What is an LMS?

LMS is short for Learning Management System. It’s a piece of online software that emerged directly when e-learning training courses were born. The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s and since then it has become a super useful tool to train, track and report employees across all sectors.

Purpose of an LMS

An LMS delivers and manages all types of content, including videos, courses, workshops, and documents. Expert LMS has the tools for you to create your own training courses with ease. You can be up and running in minutes (explore more of our features here).

LMS is versatile. They can be used in Schools, Colleges, Universities, Businesses, and government sectors.

Save Time and Money with an LMS

An LMS allows you and your users to log on 24/7 and anywhere in the world.

Once your users have been created the automation then kicks in. The system will send your learners an email to get started.

By logging in and completing your training in a few hours, it saves the extra hours (and sometimes days) that you would normally spend in a classroom or even traveling to and from the event.
