Build a complete learning platform on your Joomla site

It works with Joomla: courses use Joomla user groups for access and admin
permissions, content is stored on your own server, and the component runs
inside any Joomla 5 or 6 template.

What you can build

• Corporate training — onboarding, compliance, safety courses with audit-ready completion tracking.
• Schools & academies — courses organized by department or subject, with instructors managing their own content.
• Multi-tenant platforms — host multiple organizations on one Joomla site, fully isolated through user groups.
• Safety & compliance — mandatory exams and renewable certificates with automatic expiry reminders.
• Membership-driven course sales — sell access with Membership Pro or any subscription extension; paying members are enrolled automatically.
• Blended learning — combine online modules with instructor-led sessions.

Course structure

Category (e.g. Fire Safety)
→ Course (e.g. Basic Fire Extinguisher Training)
→ Module (e.g. Chapter 1: Fire Types)
→ Lesson (e.g. Class A Fires)
→ Content blocks (text, video, quiz...)

Unlimited category nesting, drag-and-drop ordering for modules / lessons / blocks, and a choice of fixed (sequential) or free lesson order.

Five content block types

• Text — full WYSIWYG editor (Joomla's built-in or JCE), inline image upload, progress tracked by reading time.
• Video — upload directly to your server with chunked uploads up to 2 GB. MP4, WebM, OGG, MOV. Marked complete at 95% playback.
• Embedded video — paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL, the platform is auto-detected. Optional start time, loop and autoplay.
• Audio — MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC, M4A, FLAC. Native HTML5 player. Marked complete at 95% playback.
• Quiz — true/false, single choice and multiple choice. Use as inline knowledge checks or as a final exam.

Quizzes & final exams

• Configurable passing score, time limit (auto-submit), max attempts.
• Proportional or all-or-nothing scoring for multiple choice.
• Randomize questions and answer options.
• When max attempts are reached: either let the learner reset the course, or lock the quiz for admin review.
• Designate one quiz as the course's final exam — passing it earns the certificate.

Certificates with expiry & renewal

• Auto-issued on course completion or final exam pass.
• Validity period in days (0 = never expires).
• Email reminders at 30 / 7 / 1 days before and after expiry — configurable per course or category.
• Renewal flow: learner clicks "Renew", completes required material, gets a new certificate.
• Unique certificate number with configurable prefix (e.g. EL-2026-A8SKK6).
• Print-friendly certificate page with your organization logo.

Detailed progress tracking

• Video / audio: 95% playback.
• Text: estimated reading time.
• Embedded video: time visible on screen.
• Quiz: complete after first attempt (or after passing, if required).
• Lesson: complete when all blocks are done.
• Course: complete when all lessons are done.

Administrators see per-student statistics: time spent, quiz scores, completion dates, certificate status.

Frontend administration

Everything is manageable from the frontend — no backend access needed:

• Course editor with tabs for details, modules, lessons, files and settings.
• Category management with unlimited nesting and inherited permissions.
• Instructor profiles with images, bios and linked Joomla users.
• Student statistics with detailed progress per learner.
• Certificate overview filterable by status.
• Reset request handling — learners request more attempts, instructors approve.

Group-based permissions

Three permission levels per course, all based on Joomla user groups:

• Access groups — who can take the course (hierarchical inheritance).
• Admin groups — who can edit the course (hierarchical inheritance).
• Statistics groups — who can view student progress (direct match).

Set the same permissions on categories and they cascade to every course inside. Access groups also power Auto-Enrollment (see below).

Automatic enrollment from memberships

Pair a Joomla user group with one or more courses, and learners are enrolled automatically the moment they join that group — with no custom development.

• Works with Membership Pro, PayPlans, RSMembership and any extension that assigns Joomla user groups.
• Pay → join group → automatically enrolled in the linked course(s).
• Optional enrollment email per group, with a customizable subject and body.
• Only courses a group can actually access can be linked to it, preventing dead enrollments.
• Includes a CLI sync command as a safety net for systems that assign user groups directly in the database.

Settings inheritance

Configure once at the top, override anywhere below:
Global → Root Category → Sub-category → Course

Inheritable settings include color theme, certificate logo and validity period, default passing percentage, quiz pass/fail messages, email templates, and reminder schedules. The editor clearly shows which values are inherited and which are overridden.

Customizable color themes

• Five presets: Standard, Green, Dark, Warm, Custom.
• Four color slots: primary, secondary, success, accent.
• 3-tier inheritance (global → category → course).
• Colors only affect the EasyLearn component — your site header, footer and menu stay untouched.

Translations

English (en-GB) is included. Language packs available for Danish, German and French.

Requirements

• Joomla 5.1+ or 6.x
• PHP 8.1 or higher
• MariaDB 10.11+ or MySQL 8.0+

Subscription & updates

Three subscription tiers (Single / Professional / Developer) covering 1, 5 or unlimited domains. Includes 12 months of updates and support. One-click updates from Joomla's Extension Manager via download key.
