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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
- 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.
