Australian Sailing Learning Centre Modernisation

The new LMS integrates Australian Sailing training content with the Australian Sports Commission Learning Centre. This provides a seamless experience by directly linking courses to your Australian Sailing Profile. Learners will have one centralised platform for Australian Sailing, Australian Sports Commission and Sport Integrity Australia courses. 

Incomplete courses in the old LMS were to be completed by Thursday 20th February 11.59pm (AEDT). Communication was sent to all learners with incomplete courses ahead of the old LMS closing to enable the learner time to complete courses. Any courses not completed need to be restarted in the new system.

Once logged in to your Learning account, select the Record of Learningheading at the top of the page. This will take you to the coursestab, where you can view all courses you’ve enrolled in, whether they are in progress, complete, or not attempted. You can also use the filters feature to narrow your search if looking for a particular course.
