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.

Currently we are using trainual to house a lot of our training videos and documentation. We have a lot of modules that hold plenty of information for our team and provides a terrific resource for our entire agency. Everyone in the agency is introduced early on to Trainual and the benefits it offers. We used to have all of our training in Google Docs and Confluence. Trainual, however keeps things very organized and the flow is also something we can track. Beforehand we couldn't track how much training someone from our team had done and now we can!
  • Tracks progress for training.
  • Easily determines a new hires competency in handling tasks on their own.
  • Houses all of our documents and videos in one location versus several.
Cons
  • Identifying the users and their roles
  • Access to modules or training can be confusing
  • If you aren't careful some tasks and training can be pretty deep within trainual, and hard to find.
Trainual is well suited for new hires. They can be introduced to our processes and products before testing and trying themselves. Trainual provides for a less jarring experience for anyone new to our team. Every time someone new starts it is imperative that they complete all the training modules within Trainual before doing some of the work themselves. It definitely allows for a smoother transition to the team and work life.

Trainual has help us a ton!

We have used Trainual for our onboarding and continual training processes for our team to make sure everyone has access to the training resources available to them at all times. We use it across our entire organization.
  • Onboarding
  • Video embedding
  • Documentation
Cons
  • Having more options for testing features
Trainual is well suited for situations when you are trying to get an entire team on the same page. It might not be the best for a team of only one or two but definitely good for growing organizations.

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.

Great for growing organizations!

We used Trainual for about 2 years as a startup. It was primarily used within our Sales and Operations teams for onboarding new team members and continuing education for existing team members. Trainual was very helpful in being able to relay information that could be somewhat confusing if written out on paper or on a word doc into something that can be broken apart, given quality image and video examples, and spread out through a whole course. It caters to all types of learning styles such as visual and auditory learners. <br><br>One of the best parts of Trainual was the certificate program where users were awarded a "certificate of completion" when they completed a course. This made them feel a sense of accomplishment and for us as managers, gave us visibility on how long they spend doing the course, how many attempts they made to successfully pass the quiz at the end, and also let us know if they were skimming through the course without actually reading the content. I would definitely recommend this product if you have a growing organization and need a way to get learning out to a large group of people.
  • Course Content
  • Visibility of Completion
  • Continuing Education
Cons
  • More customization
  • Reminders
The best situation is for onboarding and continuing education, scenarios where it wouldn't be a fit would be maybe a small update or a bulletin that can be gone over on a call. For onboarding, this is a life saver because it saves hours of a manager's time which in turn saves money, and gives a waterfall of information to the new hire in a short amount of time.
