Totara

Customisable enterprise LMS and performance suite sold direct and via partners

Overview

Totara is a learning platform from Totara Learning Solutions that markets itself as “trusted for mission-critical learning”, with an emphasis on compliance rates and training efficiency in regulated settings.[21] Its product line comprises Totara Learn (the LMS), Totara Perform (performance management), skills capabilities, Totara Mobile and integrations, combined in an enterprise package called Totara Suite.[21] The company describes the LMS as fully customisable, a positioning rooted in its origins as an open-source-derived platform, and it maintains a partner network alongside direct sales.[21]

Totara does not publish prices; buyers request a demo or speak to the company or a partner, and the platform is provided on subscription.[21] The combination of learning and performance modules under one licence appeals to employers that want appraisals and compliance training managed in the same system without buying a separate talent suite. The home page claims trust from “hundreds of the world’s biggest brands” but does not give a verifiable customer figure, and the dependence on partners for implementation means total cost varies with the partner engaged.
