Holographic Training LMS Core
Holographic Training LMS Core is the free foundation version of the Holographic Training LMS WordPress plugin. It gives you the essential structure needed to create online courses, organise lessons, register learners, manage access and track progress from inside your own WordPress website.
Core is designed for people who want a working WordPress LMS without starting with a paid licence. It is suitable for simple training sites, free courses, internal learning resources, early course development, and testing your course structure before moving to Pro or Corporate.
You can use Core on its own, or you can extend it later with Holographic Training LMS Pro and Corporate when you need paid course access, certificates, advanced assessments, reporting, automation, evidence tools or corporate training management.
Build A Course Structure Inside WordPress
Holographic Training LMS Core lets you build a clear training structure using courses, modules and lessons. This gives your training content a logical order, so learners can move through material in a way that is easier to understand and manage.
Instead of relying on loose pages or disconnected posts, Core gives you a proper LMS structure inside WordPress. You can create the main course, divide it into modules, and add lessons for the individual teaching content.
This makes Core a practical starting point if you want to turn a normal WordPress website into an organised online training site.
Manage Learners Without WordPress Admin Access
Core includes front-end learner accounts, so learners do not need access to the WordPress admin dashboard. They can register, log in, reset passwords and access their learner dashboard from the public side of your website.
This is important for a training site because learners should only see the course areas intended for them. WordPress admin access should remain separate from the learner experience.
Core gives you the basic learner journey needed for online training, including learner registration, login, dashboard access, manual course access and progress tracking.
Create Lessons And Add Basic Quizzes
Holographic Training LMS Core includes basic lesson quizzes for simple knowledge checks. These can be used to help learners confirm that they understand the lesson before moving on.
Core quizzes are suitable for straightforward awareness training, internal learning, free courses and early course testing. They are not intended to replace the more advanced assessment tools included in Pro.
If you need quiz enforcement, time limits, attempt controls, module assessments, final exams, tutor marking, written answers or assessment blueprints, those are Pro features.
Use Page Builder Support For Course Content
Page Builder Support is included in Core, Pro and Corporate. This means you can build and edit course, module and lesson content using your preferred WordPress page-building workflow while keeping the LMS structure, learner access and progress tracking connected.
This is useful if you want your training pages to match the design of the rest of your website. You can create a branded learner experience without forcing your course content into a fixed layout.
Core gives you the foundation for page-builder-friendly course content. Pro adds the more advanced course builder and professional training delivery tools.
What Holographic Training LMS Core Includes
Holographic Training LMS Core includes the main features needed to start building a WordPress LMS website.
Core includes unlimited courses, course management, module management, lesson management, front-end course pages, page builder support, learner registration, learner login, learner management, learner dashboard access, manual learner access, basic lesson quizzes, learner progress tracking, setup pages, system health checks and plugin updates.
Core does not have a domain limit because it does not require a paid licence.
What Core Does Not Include
Core is the free foundation version, so it does not include the professional and corporate tools found in the paid versions.
Core does not include paid course access, checkout, basket, orders, invoices, tax control, coupons, bundles, Stripe or PayPal support, protected downloads, protected lesson video, certificates, certificate verification, advanced quiz tools, module assessments, final exams, tutor accounts, tutor marking, evidence portfolios, CPD records, live sessions, email automation, scheduled reports, advanced imports, audit exports or corporate account management.
If you need those tools, Holographic Training LMS Pro is the next version to look at. If you also need company accounts, seats, managers, departments, staff replacement tools, document acknowledgements, training needs analysis, competency tracking or corporate reporting, you will need Corporate as well.
Who Core Is Best For
Holographic Training LMS Core is best for users who need a simple WordPress LMS plugin without the full paid training platform.
It is a good fit for free courses, simple internal training, early course development, private learning resources, testing a course idea, building your first LMS structure, or preparing your site before upgrading to Pro.
Core is also useful if you want to understand the basic course, module, lesson and learner workflow before adding payments, certificates, assessments, automation or corporate features.
When To Upgrade From Core To Pro
You should consider upgrading to Pro when your training site needs to become more than a basic course structure.
Pro is the better option if you want to sell courses, protect training files, issue certificates, verify certificates with QR codes, enforce quizzes, run module assessments, create final exams, use tutor marking, collect learner evidence, track CPD hours, send learner notifications, manage course expiry, run live sessions, use reporting tools or manage a more complete online course business.
Core gives you the foundation. Pro turns that foundation into a professional training delivery system.
Start With Core And Upgrade When You Need More
Holographic Training LMS Core gives you a practical way to start building online courses inside WordPress. You can create the course structure, add lessons, register learners, control access and track progress without committing to a paid licence straight away.
When your training site needs more advanced delivery tools, you can add Pro. When you need larger organisation, staff, department or client training management, you can add Corporate.
Core is the starting point for the full Holographic Training LMS platform.
