Amazing tool and support!
Amazing tool & service! It was difficult sifting through the seemingly dozens of LMS platforms out there - we must have done a demo with at least 6 or 7. Acorn impressed us with how easy-to-use it appeared, and we've not been disappointed in our decision. Their support is incredible, and helps being in the same timezone (lots of others were either US or UK office hours which wasn't very convenient for us).
- Onboarding was as painless as could be expected
- Reporting is simple but comprehensive, and the local support has been amazing at answering any of our questions
- No real negatives from my side except maybe a larger content library, but I know this is on the roadmap and being built currently
- Plus integrations with content providers mean there's lots available
Why they chose it
"Ease of use, responsive local support"

LMS in a nut shell
The Acorn staff are very responsive and very helpful. They are keen to see our experience being a good one. Our staff have enjoyed the format as it is similar to other LMS products we have to use for contracts.
- Price comparison was great
- We can import all our training records into Acorn for reporting
- Good look and feel for users
- The reporting functions need more options
Switched From
Acorn had more functions that we needed to meet the requirements of different job roles and reporting..
Why they chose it
"Price and function and ability to tailor our courses."

Thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]
Verified reviewer
[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is very responsive and clearly communicates how easy this product is to use
- People with admin access cannot view the learning profile/history of users

Set up of new Acorn system
We needed a system that could have multiple tenancies which we have achieved that function in different ways. This has allowed us to have our internal training for staff and contractors separate from our external training that is a revenue line for the business.
- The platform has been easy to set up with the support of the Pursuit Technology developer
- The course set up structure is also easy to use
- There is no option to have a course changed from self-enrolment to admin enrolment only
- There is limited functionality to choose different selections in setting up cohorts to use fields not equal to
- The set up of new users is clunky with having to upload the whole user dataset again as we don't have a HR system to draw the data from
- The other issue is the inability to change the home page to feature the elements we want to have eg a blog
Switched From
Many reasons including cost of the platform, functionality, multiple tenancies.
Why they chose it
"The ability to have multiple tenancies, the look and feel of the system and the cost."

Enjoying it so far.
Verified reviewer
- We have really enjoyed transitioning to Acorn as our LMS, and are finding that the software is particularly pleasing from a learner's perspective
- We have had positive feedback from students and trainers when it comes to navigating course content
- There are a host of useful features and functions including flexible enrolments, resources and activities, plus a great range of reports
- I have been most impressed with the technical support received from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and regular updates from [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], which has made the experience much less stressful
- Due to the size of our RTO and the number of courses we need to create, the system can run slowly at times - this is being improved gradually
- We are looking forward to seeing a user profile feature become available soon
Switched From
User-friendliness was the main reason for the switch.

Great Product
A GREAT experience for sure. This is a great company and they are extremely organized and I will use them again.
- This is a very easy program to use
- It is a very organized app
- I feel that in the short time I have used it, I have learned a lot and can move around quite quickly
- The app tends to have a lot of updates
- This app can also lag at times
- However, even with the lagging at times
- I would never use any other one than Acorn

Acorn - Give them a Try
My overall experience with Acorn is positive. It's especially nice to be able to track all users work done.
- Acorn is easy to use and allows minimal effort given to those who are new to the program
- Their how to's are especially helpful
There is nothing that I dislike about Acorn, it is a great program for those novice as well as experienced
