GreenLight is a versatile software that is widely used throughout organizations to streamline and monitor various training initiatives. With its Training Calendar, Catalog, Reports, History, References, Learning Plans, and Qualifications features, GreenLight enables users to efficiently set up and track live classroom, virtual, and online training events. The software is particularly valued by the Corporate Training department as it allows them to direct trainings to all employees, especially compliance trainings. By utilizing GreenLight, organizations can effectively track completion of compliance trainings for auditing purposes.

Field employees appreciate the user-friendly interface of GreenLight, which ensures a seamless training experience. McLeod Health relies on GreenLight to manage their comprehensive employee training programs, encompassing both e-learning modules and instructor-led courses. The software plays a crucial role in delivering mandatory training qualifications to meet regulatory requirements and also offers optional training opportunities for employee growth and development. It is widely embraced across the organization for administering annual training updates and job-specific training.

HR and compliance departments find immense value in using GreenLight to administer and monitor trainings. SilkRoad Learning, an integral part of GreenLight, provides a centralized platform for staff training modules and aids in identifying learning gaps. Managers can customize courses, establish learning benchmarks, and effortlessly track progress using this tool. Additionally, GreenLight assists organizations in managing certification drives and generating compliance reports by providing easy exam management capabilities.

Employing GreenLight ensures standardized training across the entire company as well as international sister companies. Brooks Rehabilitation heavily relies on the software for mandatory compliance training and efficient course sign-ups for both in-class and clinical courses. SilkRoad Learning also proves to be a valuable asset for educating colleagues on company policies and social responsibilities. By streamlining the training processes and facilitating efficient implementation of updates, SilkRoad Learning enhances overall efficiency in ensuring compliance, assigning training modules, monitoring progress, and achieving organizational goals.

Intuitive and Easy to Navigate: Several users have found the GreenLight LMS to be intuitive and easy to navigate, especially after taking the hosted admin training. This has allowed them to quickly set up training activities and events for their organization.

Good Support Availability: Many reviewers appreciate the availability of good support provided by GreenLight. They mention that they can easily reach out for help if needed, which greatly enhances their user experience.

Fully SCORM Compliant: Users praise GreenLight for being fully SCORM compliant, enabling them to set up and publish advanced eCourses on the site. The ability to assign and track completion of these courses is straightforward, making it a valuable feature for managing online learning.

Limited Enrollment Capability: Some users have expressed frustration with the current system's limitation on enrolling in multiple events or sessions of the same course, as it only allows for one enrollment per training activity. This has made it difficult for them to set up and track completion of multiple enrollments and they suggest a more streamlined process.

Inaccessible Training Documents: Users have requested the ability to search for and download training documents in the Media Bank, as currently they are only accessible under 'Training References' and are not searchable. They believe that training documents should be set up in the catalog as training documents, which can be linked to, searched for, and downloaded on demand.

Lack of Customizability: Several users feel that there is limited flexibility in customizing notifications within the software. They suggest improvements such as creating customized messages for individual elements of a qualification and having one qualification contain both certification and recertification requirements. Additionally, they find the software lacking in terms of customization abilities overall compared to other platforms they have used.

SilkRoad Learning is [the] best tool to provide training to the new joiners [and] for making colleagues aware of all the corporate policies and its social responsibilities. All the programs are being conducted to fulfill the CSR of the company. It's a good tool to introduce/train colleagues for any change/updates in the policies and processes of the company.

Fine but boring

Very easy to use for new employees so that we have to do almost no introductory training, we can just tell them to set themselves up which makes it great for a business with a lot of very short term causal staff who have to do a lot of health and safety training and familiarisation training each time they restart teaching. Very self-explanatory and easy to follow. We don't really like the look of it so don't use it for any customer or student-facing activities. We can't seem to get it to interact with flash so that makes it less useful sometimes.

SilkRoad Learning is well suited for training across multiple job functions, locations, and workday environments. It's able to be completed on many hardware platforms, in any location. I was able to access from phone, iPad, or laptop. Lessons could be done in an airport waiting for a flight - or on vacation. Learning is a continuous process and this meets you where you are.

I'm a huge fan of GreenLight and what it provides our training department. We frequently need to have candidates with large numbers of certifications and have all of those on file. Setting up GreenLight courses to confirm those certifications and to administer continuing education helps us manage hundreds of items.

GreenLight is well suited for delivery of e-learning modules to meet the training requirements of our organization. The system works well to deliver modules to employees at all of our locations and the reporting feature allows for easy tracking of training compliance.

It is very well suited as a web based LMS. They have excellent customer service and support. Ask about the reporting features - these are challenging in many LMS applications. The training they provided for administrators is also very good. Overall a great company, and they are constantly working to improve the product.

Verify that all Silkroad products are compatible with your payroll processing program. We were assured our version of ADP was compatible for imports from Red Carpet and found out later down the road that it is not. This affects the Greenlight side in that the new hire files must be moved manually to ADP once entered into Red Carpet. This causes a delay (sometimes 3-5 days) in the creation of the Greenlight training account for the new hire. Our new field employees must have completed certain of our compliance training courses before they can make any transactions in the centers.

GreenLight works well with tracking compliance training. During the selection process I would ask pointed questions about support. Our implementation went well (Dave M. did an excellent job) and the technical help is very good, however, it appears they are understaffed.

Without having any experience with any other LMS' I can't really say completely. If the person is looking for a full featured system for courses or a place for users to sign up for training sessions, GreenLight is perfect. But getting to a place of knowledge where you're comfortable creating those scenarios is a very long road.

Mediocre LMS

If your company has any specific needs that are at all varied from what is "typical," then you need to ask about this on the front end. GreenLight's support is very slow (think: 1 month for a response), and it can get very frustrating if you have to deviate from their norm.
