E-Learning Platform Development – Your Own Academy for Customers and Team

A ready-made LMS is quick to get started if your requirements are standard and per-user license costs are not a concern for you. A custom e-learning platform is worthwhile if you sell courses under your own brand, need special roles or approvals, expect many users or want to connect the learning platform with HR, CRM or store systems. We will tell you openly which route fits your project.

What matters are the number of roles, features such as payment or single sign-on, and the scope of reporting. We usually implement learning platforms with course management, video, quizzes and certificates in the Professional package from €8,000; academies with a store, separate areas for several client companies or HR interfaces are quoted individually as Enterprise projects. We prepare the exact quote after the free initial consultation, once learning goals and user groups are defined.

That depends on the feature scope and on whether course content already exists. We often start with a pilot group and some of the courses and then expand the platform step by step. You receive a realistic schedule after the concept phase.

In most cases, yes. Videos, presentations and documents can be transferred to the new platform, and learning content in SCORM format can be imported. We migrate participant data and previous records after prior review, so that no history is lost.

After a course or quiz is passed, the platform automatically generates a certificate as a PDF with name, course, date and, on request, a unique verification number. For recurring briefings you set validity periods, and the system reminds participants and those responsible in good time about the refresher. Whether a certificate meets a particular formal recognition depends on your industry and the issuer.

Learning progress and test results are personal data, especially for employees. We implement roles so that only authorized people see results, host in the EU and, on request, show reports in aggregated rather than personal form. Whether the works council must be involved, or whether German distance-learning rules apply to paid courses, for example, you should clarify with your legal counsel – this note does not replace legal advice.
