E-learning and LMS · Kenya
We build learning management systems on WordPress for Kenyan organisations that teach: courses, quizzes, certificates and M-Pesa payments in one place you own. Development starts from $5,000 per project, scoped in writing.
Kenyan universities already run their own e-learning portals, and learners have come to expect the same from colleges, professional bodies and private trainers. The question for a smaller organisation is how to offer that without paying per learner for a platform it does not control.
WordPress, extended with a mature LMS plugin and custom code, gives you a learning platform on your own domain. You set prices, keep learner records and decide how certificates look, and nobody else takes a cut of each enrolment.
We structure content into courses, modules and lessons, with video, documents and links to live sessions. Quizzes can be marked automatically, assignments uploaded for tutor review, and progress tracked for each learner. Drip release lets you open content week by week to match an intake. Tutors see who is falling behind and can follow up before a learner drops out.
Most Kenyan learners will pay by phone. We connect enrolment to Paystack, Flutterwave or Pesapal so a learner approves an M-Pesa prompt and gains access as soon as payment is confirmed. Instalment plans need care: Paystack's M-Pesa channel does not support recurring charges, so we build instalments as separate payment requests with reminders by SMS or email, or offer card subscriptions alongside for learners who hold a card.
A certificate is only valuable if an employer can trust it. We generate certificates automatically on completion, each with a unique number and a public verification page on your domain. Our team built exactly this for BFI School, an online school for BFI Insights LLC in the USA, which issues certificates, takes payments in four currencies and runs an affiliate programme.
An LMS stores names, phone numbers, results and sometimes identity documents. Under the Data Protection Act, 2019 you are the data controller for all of it. We restrict who can see results, collect only what enrolment needs and keep audit logs. Where learners are under 18, section 33 of the Act means a parent's or guardian's consent comes first, so we add a guardian step to registration.
Many learners will study on a phone using a data bundle. We keep lesson pages light, let learners download materials for offline reading where your licence allows, and resume video where they stopped. Quizzes save answers as they go, so a dropped connection does not wipe out twenty minutes of work and a learner's goodwill along with it. We test every lesson type on a mid-range Android phone.

Two learning builds by our team are the closest match: the BFI School online school with certificates and multi-currency payments, and the Alvina Schools virtual learning environment.
A hosted platform is quick to start but usually charges per learner or takes a share of sales, and your learner data lives on its terms. WordPress gives you ownership, your own .co.ke or .ac.ke domain and freedom to customise. The trade-off is that someone must maintain it, which we can do under Managed Services.
Yes, with some design. Because Paystack's M-Pesa channel does not handle recurring charges, we set instalments up as scheduled payment requests with reminders by email or SMS. Card subscriptions can run automatically alongside for learners and employers who prefer them.
Yes. We link the LMS to the video tool you already use, such as Zoom or Google Meet, so live sessions appear in the course timeline with joining links. Recordings can then be added as lessons for learners who missed the session.
Learning platforms sit in our Development service, which starts from $5,000 per project. The figure depends on the number of user types, payment rules, certificates and integrations. We send a written scope with the price before any work begins, so you can compare it with alternatives.
Usually, yes. Course content, learners and sometimes progress records can be exported and imported into WordPress, depending on what the old platform allows. We test a sample first so you know exactly what will carry over before committing to the full move.
