Course Academy
Your own online academy, from catalogue to diploma
Publish your courses, let students pay and enrol on their own, teach live groups and issue diplomas automatically. We recommend a Moodle academy, set up for you by an experienced local partner, with payments going straight into your own account.
Selling courses online takes more than a video page. Students need to find the right course, pay without friction and start straight away. Live groups need dates and recordings. And when someone finishes, they expect a diploma with your name on it. Course Academy puts all of that in one place, under your brand.
Experienced local partners who set it up, train your team and support you.
Our pick is a Moodle 4.5 LTS academy: your catalogue, online enrolment and payment, groups with live classes (BigBlueButton or plugNmeet) and completion certificates. Payments go straight into your own payment account. MynaParrot provides the technology and, usually, the hosting; your implementation partner sets it up, trains you and your teachers, and supports you. If you'd rather keep everything on your WordPress site, that's our alternative.

Frequently asked questions
Why a Moodle academy?
Because it does the whole job in one place: catalogue, payment, courses, live groups, quizzes and diplomas, on open-source software. It's our pick for most academies.
When is my WordPress site the better choice?
When your site already sells and you mainly need live classes on your own pages. Your partner can show you both in the demo.
Can students pay and enrol on their own?
Yes. They choose a course, pay online and get access straight away.
Who receives the money, and which payment methods?
You do, directly into your own payment account. Card payments and other common payment providers are possible; your partner sets up the one you already use or helps you choose one. Neither MynaParrot nor your partner takes a cut of your sales.
Can I sell subscriptions or bundles?
Bundles and vouchers, yes. For subscriptions, your partner checks whether your payment provider supports them and how they fit your model.
Can I issue diplomas?
Yes. Completion certificates with your logo and signature are issued automatically when the student finishes.
Can I see it before I decide?
Yes. Follow the walkthrough on this page, then request a demo. We show it to you in an online meeting, with payments in test mode.
Who hosts my academy, and who owns the student data?
The academy and its data are yours. It's usually hosted by MynaParrot, the technology provider; your implementation partner may also host it on their own servers and states it in the proposal.
Can I run live groups with dates?
Yes: a group per intake, live classes in the calendar and recordings for anyone who missed one.
Which live classroom do you use?
BigBlueButton or plugNmeet on Moodle; on WordPress, plugNmeet, provided by MynaParrot, the technology provider.
Can I move my students from another course platform?
Usually, yes: students by spreadsheet and content by standard formats. Your partner checks what your current platform can export.
What does it cost?
It depends on your courses, users, hosting and the services you need. Your implementation partner gives you one written proposal covering the technology and their services.
Who do I work with?
You agree the project, pricing and support directly with your chosen partner. MynaParrot provides the technology behind it.
