Cohort Learning Platform Review
See what it would take to stop running cohorts on spreadsheets.
We review how your intakes run today — signup, scheduling, instructors, attendance, payments and mid-cohort drop-off — and show you which parts a cohort platform should take off your team. The review is free.

The problem
Great programmes, held together by spreadsheets
Every intake is rebuilt by hand
Signup, scheduling and instructor allocation are set up again for each cohort.
Pain point 01
Attendance and progress live elsewhere
Sessions happen in one tool, grades in another, and nobody sees the whole cohort.
Pain point 02
Drop-off shows up at graduation
Learners who fall behind in week three are only counted when the cohort ends.
Pain point 03
What you’ll get
Five deliverables. Zero fluff.

What teams ask before booking.
Is the review free?
Yes. The session and the written plan are free, with no obligation to go further.
What does Sublime LMS™ do for cohorts today?
Cohort signup, scheduling, instructor workflows and student administration, plus attendance, assessments, certificates and selling seats with enrolment on purchase. Cohort analytics are on our roadmap, and alumni transition is an area we are exploring rather than a feature today.
We already use an LMS. Is this still relevant?
Yes. Most cohort programmes run the LMS alongside spreadsheets and calendars — the review covers the whole operation, not just the course.
Who should join the session?
Your programme director or head of operations, and whoever sets up each intake.
