Understanding Totara products

Totara is a versatile platform designed to support the evolving needs of organisations. The Totara Suite comprises two components:

• Totara Learn: The foundation of the Totara Suite is Totara Learn, a Learning Management System for upskilling your organisation’s workforce, and delivering transformational learning through structured, formal education and peer collaboration. It now includes enhanced features which were formerly found in Totara Engage. Totara Learn also includes essential features such as powerful audience controls, tenant management, and comprehensive reporting.
• Totara Perform: Your Performance Management System, seamlessly extending Totara Learn to drive workplace productivity and professional development. This powerful extension helps organisations expand their learning and development efforts to become performance-focused.
