Built to replace your stack

Stop stitching six tools together

Most hands-on training platforms stitch together an LMS, cloud infrastructure, browser access, payments, automation, and CTF tooling. CourseStack is one platform that does all of it — built from the ground up for technical training.

Today
A fragile, expensive stack
  • Course platform
    Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi
    No labs. 5–10% fees on every sale.
  • Lab infrastructure
    AWS, Hetzner, Proxmox, Vagrant
    Cloud bills, DevOps time, custom provisioning scripts.
  • Browser access
    Apache Guacamole, Kasm
    Self-hosted. Your auth, TLS, and scaling to manage.
  • Payments + billing
    Stripe + custom checkout
    Stripe handles charges. You build everything else.
  • Automation glue
    Zapier, custom scripts
    Brittle webhook chains that break when one tool changes.
  • CTF infrastructure
    CTFd, custom challenge hosting
    Self-hosted CTFd plus VMs and containers per challenge.

Six bills. Six dashboards. DevOps time. Broken integrations when one tool changes.

The lab tech, built in

Hands-on infrastructure you'd build yourself — but don't have to

Browser-based VMs, multi-machine networks, custom images, and CTF infrastructure. All managed, all per-student, all included.

Browser-based VMs

Linux and Windows desktops streamed to any browser. No installs, no VPN setup for students.

Custom images

Bring your own VM images. Pre-install your tools, configurations, and vulnerable services.

Multi-machine networks

Build realistic lab networks with multiple VMs, isolated subnets, and routing.

Code workspaces & notebooks

Browser-based VS Code and Jupyter for scripting, exploitation, and data labs.

Student VPN access

Issue per-student VPN credentials for direct access into your training network when needed.

CTF challenge infra

Hosted challenge containers and VMs with start/stop control. Pair with scoreboards on the same platform.

Per-student environments, isolated by default

Every learner gets their own dedicated VMs and networks. No shared state, no “please don't break the lab for the next person.” Resets are instant. Custom images deploy in seconds.

Per-student lab environments
0% transaction fees

Keep 100% of your course revenue

Other platforms take up to 5% of your revenue. We take 0%. You pay your Stripe fees, you keep everything else.

On $250K in annual course sales, that's up to $12,500 a year you keep instead of giving to a platform.

Migrating to CourseStack has been a game changer. It has allowed us to deliver more engaging, secure, and technically advanced training programs with far less overhead.
Eric Capuano

Co-Founder, Digital Defense Institute
We were able to manage one single course before. Switching to this LMS has been a massive upgrade. We consolidated infrastructure, content, support, payments, quizzes, and course management into a single platform, eliminating the fragile web of third-party tools and manual custom (and costly) workflows we relied on before.

CourseStack has been an absolute game changer. We pride ourselves with offering practical, hands-on learning and education, and without CourseStack we wouldn't be able to deliver that at the size and scale that we do.
