Learning Management System LMS Top 20

Bridge Named a 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Award Winner

Learn more about why Bridge LMS is highly-rated by verified professionals.

Bridge has been named a winner of the 2026 Training Magazine Network Choice Awards in the Learning Management Systems category. This year, more than 2,200 voters cast over 11,500 votes. The awards are crowd-sourced, so the results reflect what real learning and HR professionals want to see in their organizations’ learning technology. 

What Are the Training Magazine Network Choice Awards?

The Training Magazine Network Choice Awards recognize learning and development and training providers for how effective their tools and solutions are. The 2026 awards include seven categories: authoring and learning design tools, custom content development, gamification and game-based learning, immersive and spatial learning technologies, leadership development, learning management systems, and measurement and assessment.

 

Winners are chosen by combining the total number of votes a company receives with its average weighted effectiveness score. That means a winner needs both a lot of votes and strong ratings for how well its product works.

 

The voting rules keep the results credible:

  • Only Training Magazine Network members can vote, and membership is free.
  • Each person can submit one ballot per category.
  • Employees can vote, but they can’t vote for their own company.

Why Does a Peer-Voted Award Matter?

Many software awards rely on analysts or judging panels. The Training Magazine Network Choice Awards rely on the people who plan, build, and deliver training every day. 

 

When you're comparing learning management systems, the opinions of people doing the same work you do are among the best evidence you can get.
