### "Forma Review by NGO into Voc-ed" — 3.0/5

> **Nihar** | *25 February 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The integration of e-commerce which allows us to promote products created by our students.
> 
> **Cons**: We are based out of Asia and wanted to integrate different languages but found it difficult. Probably we did not look hard enough. However, the flexibility of course design is what we require.

### "Reliable LMS with Good Customization Options" — 4.0/5

> **Prabhat** | *21 February 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The thing that I liked most about Forma LMS is that it is flexible and customizable. It enabled us to organize courses and handle users according to various roles. The reporting function was useful for monitoring the progress of learners, and it is compatible with SCORM files, which made uploading courses easier. It is reliable for handling internal training programs once it is properly set up.
> 
> The first setup needed some technical knowledge, especially when setting up roles and permissions. The interface looks a little old-fashioned compared to more contemporary LMS systems. Certain functions are not very intuitive at first and need some time to get used to.

> **Verified Reviewer** | *25 February 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: there is no initial cost associate with it, where if you want to use WP or any platform you need to spend more than $200/year. I like the straight forward course creation and adding a registration page and be able to create courses and share materials between the students
> 
> **Cons**: the difficult process for me was to figure out how to create a course and how they gonna look like for the end-user. I strongly believe Forma LMS needs to create a course to teach how to use the software. Also some of the options you need to integrate with, it would be great if it comes with it.
> 
> Generally, I like it as my students don't have any problem using it and navigating it.
