Hi there,

I'm seeking software or a program where I can develop training courses on a site for my staff & then have them take tests, then I can see their marks, if they improve over time, how everyone collectively is doing etc.

I already searched, found one (that's how I got the idea), e-mailed them, got no response, found others, but they were way too expensive, like $500-$5,000.

Any leads?

Thanks


Michelle

Brief, practical plan to get a working staff-training site without overspending. is looking for course creation, tests, individual scores and trend reporting; earlier replies touched on custom scripts and hosted LMSes, and raised legitimate concerns about cost and vendor responsiveness (, ). Use that context to focus on requirements, a short pilot, and vendor vetting rather than a long procurement cycle.

Must-have checklist (use this to compare options and to run a 30-day pilot):

  • Course authoring and multiple quiz types (auto-graded + manual review).
  • Progress tracking and per-user trend reports, plus export to CSV.
  • SCORM or xAPI support if you plan to reuse packaged content.
  • User/group management, roles, and simple permissions.
  • Data ownership/export, backups, HTTPS and basic security.
  • Trial/demo environment and documented support/SLA.

Practical, cost-aware choices and tradeoffs: self-hosted open-source systems like Moodle or a site built on WordPress with an LMS plugin keep license costs low but require some IT time for setup and maintenance. SaaS vendors give faster setup and built-in reporting but carry recurring fees — and slow vendor follow-up is a valid red flag, so insist on a trial, written SLA, and references. Custom development is fine when you have unique workflows, but build in maintenance budget and a reachable support contact.

A 4-step pilot that actually proves value: 1) define 3 must-have features and success metrics; 2) deploy a trial (self-hosted demo or SaaS trial) and create one full course; 3) enroll 8-12 staff, run the course and collect/export reports; 4) evaluate UX, reports, support responsiveness and total cost of ownership. Short-term hack: use Google Forms + a spreadsheet or a simple WordPress plugin to start training immediately while you evaluate a full LMS.

Yeh I e-mailed your company & they responded the first time, but not the second time.

Prompt e-mails & customer service is crucial before I'll even consider working with a company.

Hi there,

Thanks for that & yes, I'm already aware of it.

I haven't found a capable website coder to do all the changes I need on my site, so that will remain as is until someone fixes it.

Have a great wknd. :)
