Moodle, run by people who run it for UK colleges every day
We install, host, integrate and support Moodle for colleges, councils, training providers and businesses. Have it on your own servers under our management, or take eLMS, our hosted Moodle with the plugin stack, AI assistant and support built in. Either way, the same engineers look after it.
Your servers or ours. The same Moodle, the same team.
Most of our college and public-sector customers run Moodle on their own site and have us manage it. Training providers and businesses usually take eLMS, our hosted version with everything included. Both run on GL Server, our application platform, so either way you get the same automated updates, backups and monitoring.

The world's most used learning platform, without the admin burden
Moodle is open source, used by hundreds of millions of learners, and flexible enough for a college curriculum, statutory compliance training or a paid course catalogue. We make sure yours is fast, secure and actually used.
Teach, learn and manage
Enrolments, learning plans, grading and feedback in one place, for classroom, blended and fully online delivery.
Learn from anywhere
The Moodle app gives learners their courses, activities and assignments on any device, with offline access when the signal drops.
Accessible for all
Built to WCAG standards and extended by our accessibility toolbar, so every learner can use it in the way that suits them.
Assess, certify and track
Quizzes, exams and certificates with flexible question types, automated grading and reporting on who has done what.
Integrate with your systems
Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Shibboleth single sign-on and your HR or MIS system, so enrolments and logins take care of themselves.
Safe, secure and scalable
Multi-factor authentication, encryption, regular penetration testing and hosting that grows with your intake.
Plugins we build to make Moodle better
Developed by our own team from what customers kept asking for. Included with eLMS, and available for Moodle installations we manage on your site.
Need something Moodle does not do? We build and maintain custom plugins and integrations for our customers.
A Moodle partner, not just a host

Fully managed
We install, configure, monitor and maintain, on your hardware or ours. You run the learning, we run the platform.

Continuous development
Our plugin stack and platform improvements roll out to every customer, not just the one who asked.
