I found it really difficult to manage cohort-based courses in LearnDash until I started using Cohort Manager.
I can easily add new groups and set up their individual unlocking. It’s made this super easy. Neat tool!
Thanks for all your support guys.

“We’ve had many requests from trainers wanting an easy way to deliver dripped courses to their groups of learners over a number of days, weeks or months.
The Cohort Manager allows you to set up the release of lessons and the scheduling of emails quickly from the same screen.
Cohort-based courses are a powerful format that every course creator should consider.”
Super plugin. It’s made my life much easier. I don’t have to manually edit each lesson every time I set up a new cohort.
Best cohort tool for LearnDash I’ve found. Recommended.

FAQ
What can I do with Cohort Manager?
If you want to create a course where each lesson is made available to a group of learners at the same time, then Cohort Manager gives you a simple way to create and manage a ‘workflow’. A workflow is simply a series of scheduled lessons and emails (what we call more generally as ‘interactions’).
Unlike other plugins, you can create workflows from the same screen in LearnDash – without having to edit this in each lesson.
It also allows you to schedule notification emails to prompt your learners to log back into your LearnDash and complete their next lesson.
Why should I schedule lessons and not just make them all available at the start?
Can I already drip lessons in LearnDash without this plugin?
Yes, but this has some significant limitations. Dripped lessons in LearnDash can only be managed for all course content and not on a group level. This means that all learners will have lessons opened to them on the set date, irrespective of when they were enrolled on the course. This is not suitable where you have groups of learners.
How quickly can I set up a workflow for my course?

Absolutely, Cohort Manager is compatible with WordPress Multisite. However, it must be activated individually on each site within the network rather than network-wide. Please note that a separate license is required for each site.

How are emails sent out?
