User Groups

LearnDash Groups (memberships) give you the ability to group certain users together and assign a Group Leader who can track the progress and performance of any user in their group. Groups can have any number of courses associated with them, and anyone in that group will be automatically enrolled into the course(s).

Groups Use-Cases

You are a teacher and you want to divide up students into classes so that you can track them independently from one another
Your organization requires certain roles to receive specific training/courses
You want to sell course licenses to organizations so they can purchase access for a group of their employees (requires a 3rd party add-on)
Your course doesn’t start until a specific date and you want to grant access to all users at the same time
You want to drip-feed lessons to users on the same schedule
Your organization has multiple locations and you want to track progress & performance by location

NOTE

We have launched our newest addon, the Groups Plus add on, which brings extra functionalities to your existing groups. Groups Plus is a premium LearnDash add-on that utilizes Groups Hierarchy to create an Organization. Using WooCommerce, you can create and sell entire Organizations like you would a course and allow your customers to purchase individual course seats within their Organization. Or create a private Organization and enroll your customers on the back end.
