Looking for a Wisenet Alternative?
Wisenet has served the Australasian training market for over 20 years. But for many RTOs and PTEs, the per-student pricing model, mandatory two-year contracts, and complexity of implementation have become a reason to look elsewhere. SELMA SIS is a modern, cloud-native alternative built for the same market -- without the pricing surprises.
Why Australian RTOs Choose SELMA Over Wisenet
SELMA SIS is a modern, cloud-native student management system purpose-built for Australian RTOs. Compared to older platforms in the market, SELMA offers a genuinely different approach -- transparent all-inclusive pricing, a modern platform built in the last 2 to 3 years, and a team that operates with the speed and customer focus that only an independent, privately owned company can deliver:
- Transparent, all-inclusive pricing -- SELMA charges one flat subscription covering unlimited users and all core features. Pricing is published from $99/month AUD so you know exactly what you are committing to before speaking to anyone
- CRM included in every plan -- SELMA's full CRM including enquiry management, application pipelines, and contact log is built in to every subscription at no extra cost
- Native form builder with full interaction tracking -- SELMA's native form builder lets you create enrolment forms, enquiry forms, and registration forms directly in the system without relying on third-party tools. Crucially, SELMA captures student interactions from the very first keystroke -- not just when they hit submit -- giving you complete visibility of every prospective student's journey from the moment they engage
- Bi-directional LMS integration -- SELMA integrates natively with Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Cloud Assess. Unlike one-way integrations that only push data to an LMS, SELMA reads results back from the LMS into SELMA automatically -- keeping your compliance data current without manual data entry. For organisations hosting Moodle through SELMA, the integration is included at no extra charge
- Comprehensive state contract reconciliation -- included -- SELMA includes state funding contract reconciliation across all Australian jurisdictions in every subscription. Track delivery against contracted targets, manage eligibility validation, and meet every reporting deadline for Skills First, Certificate 3 Guarantee, Smart and Skilled, Jobs and Skills WA, and all other state programmes
- True Higher Education data models -- SELMA includes genuine higher education capability with complex award management, roll-up completions of study components, and dynamic grading schemes. Built for providers managing multi-component qualifications, not adapted from a VET-only system
- Deep international education capability -- Full international student management including homestay module, agent commission management, advanced finance, CRICOS compliance, and CoE generation. More comprehensive than most competing platforms
- Modern platform built for today -- SELMA's latest version is 2 to 3 years old, built on modern cloud architecture with AI-assisted automation. A genuinely contemporary platform, not a legacy system with modern features bolted on
- Independently owned and customer-driven -- SELMA is privately and independently owned. That means faster decisions, a roadmap driven by what customers actually ask for, and a team that measures success by customer outcomes rather than shareholder returns
Included in every Australian subscription: State funding contract reconciliation across all jurisdictions -- Skills First, Certificate 3 Guarantee, Smart and Skilled, Jobs and Skills WA, and more. No add-ons, no extra cost.
