Cadmium has been named a Best Professional Education LMS in the Talented Learning 2026 LMS Awards. The recognition covers both of Cadmium's learning management systems: EthosCE for continuing healthcare education and Elevate for associations.
The award builds on 2024, when Talented Learning first named EthosCE and Elevate among its top professional education systems. And this time, the spotlight is on something our customers already know well: when continuing education credit is on the line, specialization matters.
About the 2026 LMS Awards
Talented Learning is an independent research and consulting firm led by analyst John Leh. Each year, its LMS Awards highlight the learning systems that are moving the market forward and helping buyers find the right fit.
The competition is steep. More than 1,000 learning platforms are on the market today. From the hundreds Talented Learning reviewed, it selected 66 winners across six categories.
The Professional Education category recognizes platforms built for organizations that sell education as a product. That includes associations, credentialing bodies, continuing education providers, and training companies. Winners combine credit management, certification, and e-commerce with engaging learner experiences. This year, Talented Learning noted that the category is leaning further into credentialing, continuing education, and association management.
EthosCE: Built for the complexities of healthcare CE
EthosCE is the learning management system healthcare professionals trust to manage the complexities of continuing healthcare education. Medical associations, academic medical centers, health systems, and medical education companies use it to deliver accredited learning that clinicians rely on to maintain certification with state and specialty boards.
With tools for accreditation, activity management, reporting, and e-commerce, EthosCE helps CE teams cut administrative work and focus on learner success.
Elevate: That same expertise, made for associations
Elevate is the intuitive learning management system that helps associations get the most value from their educational content. Associations and nonprofits use it to create, repurpose, and monetize courses, run certification programs, and connect learning to their AMS.
For teams growing non-dues revenue through education, Elevate turns a content library into a lasting source of member value.
