PathCraft LMS

PathCraft LMS is a learning management system that runs as a WordPress plugin, built for schools, academies, review centers and training providers in the Philippines. The homepage carries the line "Built for Philippine Schools & Organizations" and describes the product as a way to "deliver courses, manage learners, track progress, issue certificates, and support students through one organized digital learning platform". The footer says it was built in the Philippines.

The problem it sets out to solve is familiar to many small schools. The homepage describes institutions running on "Facebook groups, Google Drive folders, spreadsheets, chat messages, and manual certificates", where students do not know what to study next, teachers cannot see who is falling behind, admins issue certificates one by one, and principals have no view of progress across the school. PathCraft replaces that with one structured platform on the school's own WordPress site.

The product is young. The homepage says it is "currently being validated through education and training pilot workflows before wider commercial rollout", and current prices are labeled Founding Customer Pricing for early adopters.

What a school gets

Course management. Courses are built from lessons, quizzes, assessments and modules, with controlled learner access, "organized the way your school works". The FAQ confirms that self-paced courses are supported: learners move through lessons and quizzes at their own pace while teachers monitor progress.

School structure. Students can be organized by school, grade or year level, section, course and assigned teacher, which the homepage describes as "structured the way Philippine schools are organized". The pilot page adds that schools can see "the DepEd-aligned grade level and section structures in a live environment".

Progress tracking. The platform tracks who started, who is in progress, who completed and who may need extra help, with real-time visibility for teachers and admins. The homepage frames this as a way to "help teachers and coaches identify struggling learners before they fall too far behind". The pilot page names the features behind it as a diagnostic quiz engine, personalized learning paths, student analytics, at-risk detection and a coaching ticket system.

Role-based dashboards. There are separate dashboards for students, teachers, coaches, principals, supervisors and platform administrators, each showing what that role needs.

Certificates. Certificates are issued automatically based on course completion and assessment rules. On the Professional and Enterprise plans, the FAQ says, "certificate verification features" let recipients prove their credentials. The certificates are the school's own; the pages do not tie them to any outside accreditation.

Licensing. The plugin is delivered with license activation, plan-based features and software updates.

Getting it running

PathCraft needs WordPress, and the homepage sets out three paths. A school that already runs WordPress chooses a plan, checks out, receives a license key, uploads the plugin and starts building courses. A school whose website runs on Wix, Shopify, Webflow, Laravel, static HTML or a custom build keeps that site and runs PathCraft on a WordPress subdomain such as courses.yourschool.com. A school with no website at all can be guided through choosing a domain, preparing WordPress-ready hosting, installing WordPress and activating the plugin. The homepage mentions Hostinger as one beginner-friendly host that "may be suitable for some organizations" and notes that some hosting links may be partner links.

Three support levels are offered: DIY installation, which the FAQ says is free with the plan; Guided Setup, with a consultation, hosting and WordPress guidance and a first admin walkthrough; and Done-for-You Setup, covering WordPress setup, installation, license activation, initial course setup, dashboard orientation and admin handover. Guided, done-for-you and enterprise implementation are separate services unless a written proposal includes them. Domain, hosting, SSL, professional email and third-party tools are paid directly to the provider, so the organization keeps ownership of its domain and hosting account.

The pilot page gives figures for that assisted route: if new hosting is needed, the school pays the actual hosting cost, approximately ₱3,000 to ₱4,000 a year, plus "a one-time ₱1,500 setup fee".

Plans and prices

Prices are annual and in Philippine pesos. The monthly figures on the page are shown only for comparison.

Every plan covers a single site. The FAQ says you can upgrade as learners, courses and reporting needs grow, and that Founding Customer Pricing "may change in the future as the platform grows", with renewal terms based on the policy in force at purchase or renewal.

The free pilot

The pilot page offers a "Free LMS Pilot Program" for Philippine schools and organizations: 30 days, no credit card, and "the same platform that paid clients use". It includes full platform access, up to 100 pilot learners, guided onboarding with a setup call where the team helps build the first course, a dedicated support channel by chat and email, and migration help for existing course content. Applications are reviewed within 2 business days, and approved organizations get a setup call within the same week.

Eligible applicants are private and public schools (K-12 and higher), universities and colleges, companies with 50 or more employees, government agencies and LGUs, and NGOs and nonprofit training organizations. The page says corporate teams can run a real onboarding track with actual employees during the pilot, and that the pilot approach is consistent with CHED's guidance on evidence-based adoption of educational technology. A free 30-minute live demo is available for anyone who wants to see the platform before applying. The homepage notes that pilot access during assisted setup is offered to selected organizations while the final billing flow is completed.

Who it suits

PathCraft suits a Philippine private school, review center or training academy that wants to move off chat groups and shared folders onto a structured LMS, especially one without in-house IT staff that values guided setup and peso pricing. The grade level and section structure and the principal and supervisor dashboards suit K-12 schools; the certificate verification and gradebook on Professional suit review centers and certification-oriented providers; the onboarding pilot for companies with 50 or more employees covers corporate training teams.

It is a less natural fit for an independent creator who wants a storefront to sell courses to the public, since these pages do not describe course sales or payments for learners, and for organizations outside the Philippines, which the pilot does not cover. Because the product is in its founding rollout, buyers should expect it to change as it develops. For a school that wants a guided, affordable start on WordPress, the free 30-day pilot is a low-risk way to test it on real classes.
