Turn your education into the best part of membership.

Turn expertise into education that your members can't get anywhere else. We help build certifications, courses, and learning assets for associations like yours.

Ten questions, about two minutes, and nothing to look up.

72%

of association members are now required to take professional education and training, up from 65% in 2023.

That education has to come from somewhere. When it comes from your association, it gives members one more reason to join and renew.

Get more from your education program

Every association education program has room in at least one of these four areas. The Education Score shows you which one to focus on first.

Most education teams plan more than they can build. We bring the full team when your project lands: instructional design, development, media, and quality assurance. The backlog moves without you adding staff.
Every course we build ships to WCAG AA, with captions, transcripts, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support. It also answers the accessibility question public-sector members and government buyers now bring into their purchasing.
For members who never make it to the annual meeting, your courses are the association. A course that looks dated makes the certification look dated too. Courses worth finishing make education something members renew for.
Your standards, recordings, and experts' knowledge could be sold as courses, to members and to non-members. We helped Canada Soccer grow education revenue 733%, built on expertise it already had.

How does your education program score?

Ten questions, two minutes, and nothing to look up. You get a score for each of the four areas, the one gap worth closing first, and a full report by email. Yours to act on, whether you ever talk to us.

How we help associations

What we do for an association depends on where the pressure is. You can start with one of these needs or take on several, with the LMS and systems you already use.

Certification and education members pay for and renew

A challenge you may be facing
The courses behind a credential can be ten years out of date, with no routine for keeping them current. Updates tend to start only when a standard is revised or an accreditation review comes up, and then the work falls to volunteer experts who have day jobs.
How we can help
We build courses, certification preparation and instructor-led materials, or convert a classroom program to self-paced learning, and your experts give interviews instead of writing. Custom eLearning Express builds a single course at a fixed price. SmarterU sells the courses, counts continuing education credits and re-enrolls members before a certification expires, and BrivaLMS trains thousands of volunteers at a flat rate.
Train and certify customers, members and partners

Your knowledge, current and easy to find

A challenge you may be facing
Members can't find what they need in years of standards, guides and recordings, so some now ask a general AI tool instead of asking you. Nobody on staff has time to keep the material up to date.
How we can help
A Knowledge Manager, a fractional learning and development expert from our team, maps what your association knows, records your experts where a gap needs them, and keeps the material reviewed and current. JoySuite answers members' questions from the material you approve and shows the source of each answer, and its Course Studio drafts training from the same documents.
Capture expertise and put answers in reach

Members who stay engaged between events

A challenge you may be facing
Momentive Software's 2025 research found a 41-point gap between the members who want recommended learning paths and the associations that offer them. Between conferences, members may not use the content you produce. At the same time, they now expect their professional body to teach them about AI.
How we can help
SmarterU sets your courses out as learning plans in a branded portal, so members can see a path through them. We turn recorded sessions and workshops into on-demand courses. OttoLearn keeps what members learned fresh in a minute or two a day. For AI, Practical Prompting Academy's courses can be offered under your association's name, or Philip Giles, our resident AI practitioner, can give your members a live session built around their work, at no cost to your association.

A small staff that keeps up

A challenge you may be facing
One person often manages the whole education program, and nearly half of association learning businesses name insufficient internal resources as their biggest barrier to growing enrollment (Tagoras and Leading Learning, December 2025). Board packages, member questions, applications and the AGM land on the same few people, and the LMS is looked after off the side of a desk.
How we can help
Workflow Engineering takes repetitive work off your staff across the systems you already pay for. The board package starts from the open action items, member questions are sorted and the simple ones answered from what you have already written, and an application with missing pieces is caught when it arrives. A person on your team approves every output. Our LMS services team handles enrollments, records and reporting on your platform, whichever one it is.

More professionals due to recertify than capacity to train them.

NASSCO sets the standards for the underground infrastructure industry. Recertification demand outgrew live training, so NASSCO rebuilt the program as a 13-module self-paced series.

The results led NASSCO's board to approve a self-paced initial certification, the first outside a classroom since 2002.

This course is life-changing for our industry!

Coach education, turned into a revenue engine.

Canada Soccer needed to train thousands of coaches across the country without taking more of anyone's time. In-person coach workshops became a bilingual blended program sold through an online store.

We were able to cut training time in half.
