What is Trainual?

Trainual is a modern training manual for growing businesses. It provides one simple tool that aims to help users centralize processes and policies, automate onboarding and training, and build a foundation to scale faster. The vendor says Trainual is designed for small to medium sized businesses that are growing quickly and eager to document systems and processes, define step-by-step workflows, eliminate grey area between roles, and ensure that training happens consistently, every time.

According to the vendor, customers can actually avoid their best people leaving, retain and nurture great talent, ensure everybody does things the right way every time, and even get themselves out of the day-to-day grind if they simply spend the time to document how they do what they do in simple step-by-step sequences.

Trainual is currently being used as a resource database and training certification program for our field staff. For the most part, it is used for our entire field staff and our marketing department. It helps us have a uniform program that all business developers can go through to ensure they are speaking the same language when out selling. It's been an easy-to-use program to help make sure everyone is using the same marketing voice.
  • Easy-to-use.
  • User segmentation.
Cons
  • Not a ton of template customization.
  • Wish we could segment users even more.
This program is perfect if you have internal and external teams who need to speak the same language. It's a great tool to store all documents that both teams need, ensuring that everyone always has the most recent documents. It's incredibly easy to use, set-up, add users, and add content.

On-boarding employees has never been easier!

I use Trainual to show other team members how to execute team processes. Each new employee completes a basic company Trainual that introduces them to company-wide structures, programs, platforms, and company education options. Each employee also has assigned Trainual subjects that directly relate to their unique job and responsibilities. We use Trainual to educate employees and to roll out company-wide initiatives or anything where we want EVERYONE to know when a process has changed.
  • Allow for education materials to be adapted to different types of users.
  • Allow for new processes to be made known company-wide at an instant.
  • To allow for "testing" to ensure that subject matter is completely understood by employees.
Cons
  • The subject organization could use work! It's just jumbled and needs folders.
  • It's very cumbersome to have to click back and forth to subjects when you are within a task. I wish there was a larger side bar that could show ALL subjects, topics, and tasks in one glance with drop-down menus.
I have enjoyed using Trainual as an employee, and also creating new Trainual subjects for my employees. Trainual allows for videos to be added as well as images, text, gifs, and more! This array of options allows us to communicate with all types of learners quickly and effectively. I think Trainual is best suited for education-related opportunities such as employee on-boarding, employee training, or education courses. Because each subject is broken down into tasks and steps, it gets super granular which is great, but it's best used for education and not general employee notifications.

Very quick results after implementing

We use Trainual to document our processes. It has been very useful to ensure that we all do everything uniformly and can train employees. Since implementing Trainual we have been able to create a much better sales process and we have also seen an increase in sales. It also helped us with documenting our marketing efforts and training a new marketing assistant.
  • Makes it easy to edit text
  • Easily locate documentation
  • Easy to add pdf's and videos to manuals
  • Easy to create new topics and steps.
Cons
  • Add more webinars for new users
  • Create pdf's of helpful tips
  • Customer success stories
We really liked Trainual at the time when we started developing a sales process. We recognized that we had to make things uniform across our company. We looked around at different options and we found Trainual to be the easiest to use and implement. Now we were able to hire a new sales person and train them quickly.

Best tool for documenting processes

We are using Trainual to document all possible processes to audit them and ensure they're as effective as possible. We are also using it to train new employees. We really like the combination of the different media forms available for teaching - from plain text, audio, and video. The tests are also very helpful.
  • Document processes
  • Test Knowledge
  • Really clean UI
Cons
  • Sinking with apps like Gusto or other payroll platforms where you can track the on-boarding and training of an employee.
Documenting/building processes onboarding and training new employees training existing employees Testing employees and creating "certifications" internally

Get your teams trained!!

It is currently being used to train new employees and retain the current processes through all seasoned employees. It allows many team members to go back to the basics if they forget something. Bringing on new hires find it so much easier to get things started as if they have been part of the team for years
  • Allows us to break up each session
  • Add videos along with other links to each module
  • Give everyone a secure login
  • Makes use of the time people spend on it.
Cons
  • Implementing type form style surveys.
  • Live feedback when someone enters the portal.
We have offices set around the world, and hiring new team members in certain countries makes it a bit difficult, especially now to fly out or fly in to help get them situated and fully trained. This really helps close the gaps in between the distance and training. Makes onboarding a heck of a lot easier.
