Common questions

Straight answers about Nialtus and TalentLMS.

Yes. Nialtus is designed to be approachable for admins and learners, with a drag-and-drop studio and AI to speed authoring.

AI authoring, a live competency matrix, white-label, commerce, and a growing list of languages, all in one platform.

Yes. Start on the Free plan and move up to Launch, Growth, or Scale in the same workspace, so growing does not mean re-platforming. Higher plans add more learners and features such as commerce, white-label, and custom roles.

If your current system can export people and completion records to a CSV file, you can bring that history into Nialtus. Add people with the People CSV import, then use Import history to bring in completions, progress, scores, and expiry dates, matched to each person by email or employee number. Course content comes across as SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC packages or an IMS Common Cartridge, or is rebuilt in Nialtus. Certificate files from the old system are not imported, but Nialtus can issue its own certificates dated to the original completion. See how switching to Nialtus works.
