“Very pleased with the service – it was great to work with a team with specific expertise in what we were trying to do (rather than us making it up in-house!), and the output was certainly better and more cost-effective than what we would have achieved ourselves.”

“Our old platform felt like it was stitched together, and nothing really felt like it matched our brand. We could have never imagined our platform looking like it does now. Our long-time users have commented on just how impressive it looks and feels.”

Our successful LMS launches 🚀

Google for Education LMS for effective Workspace training for millions of teachers

Google Workspace training helps teachers to provide better school education across Google Docs, Classrooms and Meet.

This custom-built LMS features an on-brand Googly design, Google SSO and geographically aware learning content to ensure the learning is relevant to all users.

Scalable B2B learning platform with white-labelled sub-sites

FlightBridge provides accredited training to helicopter paramedics across the United States. Although rapidly growing, their SaaS-based learning management system (LMS) was holding them back.

Eliminating pay-per-user pricing allowed FlightBridge to add more users without penalty, and it saw FlightBridge’s technology running costs slashed by around 90-95%.

Personalised learning experiences and B2B tools for an employee soft skills platform

Every learner is different, and what works for one may not work for another, so with Career Masterclass, every learning journey is unique.

Our deep personalisation system understands the learner’s career goals and learning preferences and guides the learner towards the most effective courses, videos and webinars.

Improving LMS reliability and engagement with gamification, UX and custom dashboards

Introducing gamification and improving the user experience are two proven strategies for increasing course engagement and completion rates.

For Rebelway, we custom-built a learning management system that was designed to keep learners interested for longer.

Frequently asked
questions

Do you work with international clients?
Yes, we have a number of international clients and are able to serve users anywhere in the world.
What if we need support?
For the first 3 months, we’ll be providing you with maintenance and support in the form of development hours, project management, training and site updates. After this initial period, you will have the option to continue with this support.
Will you charge licensing fees at a later date?
We’ll never charge mandatory licensing fees for the products and services provided to you under a zero-licensing-fee agreement, although in some cases you may opt-into licensing in order to receive new versions. We will soon be launching new products that will be subject to licensing fees, but these products are optional.
Do I need a host?
Your system will need to be hosted somewhere. Of course, as learning management system specialists, we have a range of dedicated hosting packages specifically for e-learning platforms. Find out more about our hosting packages here: http://plumeproduction.locallms-hosting/
Can you help with content?
Clients are responsible for creating their own content and adding it to the system. Our platforms include a comprehensive range of course creation and quiz building tools in order for you to do this. On some occasions we may add some content for you to get you going, but at Plume, we focus on enabling our clients to be self-reliant, encouraging you to use and manage your system without needing to contact us.
Where are you based? Can I come and see you?
We are based in Bristol, UK with offices in the city centre. We have a number of platforms in place so that we can serve our international clients with any support requests and training. Given the current climate, we are discouraging anyone from visiting the office.
