How difficult is to change LMS providers for large UK organisations?
When you think of large complex organisations with demanding training requirements, NHS trusts are probably some of the most complex. So when the task is not just changing your LMS but doing it to the tightest deadlines, it’s an even bigger challenge. Here’s how Dynamic approached this exciting project.
… with the most Dynamic LMS provider in the UK, it’s easier than you may think
Finished inside
10 weeks
A major acute trust changing its LMS provider is a big undertaking you’d assume. But to try and do it inside 10 weeks? Nigh-on impossible? Well, that’s exactly what one NHS trust did when they decided to switch to the Dynamic LMS platform.
Designed for over
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a major acute trust employing over 8,500 staff across several sites. It provides a full range of in-patient and community services to the local population in the Wigan Borough and surrounding areas.
LMS system
Upgraded
Moving LMS for both functionality and better value
With over 300 courses on their old LMS platform and hundreds of thousands of training records to transfer over, a smooth-running project was essential. It became Dynamic’s mission to provide the trust with a seamless transition to their new LMS platform, within 10 weeks. This timescale ensured that the transfer to the Dynamic LMS was completed in March 2024—before the trust’s existing LMS supplier contract expired.
The Trust increased the functionality of its LMS

The project was successfully delivered on time, on budget and to the specification agreed with the managers at the trust.

"It was a massive undertaking moving all our courses, user groups and training records over to the Dynamic LMS Platform, especially due to the very tight deadlines we had. Dynamic were brilliant, we had regular weekly meetings, training sessions were delivered when we asked for them at the correct point in the project, and the support we received from Dynamic throughout the project was excellent. Following our go live, we just contact the Dynamic helpdesk when we need support and have monthly meetings with Lisa Welch our LMS Service Delivery Manager."
"This was a hugely important project for us here at Dynamic. Making sure that switching from your current LMS to another, smoothly, is vital—not least because you don’t want to lose any information or records. The fact that this project was for a large organisation brought our attention to detail in full focus. Thankfully, with Dynamic LMS, we are working with a very stable and flexible platform and the team here made sure we met the client’s—and our own, highest standards."
