What does KMI LMS offer associations, and is there a UK alternative?
KMI LMS (KMI Learning) is a privately held US platform for associations, government, nonprofits and corporate teams. It runs multi-track conferences, tracks continuing-education credits across several accrediting bodies with rules and credit caps, issues CE certificates with expiry tracking, and offers white-label portals, SAML or OAuth single sign-on and a REST API for HR, CRM and AMS data exchange. It publishes no prices; access is by demo.
For a UK membership organisation that mainly needs member courses, CPD certificates and live events, Continuum Learn is the closer fit: it is built and supported in the UK, starts at £49 a month for up to 50 active learners with every feature included, and offers a free trial with no card. KMI is the stronger choice if you run large accredited conferences with complex multi-body credit rules.
Conference-and-credits platform vs member training platform
KMI positions itself as an integrated LMS that runs conferences, tracks CE credits and delivers secure, compliant training, and that breadth shows in its feature list: speaker management, hybrid conference tracks, credit assignment per session and certificate automation for attendees. It is a sensible choice for a US credentialing body or a society whose annual conference is the centre of its education programme.
Most UK trade associations and professional bodies have a different shape of problem: a few hundred to a few thousand active members who need courses, CPD evidence and the occasional live event, on a budget that cannot absorb an enterprise contract. Continuum Learn is built for that. Courses, live streaming with automatic replays, CPD certificates with public verification, membership tiers, payments and SSO are all on every plan, and you can see the price before you talk to anyone.
What UK membership bodies ask for, included on every plan
No modules to unlock and no quote needed to find out what it costs.
CPD certificates that verify themselves
Set CPD hours on a course and every learner who completes it, or attends enough of a live session, gets a numbered certificate with a public verification link and expiry reminders.
Live events with automatic replays
Stream from OBS or the browser to thousands of members, record every session automatically and sell live or replay access.
Membership tiers & access levels
Map courses to membership grades, branches and cohorts so each member sees the training included in their membership.
Single sign-on & 2FA
Members sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, with optional two-factor authentication, and records stay in step with your AMS or CRM.

Side by side
How the things UK associations ask us about line up.
KMI details are taken from kmilearning.com and public directory listings as of October 2026. KMI publishes no prices; directory estimates vary widely, so we have not quoted them. Vendors change their plans, so confirm current terms with KMI before deciding.
When KMI might be the better fit
We would rather you choose well than choose us.
Your conference is the education programme
If you run large multi-track conferences with speaker management and per-session credit, KMI's conference tooling goes further than our live events.
Credits for several accrediting bodies
If one course must award different credit types to different boards, with caps and rules per body, KMI is built around that. Continuum records CPD hours per course.
US government or regulated credentialing
For US agencies and licensing boards that need a US-based vendor and US-specific compliance, KMI is the more natural shortlist entry.
You are a US association
Our support hours, pricing and AMS experience are centred on the UK. A US body will usually be better served by a US vendor.
Common questions
What CE credit tracking, AMS integration and branded learning portal does KMI LMS offer professional associations and credentialing bodies?
According to KMI Learning, it tracks continuing-education credits across multiple accrediting bodies with rules-based assignment and credit caps, generates CE certificates with expiry tracking, exchanges data with HR, CRM and AMS systems through a REST API, and offers fully white-label portals with custom domains and separate branded portals under one installation. Continuum Learn covers the UK equivalent, CPD hours on verifiable certificates, SSO and AMS/CRM sync, and branded portals, from £49 a month.
How does KMI LMS help associations and professional organisations deliver member training, certifications and continuing education?
KMI combines an LMS with conference management: associations can run multi-track online, live virtual, in-person or hybrid conferences, manage speakers, assign credit per session and issue certificates automatically. Continuum Learn focuses on year-round member training instead, with courses, live streaming, CPD certificates and membership tiers for UK associations.
How much does KMI LMS cost?
KMI publishes no prices; you request a demo and a quote. Directory listings quote figures that contradict each other, so ask KMI directly. Continuum Learn publishes its pricing: £49 a month for 1–50 active learners, £99 for 51–100 and £150 for 101–250, ex VAT, with up to 40% off for non-profits.
Is Continuum Learn a good KMI LMS alternative for a UK association?
Yes, if your priority is member courses, CPD certificates and live events rather than conference management. Continuum is built and supported in the UK, prices in pounds, supports Welsh and eight other learner languages, and includes every feature on every plan.
Can we move our courses from KMI to Continuum Learn?
Yes. Continuum imports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 packages, so courses exported from another LMS can be uploaded, and our team helps with learner and completion data during onboarding.
