How do I export my data and courses from Moodle?

Moodle keeps your content and records exportable, which makes switching safer than people expect:

• Courses — use Course administration → Backup to download a course as an .mbz backup file. You can also export many activities as SCORM, which imports into almost any other LMS.
• Users — admins can export the user list and profile fields to CSV from the user management area.
• Grades and completion — export grade and activity-completion reports to CSV so you keep a record of who finished what (important for compliance).
• Files — download uploaded resources (PDFs, videos) directly.

Do the export before you cancel any hosting. Once you have SCORM packages and CSV records in hand, your new LMS can ingest them, and your training history is preserved. If a course won't export cleanly, it's usually faster to rebuild it in the new system than to force the transfer.
