Trusted to run real courses, at scale

From trainers and compliance teams to fast-growing businesses.

  • The best thing about the system is how straightforward it is to learn how to use it. I felt very confident in creating courses after a very short amount of time. Once content has been added to the library, I can put together a new course in 10 minutes.

    Trainer | GoodSense

  • The platform structure (library items placed into collections) makes multiple course variations very easy, saving significant amounts of time. Easily the best learning platform I have worked with or interacted with as a student.

    Data & Automation | Frasers

  • Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, from major changes to minor improvements. Their platform is excellent and I highly recommend it. Working with Synap is more of a partnership than a transaction.
