Academy Of Mine As An Alternative, Learning Management-System
Is Academy of Mine Right for You?
The learning management system market is worth nearly $15 billion dollars as of 2025, up from $12 billion in 2024, and there’s no end to that growth in sight. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of LMS companies who are happy to sell to anyone.
But here at Academy of Mine, we do things differently: we aren’t looking to work with just anyone. After working with thousands of customers over the years, we have a very specific list of criteria covering who our ideal customers are. Whether you stumbled across this page by accident, or you’re actively in the market for a new LMS, if the below rings true for you, we want to hear from you.
You're a training provider
We work exclusively with training providers, specifically businesses that offer professional training, continuing education, and certification based training. Our solution is industry agnostic, but our customers often operate in these industries:
- Safety
- Compliance and regulatory requirements
- Healthcare
- Real estate
- School districts/K-12 education
Real customer examples:
- IneServ Solutions started with providing compliance training to the FAA and expanded from there: Achieving Growth and Compliance: InteServ Solutions' Success with Academy Of Mine
- We also have customers who offer OSHA-certified safety training, professional development for real estate agents, and continuing education to K-12 teachers

You have an established business and customer base
Academy of Mine is a comprehensive solution for companies that have already established themselves and found their rhythm, as a business and with their students. Our best customers are organizations that are at least two years old and who are training at least 200 learners every month. We have occasionally worked with startups in the past, but unless you have a relatively large, well-converting audience ready to go, our platform might be overkill.
Real customer examples:
- Our customer had a healthy business, but didn’t have any way to track customer progress: How An LMS Transformed Hanover Research's External Training
- We helped this customer transfer their thriving offline business to being eCommerce based: How Model Teaching Seamlessly Trains K-12 Teachers & Schools Online
You’ve outgrown your current LMS
You already have an LMS platform in place for your business, but you’re running into limitations. Most of our customers fall into one of the two following camps:
- They have an existing LMS vendor, but are running into problems like missing integrations, a lack of bulk import/export functionality, challenges with user onboarding and/or learner experience, handling tedious administrative tasks manually, their users having little to no visibility into reports on learner progress and engagement, etc.
- They’ve built a system and/or combined existing tools and platforms to get most of the functionality they need, but are now struggling to maintain and scale that homegrown system, while trying to figure out solutions for high-priority features that aren’t working as they should (if at all).
Either way, it’s very clear that a new solution is necessary for your business to keep delivering the quality of training that you pride yourself on.
Real customer examples:
- Our learner reports and portal features helped our customer improve client satisfaction and retention: How An LMS Transformed Hanover Research’s External Training
- Our suite of integration and customization options helped our customer streamline their workflows: Continuing Education Provider Saves Time & Money Ditching Fragmented Software
You're looking to scale your revenue
Our platform is the perfect fit for organizations that want to increase revenue from their training services/products. Often, our customers have built their training business offline and are now looking to move that training online. The move from offline to online means you can reach more customers without being limited by location, and it also means you can offer offer eLearning on-demand, without you or an employee needing to supervise them in real time.
We also work with organizations who are currently offering online training, but are experiencing bottlenecks in their current systems. Working with us means they can improve their backend systems to make it as easy as possible for customers to purchase and sign up for training. Most of our customers also experience a dramatic decrease in time spent on administrative tasks, which means they can focus on more immediately revenue-generating work.
There are a variety of paths that may have taken before that point, but now, these organizations are ready to get rid of bottlenecks and dramatically increase their revenue from eLearning and training programs.
Real customer examples:
- We helped our customer scale their business without sacrificing user experience: How an OSHA-Certified Safety Training Company Grew from 3,000 to 15,000 Customers
- Our platform let this customer move their offline business online and scale it by adding eLearning: Startup Safety Trainer Clears Six Figures Annually with Custom LMS
- Our customer wanted to expand their eCommerce offerings and went from zero online courses to 300+: How RTI Transformed Training and Continuing Education with Academy of Mine’s LMS
You offer B2B and/or corporate training
The majority of our customers offer B2B or corporate training and rely on that customer base to keep their business growing. They may also offer B2C options and let individual users purchase training from their online store, but B2B is a high priority for them. To meet their growth goals, they need to be able to quickly onboard an entire organization in bulk and sell them licenses for employee training.
Real customer examples:
- InteServ Solutions and Paragon Compliance rely on our B2B portals feature to easily onboard companies
- Hanover Research needed an LMS that was built for B2B, so that K-12 school district administrators could track their teachers' progress and see the value of Hanover's training
You want a high-touch experience
Nobody wants to be stuck with a cookie-cutter product, and especially not when it’s something as important as the backbone of your training business. Our customers usually need a custom LMS experience, running the gamut from minor tweaks to heavy-duty changes to the stock experience. When they work with us, they’re working with a company who not only works to understand their needs, but is also willing to support those needs with a world class development team. Working together, we can guide the migration and implementation process to create a user and learner experience tailored specifically to our customers’ needs.
That support also extends to after the initial setup is complete. Many of our customers have smaller teams (even if they exist within a larger organization) who need personalized support. They can’t get the answers they need from a chatbot and they can’t spend days waiting on a vendor response, either. We pride ourselves on providing fast, high-quality customer support, which is why we have a 4.9 star average on Capterra.
Real customer examples:
- We were the only vendor able to meet our customer’s need for custom features: Offering Professional Development To Real Estate Agents With A User-Friendly LMS
- We organized and executed a complete migration in six weeks for our customer: Online CME Provider Saves 50%+ Migrating to Custom LMS
