Q&A: Humentum Learning Management System
FAQs on Humentum Learing Services
Finding the right training tools for a nonprofit organization isn’t easy. So many options exist, but how can you be sure the material fits your culture, goals, and staffing model?
Humentum focuses on strengthening international nonprofits (INGOs) from the inside out, from people management to program management, from finances to risk. We understand global nonprofits and our training platform was built with you in mind.
We pulled together the most commonly asked questions. If you have more, visit our help desk.

What is a Learning Management System (LMS)?
Simply put, it’s the software that organizations use to house, deliver, and track all training and learning content.
-
Can anyone use Humentum’s LMS or only nonprofits?
Humentum’s LMS and associated e-learning services are designed primarily for nonprofits working globally, and a lot of the content pre-built on the platform is tailored to nonprofit organizations with the goal of developing their staff member’s skills. If you have your own courses/content already developed, you can still use our LMS to host and track training.
-

What software does Humentum use for the LMS?
- Our learning platform is powered by People Fluent’s LMS.

I already have an LMS, so I don’t need HLS, right?
Wrong, you still do! A quarter of our HLS members already have their own LMS. They join HLS to gain access to the 1100+ eLearning courses in our catalog, our authoring tools, discounts to eCornell, and more.
-
Your prices are lower than other options. Does that mean you offer fewer features?
Actually, the reverse is true. Our pricing is thanks to our wonderful partnerships. We work with the world’s leading eLearning companies including PeopleFluent, Articulate, SkillSoft, the Learning Guild, Speexx, and so many more. They provide their products through their partnership with us at no or low cost, and HLS subscribers pay one low price to access everything, all in one place.
