Automation-first learning management system for employee onboarding, compliance training, partner education and customer academies with SCORM, xAPI, SSO and EU hosting.
Learnster is a next-generation learning management system (LMS) designed for growing organisations to deliver employee onboarding, compliance training, partner education and customer enablement at scale. Founded in Stockholm in 2017, it replaces legacy LMS suites with an automation-first, modern UI built for non-L&D owners.
