The course business challenge

Your course is the product — so is the experience

Selling learning means running enrollment, delivery, feedback and records at once. These are the parts Sublime LMS handles.

  • The need

    Selling seats without bolting on a separate system

    How Sublime LMS helps

    Each program and cohort gets a public page with dates, seats and price; learners pay through Stripe checkout, and coupon codes are priced by the server.

    Giving feedback without drowning in it

The solution journey

From listing to certificate

How a course business runs on Sublime LMS, using the workflows the product has today.

    Build the course

    Modules and lessons — readings, videos, files, quizzes, assignments and discussions — in the course editor.

    Set the price and the way in

    Free, paid, application or waitlist per cohort, with a seat price and optional coupon codes.

  3. 03 · Sell

    Take the payment

    Learners enroll from the public page and pay through Stripe-hosted checkout; the seat is theirs once payment lands.

    Self-paced in the course player, or as a cohort with weekly unlocks, live sessions and announcements.

    Assess and give feedback

    Quizzes check understanding; instructors grade assignments and return work when it needs another pass.

  6. 06 · Certify

Product proof

What your learners buy — and what you run

Real screens from Sublime LMS, shown with a fictional demo course business.

Public course page. Every program and cohort has a public page with its structure, schedule, key dates, price and seats left — and the button that starts checkout.

NeedSell seats without a separate system

Enrollment and payment in the platform

Learners find the program page, see what they're joining and pay — and the seat, the roster and the receipt all follow automatically.

  • Stripe-hosted checkout — card details never touch Sublime LMS, and the seat is confirmed when payment lands.
  • Coupon codes — the learner sends a code, never a price; the server works out the discount.
  • Four ways in per cohort — free, paid, application or waitlist, with seats held while an accepted applicant pays.
  • Invoices and refunds — raise an invoice from any payment, and review learner refund requests in one queue.

Outcome: one place for the sale and the learning, instead of a checkout tool that hands off to a course tool.

The admin Payments screen with gross and net revenue, refunds and transactions, revenue by course, and a table of payments with learner, course, amount, status, date and an invoice action.

The page buyers land on

Your program's structure, format and effort, with every upcoming cohort and how many seats are left.

A public program page with its eight-week structure, duration, effort and format, and upcoming cohorts with seats left, price and a View cohort button.

Selective or first-come

Take everyone who pays, or review applications first and hold a seat for the ones you accept.

An application in review with the applicant's experience, weekly commitment and reason for joining, a note that accepting holds a seat while they pay, and Decline with note and Accept buttons.
NeedDeliver more than a video library

A course that feels like a course

Lessons in order, progress that follows the learner and a portal that carries your name.

  • Six lesson types — readings, videos with transcripts, files, quizzes, assignments and discussions.
  • Self-paced or cohort-based — sell evergreen access, or run scheduled intakes with weekly unlocks and live sessions.
  • Your branding — logo, sender identity, portal branding and your own domain, on Sublime Live.

Outcome: buyers get a professional learning experience, not a folder of videos.

The course player with the course outline showing completed modules and a reading lesson open, with Next lesson and Mark as complete buttons.
NeedGive feedback that's worth paying for

Instructor feedback, in one queue

The thing buyers pay a premium for is a human reading their work. Sublime LMS makes that practical.

  • Text, file or link submissions — essays, worksheets, a repo or a deployed demo.
  • Score, comment and release, or return the work so the learner can try again.
  • Notifications with a shortcut to review, and arrows to move to the next learner.

Outcome: feedback keeps its value as you grow, because reviewing is a queue, not an inbox.

The instructor review panel with a learner's submission, a score field, a feedback box and Return for revision, Save draft and Release grade buttons.
NeedKnow what sold and who finished

Revenue and completion in the same place

You can see what each course earned and how far its buyers actually got.

  • Revenue by course, every transaction, and refunds — exportable.
  • Every learner's progress, status and certificate across your catalog.
  • Cohort health — seats filled, progress, attendance and who is falling behind.

Outcome: the sales picture and the delivery picture come from the same system.

The administrator Learners screen with search and filters, an Export button, and each learner's enrolled courses, overall progress, status and certificate.
Who does what

Your team and your customers

  • Learners & customers

    Enroll and pay from the public page, learn in the portal, take quizzes, submit work, read feedback, and download a verifiable certificate.

  • Instructors & mentors

    Work in the courses they're assigned: edit content, add learners, review and grade submissions, and follow their learners' progress.

  • You, the business owner

    Create courses and cohorts, set prices, coupons and enrollment modes, handle invoices and refunds, and see revenue, progress and certificates.

Sublime LMS is the learning and enrollment platform — it isn't a marketing suite: there are no sales funnels, order bumps, upsells, affiliate tracking or email campaigns. The instructor workspace, analytics and exportable reports are part of Sublime Live.

  • Repeatable launches

    Duplicate a cohort for the next intake; the course content carries over untouched.

  • Credible completion

    Graded work and verifiable certificates give your program something a video library can't.
