E-learning New

Online training you build yourself. With an exam and a certificate.

Chapters, steps, videos, slides and questions – put together inside Kursimple, without a second piece of software and without an agency. Your participants book the training like any other course, learn at their own pace, sit the exam and receive their certificate. You can see where everyone stands.

  • Sell it like any course
  • Exam with a certificate
  • Reporting down to the single answer

How a training course is made

From an empty course to a certificate that has been earned

E-learning is not a separate program next to your course management; it is a type of course inside it. Booking, payment, invoicing and customer records work exactly as they do for a classroom course – the course simply takes place in the browser.

Course content

Sections, steps, media – dragged into place rather than programmed

The outline is on the left, the content on the right: a section is a chapter, a step is a screen. Into each step goes whatever belongs there – and you change the order by dragging steps by their handle.

  • Text, notes, images, audio, video, slides and questions – each element with its own form.
  • Presentations and PDFs become slide images, and large videos upload in chunks – with a progress bar.
  • Questions branch: each answer can lead to a different step, or branch by right and wrong.
  • A preview of every step exactly as learners see it – you can try the questions out, nothing is saved.
Exam & certificate

A real exam – with a pass mark, attempts and a time limit

Any section can be marked as an exam. There you set how many points are needed to pass, how many attempts there are and whether a clock is running. Whatever can be graded automatically is graded by Kursimple; free-text answers you read yourself.

  • Question pools with random selection: every attempt draws different questions from the pool.
  • Grade free-text answers with points and a comment – until then learners see “being graded”.
  • Release a retake: a time window, one to ten attempts, optionally a section to repeat first – the participant receives an email.
  • A certificate with an expiry date – right for training that has to be refreshed regularly.
Versions

Change things without disturbing people mid-course

You always edit the current version. To publish it you submit it for review and someone else releases it – after that it is frozen and bookable. That way it is clear which content a participant worked through.

  • Four-eyes principle: whoever submits does not publish – switchable off for one-person businesses.
  • A checklist before release: Kursimple names what is still missing – only then can you publish.
  • Anyone who has already booked carries on with their version; new participants get the new one.
  • Flow diagram: every path through the course as a diagram, with a check for unreachable steps and dead ends.
Reporting

You see where everyone stands – and where things stall

Across all courses: how many are taking part, have started, finished or failed, the pass rate and the average time taken. For each participation, every exam attempt with all answers, points and timestamps.

  • “Where learners are”: if participants pile up at one step, that is where many drop out.
  • Statistics per question: how often it was right, how often wrong, and how often each answer was chosen.
  • Export to Excel – one row per participation or per answer given, exactly as your filter shows it.
  • Evidence in a single case: how a result came about can be traced.
Who it is for

For everyone who sells knowledge or has to prove it

E-learning does not replace a good classroom course. It does take off its hands what repeats every time anyway – and makes training possible when no date can be found.

Training providers and academiesSpecialist courses with an exam and a certificate, bookable anywhere and at any time – as a separate offer alongside the classroom courses.
Mandatory trainingHygiene, occupational safety, data protection: invite instead of sell, with a deadline, proof and a certificate carrying an expiry date.
Company clientsA company books for its staff and each person learns individually – the invoice and the proof go to the company.
Preparation for a classroom courseThe theory online beforehand, so the session on site is free for practice – without starting from scratch every time.

Frequently asked

What course providers ask about e-learning

Do I need a second system for this?

No. E-learning is a type of course inside your Kursimple. The training sits alongside your classroom courses in the programme, is paid for in the same cart, produces the same invoice and lands in the same customer record. You build the content directly in Kursimple – importing from other learning platforms is not supported.

How do participants get to the training?

In two ways. Either they book the course in the portal – then access is granted after payment, just like a download. Or you invite them, with no order required; that is the route for mandatory training of your own staff, with a deadline if you wish.

What happens if I change the content later?

You make changes in a new version. Anyone already in the middle of the course finishes on their version – new participants get the new one as soon as it is published. That keeps it traceable which state someone worked through and which exam they passed.

Can I really use the exams as proof?

Kursimple records every attempt with all answers, points and timestamps and ties the result to the version the participant worked through. Whether an online exam is sufficient for your purpose is decided by whoever requires the proof – Kursimple supplies the documentation for it.

How long is a certificate valid?

As long as you set per course. For training that is refreshed annually you enter twelve months – the certificate carries the expiry date.

Which plan includes e-learning?

The Pro plan. The module is switched on for your account; if you switch it off again, the courses you created and the results remain. As always: 0 % commission, €0 set-up, cancel monthly. To the pricing
