Totara Suite

When both Totara Learn and Totara Perform are implemented together, this is known as the Totara Suite. This powerful combination creates a unified experience that will cover all critical areas for your business to thrive.

Totara Learn (formerly Learn and Engage)

Totara Learn is a powerful Learning Management System (LMS) that allows you to create and manage courses, programs and certifications to assign to learners. These can contain various activities, instructor-led events and other blended learning content. Additionally, Totara Learn supports informal learning with workspaces, libraries, user-generated content and content curation, discussions, and more.
