John S
Hiring and Training Director
5.0

John S.: Hello, my name is John. I'm the hiring and training director at a medium-sized company, and I would rate Trainual five out of five stars. Before Trainual, we had everything stored in Google Docs or in other different random places. We had it printed off at our locations, but, honestly, every location we went to, the training manual was slightly different. It would have this version, or that version, and, honestly, we couldn't get something consistently into the hands of our employees. Trainual, in the end, was an easy decision. This was because there was a few factors that we were looking for, and I wanted an app, something that it would be accessible to our employees at all times, and also, you could have pictures and videos. It's very easy to edit, and, ultimately, down to the wire, it was the best price. There was nothing that offered to us what Trainual does for the price that it does. Even now, years later, still is very competitive. It always surprised me how easy it was to get started. They still have the same policy now, where you can just sign up for a free trial without a card. You can just try it out, mess around within the system, basically, see how well you can just navigate it without much training, and that was very easy, and then, of course, once you do sign up, they offer very extensive training within Trainual itself. It still shocks me to this day how easy it was. The one thing I would advise anyone that's looking into Trainual is just how great it is, but, at the end of the day, it's still a tool, so whatever you put into it, that's what you're going to get out, and so the great benefit is that Trainual is such a blessing to use. It's easy, it's very intuitive, and, honestly, one of the things I really appreciate is that they're always updating their processes, their updates, and how to use the program. So, again, making sure to be in it. It is a living, breathing creature, so pour into it what you want to get out.
