Building Courses with Tutor LMS Pro
How We Create and Distribute Online Learning
- Markus Pichorner
TL;DR
Tutor LMS Pro lets you build and sell structured online courses directly on your website. Combined with Vimeo or YouTube for video hosting, it keeps content smooth, professional, and secure. It’s the difference between uploading lessons and creating a full learning experience.
Online education has exploded in the past few years. More people are learning skills, exploring passions, and building businesses through digital courses than ever before. But for creators, building and delivering a course takes more than just recording videos. You need the right platform to structure, manage, and distribute your content. That’s where Tutor LMS Pro comes in.
Why Tutor LMS Pro works
Tutor LMS Pro is a powerful plugin for WordPress that turns your website into a fully functioning learning platform. It allows you to create structured courses with lessons, quizzes, assignments, and even certificates. Instead of cobbling together different tools, everything sits in one streamlined system.
Some highlights:
Course builder with drag-and-drop lessons
Quizzes, assignments, and progress tracking
Student dashboards and profiles
Payment gateways for selling courses directly
Certificates for completion
It’s built for both solo creators and teams who want to scale their e-learning business.
The role of video hosting
Video is the heart of most online courses, but hosting large video files directly on your site will slow it down fast. That’s why Tutor LMS Pro integrates seamlessly with platforms like Vimeo or YouTube.
Vimeo is perfect for professional, private hosting. It gives you control over privacy, embedding, and video quality, making it ideal for paid courses.
YouTube can work too, especially for free or marketing-focused courses. With unlisted links, you can share videos without them being public, while still benefiting from YouTube’s reach and reliability.
By combining Tutor LMS Pro with Vimeo or YouTube, you get smooth video playback without overloading your own servers.
Why this setup matters
When you use Tutor LMS Pro, you’re not just putting videos online. You’re building an experience for learners:
Clear structure that guides students step by step
Interactive elements that keep them engaged
Certificates that reward progress and build credibility
Secure payments that make monetisation simple
This elevates your course from a random playlist of videos to a professional learning product people are willing to pay for.
A smoother collaboration
Contracts aren’t only about legal safety. They also make the working relationship smoother. Everyone knows what to expect, which reduces stress, confusion, and misaligned priorities. When the basics are secure, both sides can focus on what really matters — creating great work together.
