Im interested in finding out if is possible to host on line training on my own website. If so what are the methods or doing this rather than having to use another organisations platform and LMS
You can post your files to your own website. If you want to control membership and track activity, you probably want your own LMS. You have a number of choices to put it on your own server (Moodle, LearnDash, and LifterLMS all come to mind as less expensive options for small organizations).
I have seen people try to post courses with custom development on their website rather than using an existing LMS. The problem is that you're reinventing the wheel. It usually ends up being more expensive to create something from scratch than to start with someone else's LMS on your server. It is possible, just generally not advisable for most situations.
As Christy has already written, if you want the courses to be hosted on your website, you can either develop your own LMS or acquire an LMS solution you can install on your website. There are over 700 Learning Management Systems available on the market. What is the point of developing one more?
CMS based solutions like JoomlaLMS, LearnDash and Opigno can be the options. They are developed for free CMSs what makes that affordable LMS solutions.
As an on-premise LMS software can be highly customizable, it is widely used for unique idea realization (in most cases such ideas are more likely to pay off than standardized ones). Installed LMS Software, though it requires more significant initial investments (license, installation, customization, hosting, employee training, etc.) is much more economic when considering a period of 3 years and more.

Think you for this, can I ask a question, are you using any of the LMS
systems you mentioned. Also is CMS (Content Management System).

Hi Peter, I know JoomlaLMS quite well. A highly customizable Learning Management System
Thanks for that Kate

If we're not intending on tracking usage, how can I post a course on my website?
