Absorb LMS functions as our organization's platform for our healthcare professional continuing education system, PHA Online University. It is our primary platform for our members (healthcare professionals who work with patients who have pulmonary hypertension) to access CME/CE accredited enduring material courses to develop their clinical knowledge and skills. The product allows our members to access CE courses anytime, anywhere.

We use Absorb LMS to provide Instructor Led and Video/On-Demand training for our external customers. We needed a public site to display our training courses for customers to purchase and a way to deliver the training. We needed an easy-to-use portal for our learners to be able to take the training and track their progress. We needed gamification and collaboration.

My company needed an LMS for Content Creation for upskilling current employees and onboarding new employees. We also needed a way to house training and informational resources. When using our previous LMS, it was difficult to easily create beautiful and useful content and support from that LMS was slow and lacking actual help. 90% of learning content and resources is made in house. We needed a robust LMS to support this.

We use Absorb LMS for training our employees as well as our clients that use our product. We also host webinars and are able to deep link resources. This product addresses our need for creating learning journeys and certification programs. We also use it for collaboration purposes through the user of forums and are looking at using it for ecommerce in the future. The number one problem this product addresses is our need for detailed analytics/reporting features. The amount of data Absorb provides our team and company is phenomenal!

The City of Roswell uses Absorb LMS for Compliance Training. This is important because it helps employees understand all the relevant laws, regulations and internal policies that govern the function of the City. With over 1,000 employees divided into multiple departments, we needed a learning management system that enables us to disseminate, track and report on a regular basis to ensure that we maintained 100% Compliance. This is complicated with ongoing New Hires, and Absorb LMS is so easy to use that we can easily keep up with the ongoing demand.

Absorb LMS in our organization is used to organize and manage the whole scope of Learning & Development. It allows us to manage our employee's progress, upload all their certificates, and be able to see a full overview of skills and competencies in one platform. Next to that, it allows us to create unique courses ourselves and immediately share them with our employees, tailored to their needs.

We are training learners across the housing sector to become more inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA communities. We use Absorb to reach workers across the city, so we can be efficient in our training reach and ensure everyone has the same access to information. We will ultimately be training thousands of workers across the city to make shelter spaces more accessible for 2SLGBTQIA people.

We use Absorb to distribute training to our internal employees, as well as to distribute product training to our client base.
Absorb is a fully functional LMS for our employees, but truly shines when it comes to our needed support for our client training.
Here, Absorb allows us to customize the messaging and training distributed to various segments of our client base. Our client-facing training takes the form of videos, PDF's, quizzes, and SCORM or TinCan files, all of which Absorb handles with ease and provides accurate tracking for. We offer a variety of free and paid training, with custom pricing for some of our larger clients. Absorb's eCommerce features are robust and allow us to meet all of these needs with minimal manual manipulation.

Absorb LMS has been great to use. Our organization uses Absorb LMS for internal and external courses about our product functionality and new releases. This is the starting point for all new client training to take at their own convenience. When new employees are hired, they take online courses to get familiar with the product.

Our organization uses Absorb as our volunteer learning platform. 4-H volunteers complete mandatory and elective training through Absorb and maintain all of their credentials toward volunteerism. We currently have 1,400+ volunteers who will make use of the system. We are also working toward offering elective learning options for our youth membership. Youth will be able to engage with peers, complete courses, etc. through Absorb.

We created a competency based digital learning environment. This would not have been possible without the Absorb LMS. We implemented the LMS so we can retrieve any training record (sign-in-sheet, test, competency assessment, etc.) within six clicks of a mouse. We are a paperless training organization. We have been through 5 audits. So far, every auditor has been impressed with our recording keeping, curriculums, and our competency based digital learning environment. Our employees maintain and operate the first driverless rail transit system in the USA. Due to the safety sensitive nature of our rail transit system, employee training records is extremely important. Thank you Absorb LMS for making training delivery and record keeping safisticated.

As a national vendor of dermo-cosmetic products, we use Absorb to provide product education for our customers. We are also exploring the use of Absorb for our internal team. The ability to offer 24/7 online access of education to our vendors helps limit the need for in-person training, thus allowing us to manage travel and expenses. We currently use it with ~5000 customers from various channels of business.

We utilize the Absorb LMS to deliver required training and supplemental trainings to our 2500+ corporate/retail/warehouse employees across the globe. We wanted to have a user-friendly, engaging solution that would be easy to use and would encourage self-development and exploration of our training modules. It had to connect to our HRIS System (Workday) and have reporting tools available to managers across the business.

We use Absorb as a way to deliver training content to our staff which spreads across multiple states. Previously, our compliance content was supplied by one vendor. With Absorb, we are able to use a variety of third party compliance vendors, and create our own in-house training specific to our systems and procedures.

Our company implemented Absorb LMS less than a year ago as our company's first-ever LMS. We reviewed several LMS systems and found that Absorb offered the features that we desired at a lower cost than other competitors. Prior to adopting an LMS, our training courses and records were decentralized and difficult to manage. Many of our prior training materials were PowerPoint presentations and not interactive for the audience. Adopting Absorb's LMS allowed us to centralize training records, provided easier access to training on-demand, and provided a more modern platform using video-based training. We were also able to create custom content with quizzes to confirm that learning objectives were met. Having the training records centralized in the LMS enabled our company to more efficiently confirm competency requirements for various industry and customer audits. We were much more efficient in transitioning repetitive training that had been instructor-led to video-based.
