Managed Moodle Hosting with Native Student Management Integration
SELMA offers fully managed Moodle hosting for international education providers, higher education institutions, and training organisations. When you host Moodle through SELMA, the bi-directional integration between your student management system and Moodle is included at no extra charge -- covering student provisioning, results sync, and compliance reporting in one seamlessly connected platform.
One Platform, One Vendor, One Support Team
Most education providers 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 student management system, your LMS, and the integration between them. This is particularly valuable for international education providers managing complex student journeys across multiple systems and compliance frameworks.
Integration included at no extra charge: When you host Moodle through SELMA, the bi-directional SELMA-Moodle integration is included in your hosting arrangement. Enrolments flow in from SELMA automatically. Assessment results and unit completions flow back. No separate integration licence, no additional setup fee.

Why Education Providers 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 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, no broken API connections after a Moodle update, no compatibility issues to resolve between vendors.
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 integration maintenance fee. One consolidated cost covering both platforms.
Ready From Day One
SELMA's implementation team handles Moodle setup and configuration as part of your onboarding. Your Moodle environment is configured for your courses and compliance requirements from the moment you go live.
Compliance Always Current
Results and completions recorded in Moodle flow back into SELMA in real time. Your compliance reporting always reflects what is actually happening in your LMS -- no end-of-period reconciliation required.
Secure and Reliable Infrastructure
SELMA's platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure with the security and reliability standards that international education providers require. Your Moodle environment benefits from the same infrastructure as your student management system.
Particularly Well Suited to International Education Providers
International education providers face a more complex technology challenge than most -- managing student journeys that span multiple countries, compliance frameworks, visa requirements, agent relationships, and homestay arrangements, all while delivering quality learning outcomes through an LMS. SELMA's combination of deep international student management capability and managed Moodle hosting makes it the most complete platform available for providers in this space:
- Full international student management including homestay module, agent commission management, and advanced finance -- all connected to the same Moodle instance
- Student enrolments from any source -- direct, agent, or partner institution -- automatically provisioned in Moodle via SELMA
- Course completions and assessment results flowing back from Moodle into SELMA for compliance reporting regardless of the student's home country or enrolment pathway
- AI-assisted workflow automation that can trigger actions based on Moodle completion events -- certificate generation, agent notifications, finance updates, and more
- True Higher Education data models for providers managing complex award structures, multi-component qualifications, and dynamic grading schemes alongside Moodle delivery
Who Is SELMA Moodle Hosting Right For
- International education providers wanting a single vendor managing their SMS and LMS
- Higher education institutions and training organisations already using Moodle who want to simplify their technology stack
- 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 rather than paying for a separate integration
- Teams that want one support contact responsible for both their student management system and their LMS
- New education organisations setting up from scratch who want SMS and LMS configured together as a complete 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 and maintained by a single team with full visibility of both platforms.
