FrontCore

FrontCore is cloud software for training providers, with separate training-management and learning-management plans. It suits professional providers coordinating courses and delegates, especially those that also need learner-facing course delivery; the main trade-off is budgeting for TMS setup or LMS active-user fees.

Overview

The TMS brings course administration, participant management and training operations together, while the LMS covers course management and video training. Providers can choose the tools that match their needs rather than treating the service as a single all-or-nothing package. Scheduling, registration, attendance and certification tracking, instructor management, waitlists and automated reminders address practical work around running courses.

That breadth is useful for commercial, growing, certification and compliance training providers. Buyers looking only for a basic course-hosting service may not need the TMS operational scope.

Key features

Course operations

The TMS supports course and delegate management, booking, website course publishing, registration and payment forms, and email campaigns. Higher plans add capabilities in stages, including participant and instructor management, digital certificates, Quick Booking, assessments, course evaluations, orders, routine automation, checklists, resource planning and advanced reporting. This progression lets providers start with publishing and registrations, then pay for more involved workflow controls as requirements grow.

Learner delivery and integrations

The LMS includes course management and video training, plus AI tools for generating quizzes, transcribing lectures and creating subtitles. Mobile accessibility supports learners accessing and delivering courses from anywhere. The LMS describes GDPR compliance and trust and security measures, making it relevant for providers that need to account for learner data protection.

Integrations include Zapier, HubSpot, Moodle, Xledger, Thinkific, Visma.net, Xero, Fortnox, SuperOffice and Google Calendar. API syncing and ready-made connectors support data exchange; custom integrations can be discussed with FrontCore.

Pricing

The LMS has a free Start plan for up to 30 participants with all features. Mini costs £42.00 per month for up to 300 participants, Pro costs £83.00 per month for up to 700, and Premium costs £125.00 per month for up to 1500. Each paid LMS plan adds an engagement fee of £0,8 per active user, so the subscription price is not the full cost when learners are active. Enterprise is quote-based for more than 1500 participants.

TMS Start costs £60.00 per month and includes website course publishing, registration and payment forms, email campaigns and unlimited users. Mini is £200.00 per month, adding participant management, corporate training, differentiated pricing, own-domain email and two-factor authentication. Pro at £240.00 per month adds digital certificates, email templates, Quick Booking and an email log for 14 days minimum. Premium costs £280.00 per month and adds assessment tools, course evaluations, customer and instructor management, and orders.

Enterprise is £350.00 per month, adding routine automation, checklists, resource planning, advanced reports and dashboards. Corporate costs £630.00 per month and adds multiple currencies, multilingual adaptations and a global KPI view. All new TMS customers must also pay a startup investment for training and configuration; its price varies by plan and turnover. That extra initial cost matters most to providers comparing the entry-level monthly price with a tool that needs less setup.

FrontCore advertises a 30-day free trial of its training management solution. The pricing note also says 7-day trial, so prospective TMS customers should confirm which trial term applies before committing. LMS Start offers a free ongoing option, capped at 30 participants.

Platforms

FrontCore supports Android, iOS and web, and offers an API. This combination serves providers managing training across mobile and browser environments and connecting data with other systems.

Who it's for

FrontCore is most compelling for professional training providers running recurring courses, particularly commercial or growing businesses and certification or compliance providers. Its operational tools suit teams managing registrations, attendance, instructors and course administration alongside learning delivery. Smaller providers can begin with LMS Start or TMS Start, while the higher TMS tiers target more involved coordination and reporting needs.

It is less suited to buyers who need only a simple learning library or who cannot absorb per-active-user LMS charges or TMS setup costs. The company says it has served training providers for almost two decades, with its original business idea shaped by Norway's training market; customer service and startup training and configuration are part of its support approach.

Pros and cons

• Broad training operations: Scheduling, attendance, certification, waitlists and reminders sit alongside course and delegate management, reducing the need to treat each operational task as a separate requirement.
• Choice of LMS and TMS tiers: Free LMS access and a TMS entry plan let providers start at different levels, while higher tiers add concrete operational capabilities.
• AI-assisted learning tools: Quiz generation, lecture transcription and subtitles add content support to course management and video training.
• Costs extend beyond base prices: Paid LMS plans add £0,8 per active user, and TMS customers pay a variable startup investment for training and configuration.
• Trial terms need clarification: The training-management trial is described as both 30 days and 7 days, so buyers should verify the applicable period.

Alternatives

For a broader set of course evaluation options, browse Course Evaluation Software; for products centered on training operations, see Training Management Software.

Choose IASystem if a campus wants a one-term pilot license or per-enrolled-student pricing. Qualtrics is an alternative for individuals who can work within its free plan's one user, three active surveys and 500 total responses. SmartEvals offers a free Lite option for schools currently using paper and an on-the-go version.

QuestionPro is worth considering for a free survey plan with one user, up to 200 responses per survey and 30 question types, or a paid Advanced tier. HelioCampus Course Evaluations & Surveys is another paid option with Android, iOS, web and API platforms. IOTA360 Evaluations uses customized pricing based mostly on annual faculty and student users, with possible charges for custom reports. Creatrix Campus Course Evaluation offers a custom quote for institutional needs. Eval25 is a paid, web-based alternative.

Verdict

Choose FrontCore if your training business needs course operations and learner delivery in one service, with room to add automation, assessments and reporting as it grows. Its strongest case is the combination of practical TMS coverage and LMS tools, but the active-user fee, TMS startup investment and trial-term discrepancy warrant a close cost check. Providers seeking only a basic course platform or predictable costs without those add-ons should look elsewhere.
