What Is AvePoint?
AvePoint offers Curricula, a learning management system built for corporate training, onboarding, and change management inside Microsoft 365. It offers courses within Microsoft Teams, so learners can access training without leaving the tools they already use daily.
The platform also supports SCORM, LTI, and QTI content standards, and pairs a question bank with automatic quiz grading for structured assessments. User roles inherit directly from an organization's Azure Entra ID, so access permissions stay consistent with the rest of a company's Microsoft 365 setup.
What Is AvePoint Best For?
Within AvePoint's feature set, a notable capability is 'Extensible Multi-Cloud Backup'. This feature secures a vast amount of highly sensitive data across modern SaaS applications and multi-cloud environments. It backs up and protects institutional data, so IT teams do not have to manage separate backup systems for each platform individually. By doing so, organizations can focus resources on student and organizational initiatives instead of managing fragmented data systems.

AvePoint offers subscription-based pricing, which is estimated to start at approximately $5/month. The total cost may vary based on user count or amount of data you seek to protect or migrate. The vendor also offers a free trial.

- Implementation And Onboarding: $5,000–$25,000 one-time

AvePoint Use Cases
Based on what we have analyzed from existing AvePoint features, the following are the key scenarios where this software could be a strong fit.
Learning And Development Teams Building Structured Assessments
AvePoint can be used by teams managing formal assessments often need standardized testing rather than freeform quizzes built from scratch each time. It supports SCORM, LTI, and QTI learning objects alongside a centralized question bank with automated grading. Hence, existing assessment content imports directly instead of getting rebuilt inside a new system.
Global Organizations Managing Training Across Regions
Coordinating training rollouts across multiple offices or business units usually means chasing completion manually across spreadsheets and email threads. AvePoint could be a strong choice as it automates real-time engagement reporting and role-based access through inherited AAD permissions for exactly this kind of large-scale program. This helps the global L&D team manage training reach and completion from one system.
Companies Rolling Out Microsoft 365 Company-Wide
A Microsoft 365 migration often needs employees trained before the switch takes effect, not scrambling to learn it afterward. AvePoint’s library of over 1,000 hours of ‘Bitesize Learning Content’ deploys directly into Microsoft Teams. Therefore, training reaches employees in the same workspace they will use once the migration is live.
Hybrid Teams Supporting Continuous Employee Development
For organizations where learning continues between formal courses, AvePoint provides peer learning and interest-based recommendations. It supports development outside scheduled courses. Employees can access courses through Microsoft Teams and check upcoming courses and assigned tasks from their learning dashboard.
Is AvePoint Right For You?
Curricula by AvePoint is a good option for organizations that need an LMS for employee onboarding, workforce upskilling, and ongoing learning. It particularly suits organizations that already use Microsoft 365 and Teams. The platform supports company-wide learning programs through Microsoft Teams and can inherit Microsoft Entra ID user roles.
Beyond that, AvePoint holds FedRAMP Moderate authorization, which means it's cleared the federal government's security review process for handling controlled but non-classified data.
Renowned institutes such as Griffith University and Kingston University London are among notable clients.

Assessments And Question Bank
A built-in question bank supports quizzes and automatic grading within learning programs. Curricula also supports SCORM, LTI, and QTI standards for importing existing learning objects. This way organizations can incorporate compatible course and assessment materials into their training programs.
Learning Progress And Reporting
Using this feature, administrators can monitor employee learning progress and generate reports on engagement rates during program rollouts. These reporting capabilities provide L&D teams with measurable participation data for reviewing how learners are progressing through assigned courses and activities.
