9 Best LMS for UK Membership Organisations & Trade Associations in 2026

Prices checked 13 October 2026, ex VAT. G-Cloud figures are public-sector framework prices and may differ from commercial quotes. Oasis LMS prices in US dollars.

What it is: An Irish-built platform that describes itself as "the all-in-one association learning management system", with certification programmes, continuing education, e-commerce and what it calls "many canned integrations with leading AMSs", naming iMIS and Salesforce.

Price: Quote on request; no prices or minimums are published and there is no free trial, only a tailored demo. Customer testimonials refer to a flexible pricing model agreed per organisation.

Best for: Large UK and international associations with an existing AMS and a dedicated education department.

What it is: A UK-built member training LMS with a visual and AI-assisted course builder, built-in live streaming for AGMs and CPD days with automatic replays, CPD tracking, automatic certificates, membership tiers and access levels, Stripe payments for selling courses and bundles, SCORM 1.2/2004 import and export, and single sign-on with AMS/CRM integration. NFU Education grew to more than 5,400 active learners on it.

Price: £49 a month for 1–50 active learners, £99 for 51–100, £150 for 101–250 and custom pricing above that, ex VAT, with every feature on every plan. You are billed on members who signed in during the year, not on your total membership, and registered non-profit associations get up to 40% off. There is a free trial with no card required. Details are on the member training LMS page and pricing.

Best for: Trade associations, institutes and professional bodies with hundreds to a few thousand active learners who want to launch member training quickly and keep the bill predictable.

What it is: The UK LMS previously sold as Agylia, now part of Civica. Its membership offer is centred on CPD: members create CPD plans, record internal and external learning, upload evidence and have records audited, with targets that vary by membership type. The Royal College of Radiologists and the PGA are shown as customers, and the Chartered Institute of Marketing reported CPD engagement doubling in a year on it.

Price: Quote on request; Civica publishes no pricing. Third-party listings describe an active-user sliding scale with a 500-user minimum, which we could not verify with the vendor.

Best for: Chartered and professional bodies whose members must evidence annual CPD to a regulator.

What it is: Totara is a corporate open-source learning platform licensed through partners; Webanywhere, a Leeds-based Platinum Totara Partner, sells a membership package covering design, development, integration, hosting and training, with Totara Audiences used to segment members by level, role or sector, CPD programmes, downloadable certificates and CRM integration.

Price: Quote on request from Webanywhere. Totara itself publishes no prices and subscriptions are tiered by active users per year; as a reference point, Accipio's January 2026 G-Cloud sheet lists a Totara Learn and Engage subscription at £4,440 a year for up to 500 users on top of its managed-service fee. Expect a five-figure first year once build is included.

Best for: Associations with a clear brief for a unique portal and the budget to have it built and maintained.

What it is: Titus Learning, based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire, is a Premium Certified Moodle Partner and Totara Platinum Partner (per its G-Cloud supplier listing) that builds and hosts customised Moodle platforms, lists membership and non-profit organisations among its sectors, and offers Moodle Workplace, e-commerce, integrations, branding and custom development.

Price: Its G-Cloud 14 Moodle LMS listing is "£8,000 a unit a year" with education pricing available and a demonstration portal for public-sector buyers; its January 2026 pricing document itemises support packs from £3,500 (25 hours), branding from £1,500 and a bespoke user experience at £7,750, all ex VAT. Commercial quotes for associations are on request.

Best for: Membership bodies already committed to Moodle, or with large content libraries and SCORM back-catalogues to migrate.

What it is: A London provider of fully managed Moodle, Moodle Workplace and Totara platforms with its own plugin suite (Accipio ONE) for e-commerce and advanced grading. It lists membership as a sector and the Chartered Insurance Institute as a client, and is one of a handful of UK companies able to offer Moodle Workplace.

Price: Unusually, published: the fully managed service is £9,135 a year for 1–500 users, £12,915 for 501–1,000 and £14,700 for 1,001–1,500, ex VAT, rising in bands to 50,000 users. Moodle LMS needs no extra subscription; Moodle Workplace (£4,134 for up to 500 users) or Totara Learn and Engage (£4,440) are add-ons. Implementation packages are £5,000 (Standard) or £10,000 (Enhanced).

Best for: Associations that want open source without the operational risk, and value knowing the price before the sales call.

What it is: A Dublin-based enterprise LMS with a dedicated "LearnUpon for Associations" plan pitched at making continuing education "a driver of mission, revenue, and advocacy", with multi-portal branding, e-commerce and automation.

Price: Quote on request; the associations plan starts "from 150 users" and non-profits have no separate pricing. Third-party guides estimate $6–$9 per active user per month and minimum contracts around $10,000–$15,000 a year; unverified.

Best for: Associations in the 150–5,000 learner range that want enterprise polish and can run a procurement.

What it is: A Chicago-based LMS for associations, healthcare CME and CLE/CPE providers. It automates CE credit tracking and certificates, supports member and non-member pricing, and includes integrations with iMIS, Nimble AMS, Fonteva, Personify, YourMembership, NetForum, Salesforce and more in the subscription.

Price: Published in US dollars: Standard $1,000 a month for up to 1,000 annual users and 100 GB, Professional $2,000 a month for up to 3,000 annual users, Enterprise custom above that; branded mobile apps are $1,500 a month each. No free trial; book a demo.

Best for: UK bodies accrediting international professionals, or those already running a US AMS such as iMIS or Nimble.

What it is: An AI-first enterprise learning platform for employees, customers and partners that also counts professional and non-profit associations among its customers; the benchmark for "what would the enterprise option cost?"

Price: Custom pricing based on product tier (Elevate or Enterprise) and active users, offered as monthly, yearly or registered active users; Docebo says it suits organisations training at least 250 learners, usually on three-to-five-year terms. A UK reseller's January 2026 G-Cloud sheet lists Docebo Elevate at £18,340 a year for 250 yearly active users, £24,146 for 500 and £32,718 for 1,000, ex VAT, on a 36-month minimum with mandatory onboarding.

Best for: Large, multi-audience bodies with an enterprise L&D budget and an IT function to own the integrations.

The pricing model decides the budget. Seat models were designed for employers, where everyone trains; membership bodies have long tails of members who log in once a year, if at all. Insist on an active-member definition, check what counts as "active", and model real engagement rather than member count.
