What is aXcelerate and is it the right LMS or HCM solution for your organisation?

aXcelerate is an Australian-based cloud Learning Management System (LMS) and student management platform widely used by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), education providers, and corporate training teams.

It supports both accredited and non-accredited training and is increasingly adopted by compliance-heavy industries and organisations with strong workforce development needs.

With functionality spanning enrolments, course delivery, compliance tracking, and online learning, aXcelerate is particularly useful where training and workforce systems overlap. It is often positioned alongside Human Capital Management (HCM) systems to support onboarding, skills development, and ongoing certification.
