Marshall E-Learning is an eLearning consultancy firm that is on the rise. With 50+ courses on offer including diversity and inclusion training, the company is fast becoming a leading training specialist, serving many of the UK’s top businesses and universities.

As an online training provider, the number one priority for Marshall E-Learning is to have a reliable, user-friendly way for each and every one of its clients to deliver learning. Importantly, the business also needs to have the ability to create unique learning environments for these clients in a simple, scalable way. LearnUpon’s LMS proved to be the ideal solution. Thanks to its easy-to-use interface and powerful multi-portal functionality, the platform has become core to Marshall E-Learning’s success and growth.

The search for a reliable, user-friendly, scalable solution

Established in 2002, the Marshall E-Learning team have a lot of experience with different learning management systems. However, not all of these experiences have been positive. Having searched the market, they had tested everything from in-house systems to commercial platforms and found many of them didn’t quite hit the mark. A key issue was reliability.

With compliance training being the business’s bread and butter, the courses being delivered had to be accurately tracked for record keeping. But, many of the solutions made tracking difficult and inaccurate.

The administration was also a pain point. Clients commented on systems being overly complex and that there was too much administrator overhead involved. For the Marshall E-Learning team, when they had shown their clients the courses on diversity and unconscious bias training they positively engaged with the content. However, it was disappointing on both sides if a clunky LMS became a barrier to accessing and completing the training.

A user-friendly solution that was easy to implement became a must. Finally, with hundreds of clients each with their own unique goals, Marshall E-Learning wanted to make the way training was delivered personalized and configurable. This meant each client would need their own distinct learning environment that was simple and scalable to build.

LearnUpon’s LMS: Tried, tested, client approved

After hearing of LearnUpon and seeing that the platform had the features needed, Marshall E-Learning decided to put it to the test. It passed with flying colors.

Primarily, LearnUpon’s multi-portals gave the business the ability to create individual learning environments for every single client. There’s no logging into a generic platform labeled “Marshall’s”, instead each portal is configurable and is branded specifically for the client. Significantly, there’s no limit to the number of portals that can be built, and it can all be done in a matter of minutes – perfect for a fast-growing business.

The admin and learner experience also receive a positive reaction from clients. Features like single sign-on, certificates, and reminders all make training management, delivery, and reporting a much more simple, scalable, and reliable process.

For David and his team, it’s not just providing high-quality training that matters, it’s offering great support to their clients too. That is something they saw and appreciated in LearnUpon also.

For Marshall E-Learning, the business has two big goals: scale and grow. With the help of LearnUpon, it’s rapidly achieving both. Firstly, the number of clients using Marshall E-Learning’s training courses has shot up over the last few years, and this is largely down to LearnUpon’s scalability.

The solution has also helped feed the growth of the business. Clients enjoy the training and how it’s being delivered and this has led to more clients and requests for more courses.
