Training Post - Case Study
Humanistics
Humanistics is a small Leadership Development consultancy, providing training and coaching to Blue Chip clients in the UK and abroad.
What were the major pain points of your process prior to using Training Post?
We were struggling to find a cost effective Learning Management System, which was simple and flexible enough to accommodate our e-learning materials, create individual client portals and link to our online payment system.
We reviewed around 20 Learning Management Systems, but hit obstacles with each one. The solution was a bespoke LMS but the prices for those were too high for us.
What do you use Training Post for?
We use Training Post to host our e-learning courses. Each of our clients have their own portal and this has proved extremely useful as most client LMSs are not fit for purpose.
What is your subject area?
Leadership development, Coaching, Communication Skills, Induction Programmes.
Our clients are blue chip organisations who have large numbers of people requiring development. We mainly work in the Finance, Utilities and Comms sectors
How many courses?
We currently hold around 20 courses on the system.
Simple, flexible, transparent pricing, brilliant service - no brainer

What is your advice to others who might be considering our product?
We were thoroughly frustrated at trying to find a solution that matched our unique needs. Speaking with Paul was a breath of fresh air - he understood what we were looking for and provided just what we needed. He was also a brilliant support during the set up phase, joining us in discussion meetings with Web Developers etc. Being new to the whole LMS implementation process and working against the clock to source and set up the system for clients, it was amazing to have Paul with us every step of the way.
