What it does
Running courses on a WordPress site usually means stitching together a lesson tool, a payment system and some way to see who has finished what. This plugin brings those pieces together. Each course can be sold as a WooCommerce product, and WooCommerce Subscriptions and Memberships can handle recurring billing and member access. Free and paid content can live side by side, so you can offer an introductory course and charge for the deeper material.
Inside a course, learners get a distraction-free layout built to keep their attention on the lesson. You can start from video course templates, release lessons on a schedule with content drip, and set prerequisites so students follow a set path. Auto-graded quizzes with timers give instant feedback, while flashcards, image hotspots and checklists add interaction. Groups, cohorts and detailed reports help you manage learners and follow their progress. WooCommerce is required.
Best for
- Educators selling courses through a WooCommerce store
- Businesses running internal employee or cohort training
- Membership sites offering paid and free learning content
Features
Courses sold as WooCommerce products
List each course as a WooCommerce product and use its checkout and pricing options, with support for WooCommerce Subscriptions, Memberships and WooCommerce Affiliates.
Distraction-free learning layout
Lessons open in a focused course view that keeps learners on the material in front of them instead of the rest of your site.
Video course templates
Start a video-based course from customizable templates, giving you a ready layout for lessons built around recorded content.
Content drip scheduling
Release lessons on a schedule so students receive material gradually over time rather than all at once on enrollment.
Auto-graded quizzes with timers
Build quizzes that grade themselves, run on a timer and give students instant feedback on their answers.
Groups and cohorts
Organize learners into groups for targeted communication and management, which suits cohort-based training programs and team learning.
Course and lesson prerequisites
Require students to complete certain courses or lessons before others open, guiding them through material in the order you choose.
Interactive learning blocks
Add flashcards, image hotspots and checklists to lessons so students interact with the content instead of only reading or watching.

Questions about Sensei Pro
Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?
Yes. The plugin requires WooCommerce, since courses are sold as WooCommerce products. That also lets you use WooCommerce Subscriptions and Memberships for recurring billing and member access, and WooCommerce Affiliates for course promotion.
Can I offer some courses for free and charge for others?
Yes. You can manage both free and paid content on the same site. A common setup is a free introductory course alongside paid courses sold as WooCommerce products or included with a subscription or membership.
How do quizzes and student tracking work?
Quizzes can be graded automatically, run on a timer and show instant feedback. Student management and reporting tools let you monitor each learner's progress and see how your courses are performing overall.
Can I control the order in which students take lessons?
Yes. Prerequisites let you lock a course or lesson until another is completed, and content drip releases lessons on a schedule. Together these let you set a clear learning path and pace.
Is Sensei Pro free?
The code of Sensei Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
How do I update Sensei Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Sensei Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
What does Sensei Pro need?
Sensei Pro needs WooCommerce installed and active.
