If you've ever stared at Sensei LMS thinking "there has to be a faster way…"
You're not imagining it. Building courses one by one — entering titles, descriptions, quiz settings, and certificates manually — is exhausting. The Sensei Course Importer Plugin lets you upload a single spreadsheet and walk away with fully-configured courses, lessons, and quizzes ready to go.

Every feature, every field — exactly how it works inside WordPress
Here's what we hear every day:
From course creators just like you, before they found a better way.
Creating courses manually is painfully slow
Writing and saving each course, lesson, and module one by one in Sensei LMS wastes hours of your time that could be spent on teaching.
No bulk import option in Sensei LMS out of the box
Sensei LMS has no native way to import multiple courses at once, forcing you to repeat the same tedious process for every single course you build.
Complex course structures take forever to configure
Setting up quizzes, pass marks, certificates, video links, featured images, and lesson complexity for every lesson individually is an error-prone nightmare.
Here's what changes everything:
The Sensei Course Importer Plugin connects Microsoft Excel (CSV) directly to your Sensei LMS. Fill in a pre-built template with your course data and upload it — your courses, lessons, modules, and quiz settings are created automatically. With 26 importable fields in version 1.2, you configure everything from a single spreadsheet.
26-Field CSV Import
Import 26 distinct fields in one upload, covering every major aspect of a Sensei course including titles, descriptions, categories, videos, quizzes, and certificates.
Course Title & Description
Set the full course title and detailed course description directly from your spreadsheet without touching the WordPress editor.
Categories & Associated Modules
Assign course categories and link lessons to the correct modules during import, keeping your course structure organised automatically.
Course & Lesson Featured Images
Specify featured images for both courses and individual lessons in the CSV so your content looks polished from the moment it goes live.
Course & Lesson Video Support
Include video URLs for both course-level and lesson-level videos directly in the import template.
Lesson Title, Description & Excerpt
Populate each lesson with a title, full description, and optional excerpt — all handled in bulk through the spreadsheet.
Lesson Tags & Complexity Level
Tag lessons and assign complexity levels during import to help learners understand what to expect before they begin.
Lesson Length
Define the estimated length for each lesson so students can plan their learning schedule effectively.
Publish or Draft Status
Control whether each course and lesson is published immediately or saved as a draft, settable independently for courses and lessons.
Quiz Configuration — Questions & IDs
Add existing questions by ID and specify the total number of questions per quiz, all from within the CSV template.
Pass Required & Passmark Percentage
Set whether passing a quiz is required to complete a lesson and define the exact passmark percentage per lesson quiz.
Number of Questions to Show
Control how many questions are displayed to learners per quiz attempt directly from the import sheet.
Randomise Question Order
Enable or disable randomised question ordering per quiz at import time, creating a more secure assessment environment.
Auto-Grade Quizzes
Configure quizzes to be graded automatically so learners receive instant feedback without manual instructor intervention.
Allow Quiz Retakes
Specify per lesson whether learners are permitted to retake the quiz, giving you full control over your assessment policy.
Certificate ID Assignment
Link a certificate to a course by entering its ID in the spreadsheet, automating certificate delivery upon course completion.
Pre-Built Import Template
A ready-to-use Excel/CSV template is downloadable directly from the plugin's settings page, so you can start filling in data immediately.
Single-Domain API Licence
Each purchase includes an API licence for one domain, with a one-time transfer option available if you move from a staging site to a live site.
