Managed Moodle Hosting for New Zealand Training Providers -- Integration Included
SELMA offers fully managed Moodle hosting on SELMA infrastructure, purpose-built for New Zealand PTEs and training organisations. 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 SDR reporting, TEC compliance, and ITR submissions.
One Platform, One Vendor, One Support Team for New Zealand Providers
Most New Zealand PTEs and training organisations 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 NZ-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 SDR reporting, TEC compliance, and ITR submissions. No separate integration licence, no additional setup fee.
What SELMA's Managed Moodle Hosting Includes for New Zealand Providers
Why New Zealand PTEs 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 NZ-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 SDR submission 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 NZ-based implementation team handles Moodle setup and configuration as part of your onboarding. Your Moodle environment is configured for your programmes and NZ compliance requirements from the moment you go live.
SDR Always Current
Assessment results and unit completions recorded in Moodle flow back into SELMA in real time. Your SDR submissions always reflect live TEC compliance data -- no manual reconciliation required before reporting deadlines.
Secure and Reliable Infrastructure
SELMA's platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure with the security and reliability standards that New Zealand education providers require. Your Moodle environment and student data benefit from the same infrastructure as your SMS.
How Moodle Hosting Fits Into Your NZ Compliance Workflow
For New Zealand PTEs and training providers, the connection between Moodle delivery and TEC compliance reporting is critical. Every unit completion and assessment outcome recorded in Moodle has a corresponding SDR or ITR record that needs to be accurate, timely, and complete. When Moodle is hosted separately from your SMS, this connection depends on an integration that two different vendors are jointly responsible for. When Moodle is hosted through SELMA, the connection is owned by one NZ-based team and built into the platform:
Unit completions recorded in Moodle update SELMA's enrolment records in real time
Assessment outcomes feed directly into SDR reporting without manual transfer or CSV export
For work based training providers, Moodle completion data feeds into SELMA's ITR reporting via direct API integration
NZQA qualification and unit data maintained in SELMA drives Moodle course structure, keeping both systems aligned with your programme scope
AI workflow automation can trigger compliance actions based on Moodle events -- Record of Learning generation, TEC submission flags, NZQA reporting updates, and more
Who Is SELMA Moodle Hosting Right For
New Zealand PTEs already using Moodle who want to simplify their technology stack into a single vendor arrangement
Training providers moving to SELMA from another SMS who want to keep Moodle for course delivery without managing a separate hosting relationship
Work based training providers and ITOs who want Moodle completion data feeding directly into ITR reporting
Providers who want the SELMA-Moodle integration included at no extra charge rather than paying for a separate integration
Teams that want one NZ-based support contact responsible for both their student management system and their LMS
New training organisations setting up from scratch who want SMS and LMS configured together as a complete SDR-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 NZ-based team, and your SDR and ITR compliance data is never at risk from an integration gap between two separate vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01.
What does managed Moodle hosting mean for our organisation?
SELMA manages your Moodle environment on your behalf -- hosting it on SELMA's 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 SDR and TEC 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 NZ-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 NZ-based team, and your SDR and ITR data is never at risk from an integration gap between two separate vendors.
- 04.
Does the Moodle integration work with SELMA's ITR reporting?
Yes. For New Zealand work based training providers, Moodle completion data feeds into SELMA's ITR reporting via direct API integration -- no broker required. This means assessment outcomes recorded in Moodle flow through to your ITR submissions in SELMA automatically, keeping your work based training compliance current without separate data entry.
- 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 SDR and ITR integration -- you manage the learning environment.
