Lumna LMS FAQ

Lumna LMS gives an instructor, trainer or academy their own site, where they sell courses directly to their students. Here we answer what instructors and trainers ask before they start: how to begin, how to sell and get paid, how the plans work, and what happens to your content and data.

How do I get started with Lumna?

What is Lumna LMS?

Lumna LMS is an Arabic-first learning management system that gives an instructor, trainer or academy their own branded learning site, where they sell courses directly to their students for a monthly subscription.

Do I need technical experience?

No. If you can use WhatsApp, you can run your academy on Lumna, from your phone as well.

How long does it take to set up my academy?

One sitting. You create your account, name your academy and choose its address and colours, then publish your first course.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You start with a free trial, with no card and no commitment, and choose your plan when it ends.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. You start with an address under Lumna’s domain, then connect your own domain whenever you like, with a security certificate issued and renewed automatically.

Does my academy’s site support English?

Yes. Every academy site runs in Arabic and English, and visitors switch between them at any time.

How do I sell my courses and get paid?

Does Lumna take a commission on my sales?

No. You pay for your plan only, and everything your students pay goes directly to you.

Can my students pay without a card?

Yes. A student pays by CliQ or bank transfer and uploads the receipt, and you approve it in one click to open the content.

Can I sell my courses for cash?

Yes. You issue prepaid coupons that you sell for cash or through bookshops, and the student uses them in your academy.

Can I issue tax invoices to my students?

Yes. Your academy issues sequentially numbered invoices, and those who need the connection to JoFotara, Jordan’s national e-invoicing system, switch it on.

Do my students see other instructors’ courses?

No. Your site belongs to your academy alone: there is no shared marketplace and nobody else’s courses beside yours.

How do Lumna’s plans and subscription work?

How much does Lumna cost?

A monthly subscription in Jordanian dinar that depends on the plan, with no commission on your sales. The pricing page has the plans and their current prices.

Do I pay anything besides my subscription?

No. You pay your monthly subscription only. Your plan includes protected storage for your video lessons, sized to the plan, so you pay no video hosting provider or any other service. The one optional extra is your own domain, if you want to connect one, which you register with any domain registrar.

Does Lumna have a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan costs nothing and stays free for good: no time limit, no card and no charge. You run your academy within its limits and upgrade whenever you need more.

Is the trial really free?

Yes. Your free trial lasts 30 days, and we ask for no card to start. When it ends you choose a plan or stop, and we charge nothing automatically.

How do I pay for my Lumna subscription?

You pay your subscription by bank transfer and CliQ. You do not need a credit card.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade whenever you like. Before a downgrade we show you clearly what will change, and we never delete your content.

What if I go over my plan’s limits?

We warn you in your dashboard when you reach 80% of any limit. At the limit only new additions stop, and your current students keep learning without interruption.

Can I cancel my subscription whenever I like?

Yes. You cancel in one click from the dashboard, with no call and no waiting.

What about my content and my data?

Who owns my content and my students?

You do. Your content is yours, and your students are enrolled in your own academy, not in a shared marketplace.

Can I export my data?

Yes. You export your data from the dashboard whenever you like.

What happens to my content if I cancel?

Your content stays yours. You cancel in one click from the dashboard and export your data before or after, and we never ask you to delete anything in order to leave.

How does Lumna protect my video lessons?

Video plays only inside your academy, through a link that expires after a quarter of an hour, so it can’t be shared as a link. A watermark carries the student’s name and account code, so if a screen recording spreads you know which account it came from. Lumna doesn’t stop screen recording; it makes a leak traceable to its source and deters sharing.

The best answer is to try Lumna yourself

A free trial, with no card and no commitment.
