I recently had the pleasure of installing LearnTrac into my org, this was in part to investigate how the application worked and to help try to solve an issue of Staff Training. I’ve been so impressed with the trailhead experience that I felt there has to be a similar product available on the appexchange.

First thing to note about LearnTrac – it’s FREE! yes FREE

I’ve seen apps promise this much before and only a few actually deliver, this app certainly does deliver. The setup of your Training Schedule can feel a bit confusing at first but once you get going it’s pretty simple to get up and running. I managed to create and publish 6 Training Schedules in a day.

Even if you weren’t looking for a solution to internal training you should take a look, it’s extended to communities as well so if you have a onboarding process where new staff get access to the community you could assign them a Learning Schedule for introducing them to your organisation.
