Josh Holtzman
Expert EOS Implementerยฎ & Business Coach
This would have been SO helpful when I first started. Coach Shawn and I had a 1:1 and I watched some other trainings throughout the last year, but this is succinct and very helpful!
Trainual U Level 1 Graduate
I really loved the videos. They were short and right to the point. I am very busy so I loved that I could complete this at my own pace and get help when needed.
Trainual U Level 2 Graduate
Shawn rocks. Terrific, succinct, engaging presentation of the content. Exactly the kind of information we were ready and hungry for to level up our internal Trainual content. Pumped to put this to good use!
Trainual U Level 2 Graduate
I learned THREE new things in this level of training, and have been using Trainual for 3 years. I am really excited to try out Trainual Capture and the chrome extension as we revamp our company trainual account.
Trainual U Level 3 Graduate
Super useful information! Love these training sessions, and I love being able to make our company's content more unique and accessible for all learning types.
Trainual U Level 2 Graduate
The training was great! It gave me a lot of info I can use to help my company build a playbook to 100%!
Trainual U Level 1 Graduate
This course makes a great starting point for anyone who has not used Trainual before and was a good refresher for someone like me who has built out a significant amount of material within the platform. Iโm looking forward to future trainings!
Trainual U Level 1 Graduate
Great stuff...learned a lot...no longer paralyzed by where to begin.
Trainual U Level 3 Graduate
This course is the best way to teach content creators/managers about Trainual. Well done!! The format, multimedia, and aesthetics were super useful in giving me an idea of what an effective learning structure looks like for our own Trainual account.โ
Trainual U Level 1 Graduate
I already shared my praise by email to Shawn, but it was Shawn's enthusiasm that really took the training over the top. Everything was great: the copywriting, sequence, tests... the works.

You really just cannot compete with the big guys, as it goes for systems and processes, unless you have a tool like Trainual. So for smaller practices, I think itโs just perfect.

I wish this was around when I was starting out as an entrepreneur because having been a founder, an advisor, and an investor in literally hundreds of companies, I know itโs extremely valuable. The only thing we can ever sell people in this world is time, and taking things off your plate is how you get time back.

Moving through the Trainual Basics essentially taught me everything I needed to create my first subject. I started with a simple client connection overview and had the entire module complete in less than an hour. This included embedded video, hyperlinks, images, slide shows etc. Ease of use A+, Training A+, Quality of Support A+. This software is amazing.

Adam
Founder, SEO Brothers
Trainual makes it easy to share knowledge with people on my team and get new hires up to speed, quickly.

They do a great job of being in communication with their customers regarding feedback and overall great customer service.
Emily R.
Operations Manager, Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees
In the beginning, we documented our policies and procedures in word docs. As our firm has grown, we realized the need for more central, user-friendly process documentation.

Director of Team Services, The Royce CPA Firm

Greg Hickman

Before we started Trainual, if I wasn't in the building and someone had a question, they were pretty much screwed. Now what I can do is just give my whole lecture series, record it, upload it, and then it's infinitely reproducible. I can train 10 people in 10 different places at once!
