For schools, training programs, and course businesses
Build courses as fast as you can write them.
Centauri LMS pairs a writing-first course editor with everything it takes to run your program: flexible selling, seat managers who run their own groups, spaced-repetition practice, and email that sends itself.
The course editor
A course editor like no other, yet with a familiar feel
We drew inspiration from note-taking apps and how easily you can capture thoughts, ideas, and content. We brought that same flexibility to our course builder, making it easier than ever to build courses, copy and paste content from other sources, and adapt any material to fit your use case.
- Rich blocks: images, galleries, YouTube and Vimeo embeds, tables, toggles, columns and before-and-after image comparisons
- A drag-and-drop outline for sections and lessons, with autosave and undo
- Lessons, quizzes, reflection prompts, video, PDFs, slide decks and SCORM or HTML5 packages in one course
- Duplicate a course to start its next edition
- Preview exactly what learners see before you publish
Learning that sticks
True learning requires reinforcement
We make it easier than ever to keep learning going after a course is completed with Anki-style flashcards that reinforce learning through spaced repetition, plus repeatable assessments. Learners can reinforce what they learn in your course on the go without redoing course content.
- Flashcards that come back just before learners would forget them, on a schedule that adapts to every rating (FSRS)
- Topic review and topic quizzes that pull from every course a learner takes, with "needs review" and "doing well" signals
- A practice hub with cards due today, retention and progress
- Quizzes with multiple-choice, multi-select, true/false and free-response questions, explanations and a pass mark
Study plans
Month-by-month study plans, personal or shared
- Learners build their own plan by dragging courses into months
- Groups can share a plan that each member personalizes and can reset to at any time
- Keep a library of reusable plans, and pick the one new groups start from
For institutions
Institutions run their own groups
Give each institution a seat manager. They invite their people, assign training and track progress themselves, without waiting on your team.
- Invite people one at a time or in bulk, and resend invites with one click
- Activate and deactivate members as people join and leave
- Assign courses with start and end dates
- Follow progress in a training matrix of members and courses, with grades and group analytics
Group seats on your terms
- Sell or give an institution a block of seats with an end date and a set of courses
- Run a time-limited trial for an institution, then convert it to a full group in one step
- Start, lock, resume and renew a group as the contract changes
One login
One place for your website, sales, email and reports
Your team runs the whole program from one admin app, instead of stitching tools together.
Website editor
Build your public website from ready-made blocks, with drafts, SEO settings and forms that collect leads.
Subscriptions and sales
Sell single courses, subscription plans with monthly or yearly prices, and course bundles, with secure card checkout and a self-service billing portal for learners.
Coupons and free trials
Percentage, fixed-amount, free-enrollment and free-period coupons, shareable as links, plus free trials with an email sequence that guides them.
Email management
Scheduled campaigns to precise audiences, automatic emails when learners finish a course or unlock new content, and multi-step sequences, with a delivery log of every send.
Reports and analytics
Enrollment trends, engagement, group seat use and per-course drop-off, a win-back list of lapsed learners, and quiz exports for outcomes reporting.
Certificates
PDF certificates issued automatically when a learner finishes a course, ready to download any time.
Scheduled release
Release a course's sections on a schedule so learners move through at a set pace, with an email when new content unlocks.
Team roles
Owners, administrators, course authors who can't change published courses, and read-only reviewers, with one login across several schools.
WebinarsComing soon
Live webinars for your learners, scheduled and run alongside your courses.
Help center
A help center drafted by AI from your own documents
Add your policies and procedures as source documents, and AI drafts step-by-step guides for learners and seat managers in your school's house style. Your team reviews and approves every change before it goes live.
Learners search the guides written for their role, or open the right one from a "?" next to the feature they're using.
No lock-in
Your data is yours
No need to worry about having to recreate your courses. Your courses, media and learner records belong to you, and if you ever decide to leave, we'll export all of it for you to use off the platform.
Content is stored in open, structured formats: a standard Postgres database and block-based JSON, not a proprietary page format.
Migration
Switching platforms? We'll move you.
Our team migrates your courses, lessons, quizzes, video and files, along with learner accounts, enrollments, progress and certificates. We agree the scope with you up front, so you know exactly what moves and when.
