MapArc LMS — Free, Full-Featured WordPress LMS

Free, full-featured, forever.

MapArc LMS is a WordPress learning management system for creating and managing structured online learning directly from your WordPress website.

Build courses with modules, lessons, and assessments. Enroll learners, track progress and completion, run self-paced or cohort-based programs, schedule drip learning, create multilingual course variants, and issue publicly verifiable certificates.

Designed for educators, training providers, nonprofits, organizations, and institutions, MapArc LMS brings the learning experience into WordPress — from course creation and learner management to assessment, progress tracking, and certification.

Your courses. Your learners. Your branding. Your WordPress LMS.

Build Structured Courses

Create courses with:

Modules
Lessons
Assessments

Organize content into clear learning paths using the MapArc LMS course builder inside WordPress.

Lessons can also include YouTube-hosted video content when required.

Manage Learners and Track Progress

Manage learners without moving your learning operations to a separate LMS platform.

MapArc LMS supports:

Learner registration and login
Course enrollment
Learner management
Lesson and assessment progress
Course completion tracking
Learner data export to CSV

Assessments and Certificates

Include assessments as part of the learner journey and use course completion as part of your certification workflow.

MapArc LMS supports configurable certificate completion rules and certificate signatories.

Signatories can include:

Name
Position
Affiliation
Optional signature image

Certificates can also be publicly verified, allowing third parties to confirm certificate information after a learner completes a course.

Self-Paced, Cohort, and Drip Learning

MapArc LMS supports both self-paced learning and scheduled cohorts.

Self-paced courses allow learners to work through available content according to their own schedule.

Scheduled cohorts can be used for training batches, workshops, educational programs, staff development, and other time-based learning programs.

Enrollment-relative drip scheduling can progressively release content according to when an individual learner enrolls.

Multilingual Learning

MapArc LMS supports multilingual variants for courses, lessons, and assessments.

Learner progress can remain shared across language variants, allowing translated content to remain part of the same learning journey.

Your Organization, Your Branding

MapArc LMS supports white-label institutional branding across the learner-facing experience.

Branding can follow your WordPress Site Identity or use custom LMS branding settings, helping the learning environment remain consistent with your website and organization.

Statistics, Privacy, and WordPress Integration

MapArc LMS includes public enrollment and completion statistics and allows administrators to export learner information to CSV.

It also integrates with WordPress personal-data export and erasure functionality and includes configurable certificate retention.

The core learning management functionality runs directly within WordPress and does not require a separate external LMS service.
