What Academy of Mine is

Academy of Mine is a hosted, managed learning management system for organizations that sell or deliver professional training, certifications and continuing education to people outside their own walls. The home page describes it as "A powerful, customizable, all-in-one LMS solution built for B2B and B2C professional training, certifications, and continuing education." It belongs on the creator side of this directory, but the creator here is a training business rather than a solo instructor: a safety trainer, a real estate school, a continuing education provider, or a company teaching its customers and partners how to use what it sells.

The company says it has been helping customers deliver training since 2014 and that over 600 businesses across 10+ countries now use the platform. Its pricing FAQ describes the ideal customer plainly: smaller to mid size companies looking for a B2B focused platform for professional training and certifications, with B2C included as needed, that already run some training online and want to expand. The other theme running through every page is customization. The Why Us page tells buyers who need a missing feature to "Just ask us to build it for you."

Building and delivering courses

The platform covers three delivery modes: self-paced courses, live webinars and in-person classes. Self-paced eLearning is the core, pitched on the platform page as training that is easy for learners to follow and easy for admins to manage. Course material is the usual mix; the Public Safety Training & Development case study describes a team that had already prepared quizzes, PDFs and videos and needed a framework to put them in so students could reach them. The Why Us page adds prebuilt layouts, so a new academy does not start from a blank page, and an integrated dashboard that keeps every course in one place.

For live training, Academy of Mine connects to the webinar tools a team already uses. The platform page says it integrates with Zoom and MS Teams so that learners join live virtual classrooms without leaving the LMS, and the same section covers hosting training in person for programs that mix both.

Reporting takes up a large share of the feature list. Admins can automatically track course completions, assignment scores and attendance, see how much time each learner spends learning, and require a minimum amount of time before a learner can pass. Instructors can follow certification statuses, review assignment submissions and respond with feedback. One review on the home page, from Elise C. at ApplicantPro, picks out exactly this: "The reports and the grade books are super helpful in seeing people's progress."

On devices, the Why Us page says the platform is 100% responsive and supports desktops, tablets and mobile. The same page says the company can offer the platform in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German "and many other languages," which matters to a provider whose learners do not all train in English.

Portals for B2B and customer training

The feature that defines Academy of Mine is its multi-tenant customer portals. Every company that buys training for its employees gets its own branded portal. From there the client's admins can enroll their users in courses in groups, set up self-enrollment codes, see course and learner data, review assignments and give feedback directly to learners. The platform page describes each portal as a white-labeled environment run by one or more admins who handle enrollment, reporting and administration for their own people, while the training provider manages every program from its own console.

That structure is also what places the product in customer education. Among its listed use cases are customer training, under the line "Improve customer satisfaction", training external partners, continuing education to help learners maintain licenses, safety and compliance training, and employee development. The industries it names include real estate, healthcare, IT and software, insurance, consulting, legal and educational institutions. A software company teaching its customers and a safety school selling seats to contractors work the same way here: one back office for the provider, one private branded space for each client.

Selling training

Courses can be sold directly on the LMS through a customizable storefront, or through an existing online store. The pricing FAQ names Shopify and WooCommerce as stores the platform can connect to, says the platform's own tool can build landing pages and course catalogs instead, and notes that sales are tracked directly in the LMS. The platform page lists Stripe, PayPal and Authorize.net among the payment options. The FAQ also confirms that B2B and B2C selling sit side by side: a provider can offer courses in bulk to organizations, keep each customer group separate in its own portal, and still sell to individuals.

The home page carries several customer outcomes, each in the customer's words. RTI, a continuing education provider, built an online training library with 300+ courses and now administers all its classes, subscriptions and self-paced courses through the LMS. Its CEO, Lisa Lavender, says "The course library is a big backbone to our success because that's where people are buying our stuff and launching into training courses." Art Merino, the founder of a safety training business, says "I started with 3,000 or 4,000 users. Now, it's five times that," and the customer story linked beneath his quote describes a safety training company growing from 3,000 to 15,000 customers. The Public Safety Training & Development case study covers a provider offering online and in-person courses throughout Florida, with 40+ of its courses adopted by the Florida Bureau of Fire Standards and Training; the case study says that within two years it was clearing almost six figures annually in eLearning course sales.

Branding, integrations and custom development

White labeling goes further than a logo. The platform page lists brand colors, a custom domain used "to completely eliminate vendor ties", personalized emails built from templates that fire on LMS events, and customized learner dashboards, and the home page adds button styling and other visual elements.

For integrations, the pricing FAQ promises "Tons of integrations out of the box including CRMs, Payment Gateways, Analytics tools, Marketing tools, Webinar software, and many others." The home page adds connecting to a company Zoom account, setting up single sign-on, a developer-friendly API and webhook functionality. The site links to public API documentation, a help center, a product roadmap and a changelog. On security, the Why Us page says SSL is provided out of the box and every site runs on https.

The FAQ calls custom work one of the company's biggest strengths and says "We can build your LMS. This includes custom features and integrations, custom server hosting and locations, premium onboarding support and more." The Why Us page explains that some customers need small adjustments while others need new features and complex customizations, and that the in-house developers handle both.

Plans, pricing and services

The pricing page shows two plans. The Professional Plan "Starts at $999/Month" and includes all core features, 24-7 helpdesk support and a Premium Customer Success team. The Enterprise Plan has no listed price, only a "Talk to Us" button, and adds unlimited users, a dedicated Customer Success team and unlimited customizations and features under the line "You ask. We build." The FAQ draws the line between them: Professional suits a team that needs a scalable platform with core features and integrations but no custom development, while Enterprise covers features built for one organization, "essentially acting as your own development team." The site gives no transaction fee figure for course sales.

Support runs 24-7 through the helpdesk, with a dedicated Customer Success Manager on the plans that include one, and the FAQ says onboarding is free. The Why Us page calls it "Award-Winning Support", and Matt Trent of Public Safety Training & Development says "Their 24/7 technical support is amazing." Three services can be bought on top of the LMS: instructional design, migration and marketing website development. Migration starts with a review of the existing system, its data, users and integrations; the home page says the team once moved a customer's transactional, student and course data in six weeks. For a typical launch, the FAQ says "the majority of our customers take anywhere from 4-6 weeks on average", with more time when there is a lot of data to move. The Public Safety case study shows the fully managed version: course build-out from the client's materials, website development, 24/7 live support, custom third-party integrations, development hours inside a flat service fee, marketing help and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.

Who it suits

Academy of Mine fits training businesses with a B2B side: continuing education providers, safety and compliance trainers, certification programs and companies training customers or partners, especially those serving several client companies that each want their own branded portal, enrollment codes and reports. It also suits organizations whose requirements do not fit a standard LMS and who want the vendor to build what is missing, from a workflow to a third-party integration, and teams moving in-person training online that would rather hand over setup and migration than run them alone.

The trade-off is scale and price. With the Professional plan starting at $999 a month and Enterprise priced on request, the platform is aimed at an established training operation with revenue to match, not at a first-time instructor with a single course. For a provider that sells to companies, needs per-client portals and expects to ask for custom features, that is the market it was built for.
