The Kiwi-founded LMS specialist becomes one of only two Premium Moodle Certified Partners in New Zealand, with authorisation to implement and support Moodle Workplace, the enterprise edition of the world’s most widely deployed open-source LMS.Wellington / LONDON, 17 MARCH 2026 — Accipio, a UK-headquartered Moodle and Totara specialist with a growing presence in New Zealand, today announced that it has been awarded Premium Moodle Certified Partner status in New Zealand by Moodle. The certification makes Accipio one of only two Premium partners authorised to deliver Moodle Workplace in the New Zealand market. 

The announcement marks a significant expansion for Accipio and a meaningful moment for New Zealand’s eLearning community. As a Premium Moodle Certified Partner, Accipio is authorised to implement, configure, and support the full Moodle product portfolio, including Moodle Workplace, the enterprise edition of the platform that adds multi-tenancy, automated learning pathways, competency frameworks, and advanced workforce development capability to the standard Moodle core. 

Accipio’s New Zealand operation is led locally by Austen Sinclair and supported by the company’s full technical and professional services team in the UK, providing clients with both on-the-ground presence and access to one of the most experienced Moodle and Totara practices in Europe. [/vc_column_text]

Becoming a Moodle Certified Partner in New Zealand is both a strategic milestone and a personal one for Accipio. As a Kiwi-founded company, expanding into Aotearoa feels like a homecoming, returning with serious scale and experience. We see significant opportunity in New Zealand, particularly around Moodle Workplace. It is a powerful enterprise grade learning solution. We believe organisations here are ready to leverage Workplace properly. And not just as an LMS, but as a scalable workforce development and commercial learning platform.

Sascha Benson-Cooper, CEO and Founder, Accipio

Joining Accipio's team just as we've achieved Premium Partner status feels like the right moment to be here. I've worked in the NZ eLearning space long enough to know where the genuine gaps are, and I've worked alongside Accipio long enough to know we can fill them. This isn't about adding another vendor to the market—it's about raising the standard for what's possible when learning platforms are treated as serious business infrastructure.

Austen Sinclair, New Zealand Lead, Accipio

Moodle Premium Certified Partners are recognised for their technical expertise, strong service capability, and commitment to the Moodle ecosystem. With Accipio’s experience in delivering comprehensive learning platforms and supporting organisations adopting Moodle solutions, we look forward to seeing them help more institutions and businesses across New Zealand realise the full potential of the Moodle platform.
