What's new?
Take a look at some of our latest features and recently updated documentation:
Multi-year recertification sequences
Totara 20 delivers a major upgrade to certifications. Multi-year recertification with flexible return points and multiple paths. Simpler compliance management and a clearer certification journey for learners.
Aligning Totara with skills-based practice
Totara 20 replaces “competencies” with “skills” across the platform. The updated terminology aligns with modern learning, HR, and talent practices. It better supports skills-based development, internal mobility, and workforce planning.
Improved dynamic audience user interface and experience.
Dynamic audience rule sets are easier to manage with inline title editing and clearer AND/OR logic controls. Membership changes can be previewed before updates are applied, reducing errors and rework.
