Coming Soon in the new Learning Management System (LMS)
Exciting new LMS features that make managing assignments easier and more efficient! If you aren’t on the new LMS, Contact Us to schedule your migration!
- Mandatory Flags: Students can easily see which courses must be completed. The eLearning coordinator can set each assignment as Mandatory or Optional, and this status will be clearly displayed on the student’s To-Do screen—so everyone knows what to prioritize. Plus, use these flags to filter reports like Course Status and Compliance for sharper insights.
- Assignment Edit: Need to update assignments for one student or many? Soon you’ll be able to quickly mark classroom training as complete or adjust Target Dates—all from one convenient place. Perfect for keeping your training records accurate and up to date.
Stay tuned for these new features designed to make training management simpler and more effective!

Simplify Employee Management with Student Import
Student Import is an advanced employee management tool designed to streamline the process of managing new hires, existing employees, and terminations.
With seamless integration into your payroll system, Student Import ensures that employee data is imported and updated nightly. This information is then automatically reflected in the Learning Management System (LMS), ensuring that your records are always up-to-date. This automation reduces the burden on your HR department, allowing them to concentrate on other important responsibilities, enhancing overall productivity.
For more information or to add Student Import to your current setup, Contact Us today!
More Than a Score: Listening, Observing, and Feeling Your Facility’s Culture
Genuine work culture is built in moments, not measured in metrics. It’s in the tone of a shift change, the laughter (or silence) in the halls, and the way your team connects. See how to read the signs—and act on them, read the blog.
Knowledge Checks
Knowledge Checks are short, engaging 2-to-7 minute courses designed to orient experienced staff and support their ongoing mandatory training. They help organizations streamline training time while maintaining compliance.
For a complete listing of all the Knowledge Checks, see the course catalog.
