The customised certificate has been definitely a great piece of feedback from the end users. So when the users pass the exam, the certificate they get, they can share it on their LinkedIn profile.
Head of Credentialing and Education | GRESB
There are so many features we adore about Synap... importing entire exams worth of questions at once, being able to have a bucket of questions that automatically rotates to give a unique test to each learner, managing several courses... I could go on all day.
Technical Trainer | Fusion Risk Management
We looked at a few different platforms, but Synap stood out because it was easy to use and provided exactly what we needed for our exams. The onboarding was really straightforward. Will and the team were great at walking us through everything, and we quickly got up and running.
