The perfect LMS for the public sector
Government and Public Sector
Public sector organisations are battling against private firms to secure the best talent in the marketplace, while also encountering challenges with tighter budgetary regulation.
One of the key methods of retaining talent long term is by providing opportunities for people to grow and develop their skills and career in the workplace.
This can be achieved by investing in a centralised learning management system (LMS) that can provide your people with access to a series of engaging learning and development resources.
Pre-pandemic, delivering recurring training workshops to staff would have incurred high costs and pushed already tight learning and development (L&D) budgets, in the public sector, to breaking point. Thankfully, online learning provides a much more cost-effective alternative for government departments.
Training can be accessed centrally across desktop, tablet, and mobile phones and studied from anywhere, at any time, including at work or home.
One of the biggest dilemmas for public sector departments is choosing a suitable LMS for their needs. With so much choice available, it can sometimes feel overwhelming selecting the most appropriate platform to serve your people.
We are multi-award-winning digital experts in Moodle and Totara — two of the most popular open-source learning platforms on the planet. Moodle has well over 200 million users worldwide.
We are among a small and highly prestigious number of Moodle and Totara strategic delivery partners and over the years, some of the world’s biggest brands, including Department for Business and Trade, UK Health Security Agency, and the NHS, have entrusted us to deliver their learning platforms, e-learning materials, and employee training.
An LMS is a scalable solution which can grow along with your organisation. We have previously supported public sector organisations with sites that have over 500K users.

Compliance management across an entire organisation
An LMS creates a familiar and centralised hub for government professionals to access, with uniform training provided to all employees.
Moodle and Totara feature advanced reporting tools and functions, which can gather compliance training data in a single location from across an entire department, giving a complete picture of who has completed their training, and who needs chasing. Assessment and grading data can also be accessed via sophisticated dashboards, powered by real-time LMS data.
Certifications can also be automated to award certificates to individuals upon successful completion of courses.
This holistic picture of compliance, engagement, and achievement can also support L&D departments with easily calculating their training ROI (Return on Investment).
Our Digital team can also support your organisation with the seamless integration of your third-party platforms. These platforms can include CRMs, databases, cloud-storage solutions, CMS powered websites, plus, much more.
Imagine being able to pass your training data directly into your departmental database! Our team can support you every step of the way, from consultancy and project management to development and delivery.
Tackle departmental training with multi-tenancy
Each government department requires their own training plan and tailored e-learning content, relating to their area of expertise, but the prospect of L&D teams purchasing an LMS for each individual department is unrealistic due to tightening budgets.
Fortunately, Moodle and Totara both feature multi-tenancy functionality. Multi-tenancy allows organisations to split their LMS platform into departments, teams, or divisions, and provide different learning experiences on a single installation.
These multi-tenancies can be managed by system administrators as independent entities. Administrators can also control custom themes, permissions, and learning content, to provide tailored learning environments and experiences for different audiences.
Moodle and Totara are open-source LMS platforms, which allows developers from around the world to contribute code and build intuitive new features, and our very own Digital team have created the ultimate multi-tenancy plugin to help public sector organisations setup their digital learning on a departmental basis.
‘Accipio One’ is our specialist plugin eco-system that extends Moodle and Totara and takes them to the next level. Our customers gain access to hundreds of additional features which are always evolving to address the real-world problems our clients face.
Our Accipio Organisation Manager plugin can empower your organisation to extend LMS control to trusted client administrators, allowing them to self-manage at scale – so you don’t have to.
Can you imagine the amount of resource and time your organisation could save by allowing departmental admins to handle basic LMS administration tasks?
You stay in ultimate control, but you can now also lighten the load, by offsetting tasks to your various L&D teams. From account creation, assignment grading, and user management to running custom reports and even customising the look and feel of the LMS site.
Accipio Organisation Manager has enabled our public sector clients to hand-over routine administrative tasks to their different departments, while supporting hundreds of thousands of end users with their professional development and training.
Leverage the power of AI to deliver tailored and meaningful content
One of the best ways to encourage training engagement is to provide learners with tailored content that is suitable for their needs.
Moodle and Totara can host engaging SCORM-compliant course content, including videos, animations, quizzes, and much more, and the user experience and user interfaces are intuitively designed, helping your people navigate to what they need the most.
Totara and Moodle also have many native social features, such as discussion boards, forums, and polls, which can be used to facilitate collaboration and a sense of community among your people, all within a unified system.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the content and LMS landscape, while also improving the online experience, delivering efficiencies, unburdening organisations from repetitive administrative tasks, and ensuring the safety and protection of personal data.
Our Accipio Discover and Curate plugin provides AI-generated recommended learning, automatically curated external content, dynamic blocks, and popular content highlights. Your members can engage with content through bookmarking, liking, rating, and commenting, contributing to continuous LMS improvements.
