What It Is

Training Manager is the cloud SaaS version of Harrington Group International’s existing Training Manager logic, positioned for tracking employee training, certificates, and compliance records. It is not a general-purpose online course platform; it is closer to a training register and audit management system for quality, compliance, safety, or HR teams.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product’s main workflow is clear: training requirements are defined by role, and once employees are assigned to a role, they automatically inherit the required training and renewal cycles. Certificates can be assigned validity periods by day, month, or year and continuously tracked. When a new safety requirement is added to a role, it can be applied in bulk to all employees under that role. The system also supports unlimited custom fields for records such as employees, training, and roles, along with drag-and-drop dynamic reports that can be filtered by employee, status, role, or custom field, exported, and generated as audit-ready PDFs. For training activities, users can schedule courses, locations, and dates, track attendance, and automatically update training history after attendance is recorded. For collaboration, read-only users are explicitly supported, making it suitable for management or auditors to view records, though more complex permission tiers are not described.

Pricing and Deployment

Pricing is fairly transparent: $79 per month on monthly billing, $468 per year on annual billing, and $1,044 for a 3-year term. Read-only users cost $5/month/user, additional storage is $5/GB, and each user includes 1GB of storage. A free trial is available without a credit card. Deployment is as a cloud-based web application, and a Windows migration tool is provided to import employees, training records, roles, activities, and attachments from Training Manager 4. The API is only stated to be available for the Enterprise edition.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strength is a complete workflow for compliance training scenarios, especially for organizations that need to avoid certificate expirations and quickly produce audit materials. Custom fields and role-based rules also help it fit into existing processes. The main limitations are that the captured materials do not disclose common enterprise procurement information such as SOC/ISO certifications, encryption, data residency, or backups, and details on third-party integrations and the API are also limited. Its learning content delivery capabilities are not emphasized, so it should not be treated as a direct replacement for a full LMS.

Access From China

Mainland China network accessibility, payment methods, and Chinese localization are not disclosed, so access status should be considered unknown. If domestic compliance, invoicing, or data residency requirements are important, it may be worth evaluating Chinese enterprise training platforms or controllable deployment options such as Moodle in parallel.
