses, the static organization structure starts to feel a little cookie-cutter and repetitive. It would be nice to have more customizability.

A big part of our business is producing online courses... LearnDash makes it easy and streamlined to take our course videos and build a functional online course.

LearnDash has a great library of free add-ons to extend functionality and integrate with other WordPress plugins of use to course providers, such as GrassBlade and BadgeOS. New add-ons are added regularly, and it's always exciting to see what a new update will bring.

LearnDash could do with some improvements in terms of how course content is organized. The current setup is great when working within a course, as all associated content is laid out in the sidebar and easily accessible there. However, outside of a course there isn't much of a folder system.

I am using LearnDash to facilitate language learning courses. LearnDash has allowed me to organize courses, lessons, and topics in a way that is user-friendly for my students and visually appealing. It also has great options for tracking user data. Add-ons have made it easy to work with other useful WordPress plugins.

Great use for online courses and flow of content.

Support needs to be better, we have a lot of systems running at the same time and they blame another system for issues all the time when in reality it's LearnDash. It's like they don't want to help us sometimes.

This allows for easy tracking of clients through our online learning portal.

Integration with Wordpress is solid, this is the best learning management system available for the platform. Many of the components that have been developed are right up there with the industry leading platforms.

Some vital features are still missing for course and user management, leading to large amounts of unnecessary time for user management. User experience is somewhat clunky, with multiple, repetitive clicks that detract from the experience. "Click to Mark Complete" is a great example - why doesn't the course know that it's complete?!

Providing training online to employees.

I like the user ability and cleanliness of the look. It's easy to add courses, add questions, check exam results with propane.

I'm not a big fan of how it integrates with our Imember360 platform for content protection and our Infusionsoft platform. Once I update one I have to update the others and it always seems like one misaligns.

We have made it easier for our clients to move through the courses, having one lesson open at a time seems to be helpful since we were getting caught with many clients bouncing around too much and not finishing their courses.

You pay once for the software and you have the opportunity to use is for unlimited courses. It integrates will with Wordpress, which is a great plus.

You have to host this on Wordpress, so if you're not comfortable using wordpress it will be a challenge. It can be a bit complicated to know how to put things in the right order, but if you take time to learn it, it becomes easy. Because it is self hosted, it is essential that you keep your website very secure.

Making money by selling your knowledge. I have been able to sell online courses and make additional income

Lots of ways to do common things like couponing.

Some things like course bundling and shopping carts are unnecessarily complex; and when integrated into CMSs, it is hard to track class enrollments with an external tool like GTM because everything is hidden in LD classes and course codes.

We are using it to manage a clients online course enrollment.

At the moment NOTHING. There is nothing logical about what has to be done and the videos are no help

There is no logical sequence to putting up the course and the training videos are TERRIBLE

I have realized no benefits

Learndash is like the Boeing 737 Max, it gives a good idea of how flying feels. Yet boarding and crossing fingers hoping nothing will ever happen is probably not such a relaxed way of traveling. The best thing is that one knows exactly what to look for in other airplanes.

Again, like the Boeing 737 Max, it is probably a good product when it is working properly. In our case re-login for students was impossible. Students/customers could easily purchase the product and register. Yet once logged out and trying to log in the whole process needed to be repeated all over again, sometimes including payment (...)

The support team is trying for 2 weeks (!!!) to get the login/logout issue fixed and leaving us in the meantime completely in the dark. Every 2/3 days we have to for a status report and all we get is a thank you for our patience. Needless to say that the only benefit we experience that this issue did happen BEFORE we brought our course on the market. Any entrepreneur or business owner can imagine what this would do for a company AFTER bringing on the market.

has a lot of features but you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it.

Not user friendly. you have to be familiar with wordpress and web master to manage it. A regular user can't use this system at all.
