Guru, is a Joomla LMS that allows you to create online courses easily! We believe that everyone is an expert in something. If you know something that others don’t, there is no better time to profit from it. You can create a course about your topic and start generating income. The great thing about creating a course online is that it’s almost completely hands off. You can create it once, then let the money roll in.
So what knowledge do YOU possess? Are you an expert programmer? A keen angler? A raw food chef? Whatever you know, someone would like to learn about it — and is willing to pay for it. That makes you a Guru.
If you’re dreaming of quitting your day job, getting rid of that obnoxious boss and then working from home, creating a course online will allow you to do it at your own speed. You can work on your course in the evenings and the weekends, and when it starts generating income, you can make your dream come true.

This is my first review on Joomla Extension. The beauty of component made me to write. I am not a programmer or developer. For quite long I had been looking for a component for my e-learning site (yet to be built). Tried several components, none of them were creative enough. Guru is one of most creative Joomla component.
It is simply beautiful. Congrats to the iJoomla. I am looking for implementation of SCROM which must for any LMS and which in the To Do list of the developers.
Great Job and Congrats to the team!!!

I am VERY impressed with what the Ijoomla team did with Guru.
It is very easy to master. It is simple in it's approach yet offers MANY features that will surely enhance ANY training/subscription based website.
I have used other Joomla LMS apps and I can attest that this is the one you should be looking at for your site.
The roadmap indicates that there will be frontend course editing/adding amoungst other great features.
From the backend - creating and editing a course is painless. The whole app can be mastered in about 20 minutes.
The frontend looks clean and I have yet to find anything wrong with the styling or presentation.
I use dozens of Joomla addons for dozens of clients and GURU is certainly going to be one of my top 10 addons.
I am not affiliated with Ijoomla in any way, shape or form :) Im just very happy with the work they have done and they certainly deserve the credit.
The price is a mute point considering the level of professionalism that went into the final product. For any professional training website the price shouldnt be a hinderance. For me, it is far better to bill out the cost to a client and work with a solid system than to try to backwards engineer one that might not fit our exact needs.
Great job!!!
