Company employee training in Softbook

Onboarding used to live in chats, in files and in colleagues' heads. Now it's one course, one knowledge base, one progress report.

Onboarding

Onboarding and team training: one program for everyone

For a company this means a new hire learns on their own, and the program is the same for every one of them. You build the onboarding course in the editor, AI speeds up the structure, and you hand it out to department groups.

  • Onboarding and upskilling courses: video, text, tests and assignments
  • AI speeds up building the training program
  • Department groups — a separate program for each team

Progress

Progress and certificates: you can see who has been trained

For a company this means you can see who is ready for the work and who is stuck. Learning analytics show progress by employee and by group, and a certificate with a QR code confirms the course was genuinely completed.

  • Learning analytics: progress by employee and group, with laggards visible
  • Certificates with a serial number and a QR code — a verifiable confirmation of completion
  • The list of people who completed it exports to CSV

Permissions

Roles and permissions: everyone sees only their own part

For a company this means you delegate the training without handing over access to everything. A curator gets their own group, a department gets its own courses, and at any moment you can see who changed what. Roles are configured by permission, and the team activity log is available to the school owner only.

  • Roles and permissions: an administrator and a curator see only their own part
  • Groups and employees assigned to a curator — each one runs their own department
  • The access manager opens and closes courses and individual lessons by group, including for a set period
  • Team activity log: who did what and when — visible to the owner only
  • Privacy: an employee sees only their own group, and direct messages can be turned off
  • A dashboard per role: a department head sees their own numbers, not the whole school

Accurate records

Real people in the report, not one login for a whole department

For a company this means you can see who actually completed the training. If one account gets passed around a department, the report will say "employee trained" — while five people sat at the screen and one of them knows the material. You can't make decisions on a report like that. Turn on the "Allow only one active session for students" option: signing in from another device ends the previous session.

  • One active session per employee — signing in from another device ends the previous one
  • Progress in the report is tied to a specific person, not to a shared login
  • You're paying to train employees, not for one account shared by all of them

Knowledge base

An internal knowledge base: policies always at hand

For a company this means instructions and policies don't get lost across scattered documents. In the knowledge base builder you put together a reference section outside the courses — categories, entries, publishing.

  • Reference material outside courses: categories and entries
  • Draft and publish — you update it when the processes change
  • All in the same platform where the training happens

"We picked Softbook because we needed one platform for selling courses and managing students. What we value most: video uploads, clear pricing with no surprises, and support that actually listens and acts."

Tanya Mykhalchenko

"The team moved all my lessons over by hand — I have no idea how I would have done it myself. They were careful about it. They keep improving the platform, they listen to what you ask for, and they genuinely look after every client."

Olga Miller

"Before we switched, we tried selling video lessons through Instagram, but without an admin it was impossible. Here I uploaded the courses, set up automatic payments — and the system runs itself. The courses bring in steady income without me being involved every day."

"We built a big knowledge base for our students on Softbook. No more 'live' sessions with speakers — everything is recorded and laid out in modules with tests and assignments. Our instructional designers can finally breathe."
