Trakstar Learn was initially just for the company safety training. It was used for annual training for employees and for new hires. Since then our company has found uses for it everywhere. Its now used for HR training, security training, and work instruction training. After Covid, when in-person training was not an option, more training was done virtually. It has come in handy during audits when records were requested. You could pull up the training they took, their score, and the date quickly and easily.
  • Training
  • Tracking records
  • Sending out policy updates
  • grouping modules and courses into subfolders/categories (i.e. a safety folder, an HR folder, and a work instruction folder.
  • when adding questions, being able to drag and drop the questions individually as well as the slides.
Trakstar learn in great for any company wide training that needs to be done. It can let people take it at their own pace and at their own leisure.

We use it to deliver client-specific training prior to our employees going on-site—safety training for basic, intermediate, field, etc. We also use it to for training on how to use our internal business system. This includes: entering timesheets and expenses, approving timesheet and expenses, creating proposals, etc. Finally, we use it for HR level training for new hires, and annual ethics, etc. It is more of a company-wide training tool, but we do have department-specific training in use as well. For safety training, it is especially important to be able to provide the completion certificates to our clients outside compliance sites to verify we are training our employees in required safety programs/topics.
  • You are able to create groups for your employees so that you can quickly assign groups to training courses rather than grabbing employees individually each time.
  • You can import training packs in several formats and create custom quizzes either throughout the training or at the end with multiple question formats.
  • You can add surveys to your courses as well, but getting the survey data back out is not as straight forward as it should be. You have to click around to find it because just printing the results in the course does not automatically include the survey results.
  • You have no control over the passwords. Yes, the user is able to click a "Forgot Password" link on the login page, but we have had many problems with the user not receiving the email, so then they are stuck, and we have no other alternative to help them get into the system.
We use Mindflash for a lot of our internal training needs, and it is very versatile to accomplish your needs in training employees in a variety of different areas. I've never tried to use it for external needs, but I feel like the software at the advanced level wouldn't suit that need very well at all. At the Pro level, you get a lot more flexibility, but the cost is prohibitive for the size of our company.

  • The biggest ROI is being able to provide certificates for safety training. Prior to using Mindflash, this was a very cumbersome process to track employee training status in general, and for specific areas. The previous process didn't cost us anything, but it was admittedly very flawed and inconsistent.
  • Since we already have Mindflash available to satisfy necessary internal training, we end up using it more and more for many items that we would have typically just sent in emails for employee consumption. Mindflash allows us to see who actually went through the material, so even in cases where it isn't necessarily "training," we have put these items into Mindflash to help with keeping track of compliance items.
The only other training platform similar to Mindflash that I have used is RedVector. However, we use that platform entirely differently than Mindflash. RedVector has a very large available library for our users to stay current on their PDU/education credits for their PE and PMP licenses. It does have the option to build training within it as well, but we have not used that feature because it is more focused on providing external training for others.
Any problems or questions we have had with Mindflash have been handled promptly and effectively. I normally use the online chat option but have had to correspond with them through email and phone as well. We have never had an issue languish for weeks or months with Mindflash. They either fix the problem or let you know that the software isn't capable to handle the need at that point.

We use Mindflash to train our employees as well as train our customers as they onboard into our own program.
  • Easy creation of content
  • Simple distribution to customers and team members
  • Addition of new learners into the platform is easy and safe
  • Mindflash would be even better if it integrated with more platforms
  • I wish I could store more detailed content for my learners
  • Built-in rewards systems would be helpful
Mindflash is great for teams that have repeated processes for learning or onboarding. It's not great for 'scoring' someone's job roles.

Mindflash is being used by our entire organization for all training, learning, and development tracking. We do a lot of compliance training since we are a highly regulated industry and Mindflash has helped immensely due to its simple but very robust reporting capabilities.
  • Mindflash is very clean and user-friendly. Very easy for learners to navigate and understand.
  • Mindflash’s reporting tool is unmatched. You can pull any type of report you could want or need.
  • Customer service is top-notch. From our Sales Executive to our CSM, all the way up to the VP, our experience has been amazing.
  • The live event/classroom training functionality is pretty basic. Would like to see options to enter date/times of training.
  • Automatic calendar invites sent to registrants for live training would be great. I think they are working on this functionality in the near future.
  • Mindflash recently changed from s courses and series structure to modules and courses. I liked it the other way, personally.
Mindflash is fantastic for all types of eLearning. Tracking and reporting is so easy. The system is not suitable for all types of live training but there are workarounds.

  • Our eLearning engagement has improved by about 25% over last year.
  • We have been able to provide our compliance department with 100% error free training completion reports since we implemented Mindflash.
The ease of use for both learners and administrators in Mindflash is unbeatable in my opinion. The system may not have all the fancy bells and whistles that Cornerstone or Litmos has but we didn’t need all that and honestly, it was all getting in the way.
