Managed Moodle Hosting for Australian RTOs -- Integration Included
SELMA offers fully managed Moodle hosting on SELMA infrastructure, purpose-built for Australian RTOs and training providers. When you host Moodle through SELMA, the bi-directional integration between SELMA and Moodle is included at no extra charge -- with assessment results and unit completions flowing back into SELMA automatically for AVETMISS reporting and state funding compliance.
One Platform, One Vendor, One Support Team for Australian RTOs
Most Australian RTOs manage their student management system and their Moodle instance through separate vendors -- separate hosting arrangements, separate support relationships, and separate billing. When something goes wrong at the integration point, each vendor points to the other. SELMA's managed Moodle hosting eliminates this entirely. When you host Moodle through SELMA, we own the full stack -- your SMS, your LMS, and the integration between them -- with one AU-based support team responsible for everything.
Integration included at no extra charge:
When you host Moodle through SELMA, the bi-directional SELMA-Moodle integration is included in your hosting arrangement. Student enrolments provision Moodle access automatically. Assessment results and unit completions flow back into SELMA for AVETMISS reporting and state funding reconciliation. No separate integration licence, no additional setup fee.
What SELMA's Managed Moodle Hosting Includes for Australian RTOs
Why Australian RTOs Choose SELMA for Moodle Hosting
No More Vendor Finger-Pointing
When your SMS and LMS are hosted separately, integration issues fall in the gap between two support teams. With SELMA managing both, there is one AU-based team accountable for the entire platform -- with full visibility of both systems.
Integration That Stays Working
Because SELMA manages both platforms, the integration is maintained as both systems are updated. No version mismatches after a Moodle update, no compatibility issues between vendors to debug at a critical reporting deadline.
Integration Included -- No Extra Cost
The bi-directional SELMA-Moodle integration is included when you host Moodle through SELMA. No separate integration licence. No ongoing maintenance fee. One consolidated cost covering both platforms.
Ready From Day One
SELMA's AU-based implementation team handles Moodle setup and configuration as part of your onboarding. Your Moodle environment is configured for your RTO's courses and AVETMISS requirements from the moment you go live.
AVETMISS Always Current
Assessment results and unit completions recorded in Moodle flow back into SELMA in real time. Your AVETMISS NAT files and state funding reports are always based on live data -- no manual reconciliation at reporting time.
Australian Data Hosting
SELMA's platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure in Australia. Your Moodle environment and all student data remains on Australian soil, meeting the data residency expectations of Australian RTOs and their students.
How Moodle Hosting Fits Into Your RTO's Compliance Workflow
For Australian RTOs, the connection between LMS delivery and AVETMISS compliance reporting is critical. Every unit completion and assessment outcome recorded in Moodle has a corresponding AVETMISS record that needs to be accurate, timely, and complete. When Moodle is hosted separately from your SMS, this connection depends on integration that two different vendors are jointly responsible for maintaining. When Moodle is hosted through SELMA, the connection is owned by one team and built into the platform:
Unit completions recorded in Moodle update SELMA's enrolment records in real time
Assessment outcomes feed directly into AVETMISS NAT file generation without manual transfer
State funding contract reconciliation draws on live Moodle completion data automatically
USI verification and training.gov.au unit data maintained in SELMA drives Moodle course structure
AI workflow automation can trigger compliance actions based on Moodle events -- statement of attainment generation, NCVER submission flags, state funding eligibility checks, and more
Who Is SELMA Moodle Hosting Right For
Australian RTOs already using Moodle who want to simplify their technology stack into a single vendor arrangement
RTOs moving to SELMA from another SMS who want to keep Moodle for course delivery without managing a separate hosting relationship
Organisations moving to SELMA who want to keep Moodle for course delivery without managing a separate hosting relationship
Providers who want the SELMA-Moodle integration included at no extra charge rather than paying for a separate integration
Teams that want one AU-based support contact responsible for both their student management system and their LMS
New RTOs setting up from scratch who want SMS and LMS configured together as a complete AVETMISS-compliant solution from day one
Already Hosting Moodle Elsewhere
If you have an existing Moodle instance hosted with another provider, SELMA can still connect to it via bi-directional integration -- the integration is available for externally hosted Moodle installations. Moving your Moodle hosting to SELMA is optional, not required. The advantage of hosting with SELMA is that the integration is included at no extra charge, maintained by a single AU-based team, and your compliance data is never at risk from an integration outage between two separate vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01.
What does managed Moodle hosting mean for our RTO?
SELMA manages your Moodle environment on your behalf -- hosting it on SELMA's Australian infrastructure, handling the initial setup and configuration, and maintaining the platform as part of your ongoing subscription. Your trainers and students use Moodle as normal for course delivery and assessments while SELMA handles the underlying infrastructure and keeps your SMS and LMS working together for AVETMISS compliance.
- 02.
Is the SELMA-Moodle integration really included at no extra charge?
Yes -- when you host Moodle through SELMA, the bi-directional integration between SELMA and Moodle is included in your hosting arrangement at no additional cost. There is no separate integration licence and no ongoing integration maintenance fee. The integration is set up as part of your onboarding and maintained by SELMA's AU-based team going forward.
- 03.
Do we have to move our Moodle hosting to SELMA to use the integration?
No. SELMA can integrate bi-directionally with an externally hosted Moodle instance. Moving your Moodle hosting to SELMA is an option, not a requirement. The key benefit of hosting with SELMA is that the integration is included at no extra charge, maintained by a single team, and your AVETMISS data is never at risk from an integration gap between two separate vendors.
- 04.
Is our student data hosted in Australia?
Yes. SELMA's platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure in Australia and your Moodle environment hosted through SELMA sits on the same Australian infrastructure. All student data remains on Australian soil.
- 05.
Can we still customise our Moodle environment when it is hosted by SELMA?
Yes. Moodle hosted through SELMA remains your Moodle environment. You retain full ability to configure courses, manage users, customise themes, install plugins, and administer your Moodle instance as you would with any hosted arrangement. SELMA manages the infrastructure and the AVETMISS integration -- you manage the learning environment.
