If you work in an association, you already know your learning programs don’t look like anyone else’s. You’re not running compliance training for employees or onboarding for customers.
You’re delivering continuing education, certifications, and professional development for members who expect quality, credibility, and convenience. You’re balancing limited staff resources with rising member expectations, and you need technology that works the way associations work.
That’s why TopClass LMS was built specifically for associations and professional bodies. Every feature, integration, and workflow is designed to help you deliver learning that grows membership value, strengthens your industry, and drives revenue – without adding complexity or technical burden.
Designed Around How Associations Work
Associations face unique challenges: limited staff resources, diverse learner populations, and the need to demonstrate measurable impact. TopClass was developed with those realities in mind.
- Flexible learning models. Courses, certifications, micro-credentials, or blended programs are all managed in one platform.
- Integrated member data. TopClass connects seamlessly with iMIS, ensuring member records, CE credits, and engagement data stay in sync.
- Revenue-ready tools. From course sales to sponsorships to continuing-education tracking, TopClass helps turn learning into a sustainable source of non-dues revenue.
Instead of forcing associations to adapt to a corporate-style LMS, TopClass aligns with the way you already operate.
Implementation That Fits Association Teams
Launching a learning platform shouldn’t require an in-house IT department. TopClass implementations are guided by experts who understand association learning programs: certification renewals, accreditation, continuing education, and event-based learning.
The TopClass team works closely with yours to:
- Map learning workflows to existing member data.
- Ensure a smooth transition from legacy systems.
- Deliver a predictable timeline and clear milestones.
The goal isn’t just to get the LMS running, it’s to make it a fully functioning extension of your association’s iMIS ecosystem.
Increasing Revenue Through Learning
For many associations, education is not just a member benefit. It’s one of the strongest drivers of non-dues revenue. TopClass was built to help you expand that opportunity.
- Sell courses and programs easily. Built-in eCommerce tools let you package and price learning content for different audiences, offer discounts to members, and automate renewals for recurring revenue.
- Offer sponsorship opportunities. Highlight corporate partners within learning pathways or course catalogs to create new, mission-aligned revenue streams.
- Scale without scaling staff. As participation grows, automation ensures that costs don’t rise at the same pace as revenue.
- Leverage data for strategy. Real-time reports show which courses, certifications, or topics generate the most engagement and income, so you can focus investment where it delivers the greatest return.
TopClass makes it possible to treat education not only as a service to members, but also as a reliable, data-driven revenue engine that fuels your broader mission.
Continuous Support and Improvement
Associations evolve, and TopClass evolves with you. Clients receive dedicated support backed by service-level agreements that guarantee fast response times and regular feature enhancements.
Each release reflects feedback from association clients worldwide, bringing you functionality that’s immediately relevant, like:
- Simplified continuing-education credit management.
- Robust certification and renewal tracking.
- Enhanced eCommerce for courses and events.
- Integrated social and collaborative learning tools.
This commitment ensures your LMS never stands still while your members’ needs continue to change.
Secure, Scalable, and Member-Friendly
Member trust is everything. TopClass meets rigorous security standards and includes continuous monitoring to protect your learners’ data.
It’s built to scale with your programs, from a few hundred learners to tens of thousands, without compromising performance or usability.
Mobile-friendly interfaces make it easy for members to complete courses, claim credits, or renew certifications anytime, anywhere.
