Compare Cohiva Campus with other RTO software
See how Cohiva Campus compares to other RTO software, and how the built-in NAT importer helps you migrate.
Cohiva Campus vs aXcelerate: an alternative for Australian RTOs
Cohiva Campus is an alternative to aXcelerate for Australian RTOs. It keeps one student record across SMS, LMS, assessment and finance, applies AVETMISS rules through a data-driven engine that updates per collection year as data, and includes a NAT-file importer to bring across existing student data.
Best LMS for RTOs: how to choose a compliant learning platform
The best LMS for an RTO is the one that fits how learning, assessment and reporting work together for your provider. A standalone LMS suits providers that keep student management and AVETMISS reporting elsewhere; an LMS built into a student management system, like Cohiva Campus, keeps learning, assessment, outcomes and reporting in one student record.
How to compare RTO student management software
Comparing RTO student management software comes down to how the product handles AVETMISS reporting, whether SMS, LMS, assessment and finance share one student record, how you migrate your existing data, and how your data is isolated. Cohiva Campus addresses each with a data-driven AVETMISS engine, a single student record, a NAT-file importer and a dedicated database per RTO.

Migrate to Cohiva Campus from your NAT files
