Finding the One

How to choose the right LMS for your organisation

‍

When considering an online training provider, there are several factors to think about, we’ve listed 6 common ones to get you started.

What to Consider:

1. Features and functionality: Evaluate the features and functionality offered by the platform. Look for features such as customisation options, multimedia support, assessment and tracking capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces. Consider whether these features align with your training needs.
2. Content library: Do they offer a diverse and comprehensive content library, can you upload your own training content. Having access to a wide range of pre-built courses or customisable templates can save you time and effort in developing your training programs.
3. Scalability and flexibility: Consider whether the platform can scale with your organisation's needs. It should be able to accommodate a growing number of employees and support various types of training, such as onboarding, compliance training, or skills development. Additionally, assess if the platform can be accessed across multiple devices to provide flexibility for your employees.
4. User experience: The platform should be user-friendly and intuitive for both administrators and learners. It should offer a smooth learning experience with clear navigation, progress tracking, and interactive elements that engage learners effectively.
5. Support and customer service: Research the level of customer support and service provided. Ensure that they offer responsive assistance in case you encounter any technical issues or have questions about their services.
6. Pricing: Consider the cost structure and pricing options offered. Evaluate whether it aligns with your budget and offers good value for the features and services provided.
