<h3>The best way to protect and sell members-only courses with recurring subscriptions for WordPress.</h3>
<p>This is a multi-purpose plugin that offers native course functionality for Paid Memberships Pro. With built-in features, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create unlimited private courses and lessons</li>
<li>Protect access to course content by membership level</li>
<li>Accept free, one-time payment, or recurring subscriptions for course enrollment</li>
<li>Track lesson completion by user</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are already using a course platform or require more functionality, use the integrated modules for LearnDash, LifterLMS, Sensei LMS, and TutorLMS. These are the four most popular WordPress learning management systems—and they all integrate with Paid Memberships Pro through this free plugin.</p>
<p>Courses for Membership automatically protects, enrolls, and unenrolls members from protected courses based on their active membership level or subscription.</p>
<h3>Courses and Lessons with PMPro</h3>
<p>The default courses module organizes your course content, protects access by membership level, and tracks lesson completion. You can create an unlimited number of courses and lessons, organize them by your course categories, protect lesson content by membership level, and allow members to track lesson completion.</p>

MasterStudy LMS WordPress Plugin – for Online Courses and Education

I've installed the free version and also the pro but have not yet had a chance to see how it works under pressure. Still, I think the features are well worth it because apart from developing your own courses within the system, you can import SCORM cartridges to get going. Also, the devs respond to inquiries quite promptly. Hopefully they will solve PHP 8 compatibility issues soon.

Looks good and has all the right features


Quite nice done course creator. But student account is terrible in terms of accessibility. Please put aside your mouse and try to accomplish anything just with the keyboard. Try the same with NVDA on. Lots of links without labels. Your main menu stays open when focus leaves it.Quizzes are better, but please start using <fieldset><legend> for questions instead of heading tag. There is also a question type for matching, which is mouse dependent only, with no keyboard accessibility whatsoever. You are losing about 15% of course attendees (15% less potential money) due to inaccessible UI.


Accessibility much better than other LMS, but still..


I had a few issues when I started using the plugin (mainly because I didn't RTM!) and Mike sorted these out very quickly. A great plugin that does what it says. We have already created several courses and we are developing a whole lot more. The lessons are super easy to put together, and the quizzes the same. I tried every course builder I could get my hands on before deciding to go with MasterStudy, and I'm very happy with my choice.


Great plugin, really responsive support.


This is the best LMS plugin on the market. It has everything we need, and the support team is very helpful!
