Dante alternativeA Dante alternative with online learning built in.
Dante is a UK training management system with course booking, a CRM and finance tools. It does not host online courses, so blended training needs a second system. Cademy handles the booking and hosts the online lessons too.
Dante has no step for online lessons.
Dante's site describes course booking, invoicing with PO numbers in its exports, certificate generation and expiry tracking. It does not describe hosting online lessons or quizzes.
What Cademy adds for blended courses.
Lessons, video, downloads, quizzes with a pass mark, drip release and course forums sit inside the course, on every plan. SCORM 1.2 is on Teams.
A certificate can be issued when a learner finishes the online part, is marked attended in the classroom, or both, with an expiry date and CPD points from Pro.
You can import your data yourself on any plan. Dante charges £500 to £1,100 on Essentials and £1,250 to £2,500 on Professional for implementation.
Cademy's Free plan has no time limit. Dante offers a 30-day trial system after a demo.
Dante has the stronger scheduling and sales tools. Cademy has the online learning.

Before leaving Dante.
Does Dante have an LMS?
Not on its website, which mentions no online lessons or quizzes. Cademy includes an LMS on every plan, with SCORM 1.2 on Teams.
What do you get on a Cademy plan?
Every plan has course booking, the LMS, the training CRM and scheduling, and you can import your data yourself. Pro, at £99 ($129) a month billed yearly, adds custom certificate templates, pay by invoice with PO numbers and no platform fee. Teams adds Xero, SCORM 1.2 and five admins.
Can I move from Dante to Cademy?
Yes. Dante's reporting tools export your data, and those files bring your contacts, organizations, courses, dates, registrations and orders into Cademy. You can import on any plan. Teams comes with help from our team, and Enterprise includes a full migration.
How does Cademy schedule trainers and venues?
Trainers and venues share one calendar, grouped or filtered by facilitator or location, and each trainer sees their own dates. Dante's own scheduling checks trainers, assessors and venues for double bookings.
