Your learners, your data

LearnDash runs on your WordPress site, so course content, learner records, and revenue stay with you, on whatever host you use.

Keep learners engaged

Certificates, achievements, and notifications reward progress. Ratings and reviews show new learners what to expect.

Priced by site, not by student

Your plan depends on how many sites you run, not how many people learn on them.
