LearnPress – Prerequisites Courses

What It Does

This add-on for LearnPress lets instructors tag specific courses as prerequisites that learners must complete before they can enrol in or access a target course. It works as a small extension that adds prerequisite fields to LearnPress course settings, enforcing the gated progression logic without touching the core LMS. It is narrow in scope, doing one job and doing it on top of an already installed LearnPress system.

Who It's For

This plugin is for site owners already running LearnPress who want to enforce a linear or structured learning path, such as a certification track, onboarding sequence, or multi-module curriculum where certain courses must be completed first. It suits academies, training departments, and instructors who need to lock advanced lessons behind beginner content. It is not useful to anyone not using LearnPress as their LMS.

Who Should Skip It

If you are not already using LearnPress, this plugin is useless to you, and you should pick a full LMS like Tutor LMS or Masteriyo instead. You should also skip it if you only need simple ordering of lessons within a single course, since LearnPress core already handles that without prerequisites.

The Bottom Line

LearnPress Prerequisites Courses is a narrowly scoped, actively maintained extension that does one thing well for LearnPress users, scoring 67.42/100 overall. The single-rating 100/100 score is essentially meaningless, and the zero support threads mean you are on your own if something breaks. It is a sensible pick only if you are already committed to LearnPress and need enforced course sequencing; otherwise, a full LMS like Tutor or Masteriyo is a safer foundation.
