TraineryLMS + TraineryTMS

Turn Standalone Courses Into a Guided Curriculum

Learning Paths string individual courses into sequential, structured curricula built around a role, competency, certification track, or regulatory requirement. Progress is tracked at every step so no learner falls through the cracks.

Step by Step

Define the goal

Choose what the path is built around: a job role, a competency, a regulatory requirement, or a certification track. Set the audience and any auto-enrollment rules based on role or hire date.

Sequence the curriculum

Add courses from TraineryXChange or your own content library. Set prerequisites so learners cannot skip ahead, and add milestone checkpoints that unlock the next stage only when prior steps are complete.

Track every step

Progress is tracked at both the individual course level and the overall path level. Managers receive alerts when someone falls behind so they can intervene before a completion deadline is missed.

Core Features

Prerequisites and Gating

Require learners to complete earlier modules before unlocking the next. Gating logic ensures training happens in the right order with no shortcuts that compromise quality or compliance.

Milestone Checkpoints

Add checkpoints throughout the path that signal progress, unlock next stages, and trigger notifications to managers. Milestones keep long programs from feeling like a single marathon.

Role-Based Path Design

Build paths around a job role, competency, certification track, or regulatory requirement. Assign paths automatically when an employee is given a role or joins on a specific hire date.

Dual-Level Progress Tracking

Track completion at both the individual course level and the overall path level. Managers and L&D admins get a clear picture of where every learner stands without chasing status updates.

Manager Intervention Alerts

When a learner falls behind schedule, the system automatically notifies their manager. Early alerts mean interventions happen before deadlines are missed, not after.

PerformSpark Integration

Paths triggered by a skill gap in a PerformSpark performance review are auto-enrolled and tracked. Completion flows back into the employee's performance record with no manual step required.

Use Cases by Role

New hire onboarding paths that ensure every employee starts the same way

Instead of ad-hoc course assignments during onboarding, a structured path automatically enrolls every new hire in the right sequence from day one. Managers see completion rates without sending a single status-check email.

Outcome: Consistent onboarding, less admin

Regulatory compliance paths that prove the workforce is trained in the right order

Build a compliance path with gated modules and audit-ready completion records. Auditors see exactly who completed what, in which order, and on which date without anyone pulling reports manually.

Outcome: Audit-ready compliance records

Career development paths tied to role progression and promotion criteria

Map the skills and certifications required for each role level and build paths that take employees from where they are to where they need to be. Learning becomes a visible, measurable part of career growth.

Outcome: Development tied to career mobility

Product certification paths for customer-facing teams and external resellers

Customer-facing employees and external resellers follow the same structured product certification path. Completion certificates are issued automatically when all modules are passed with no admin involvement needed.

Outcome: Scalable certification at any audience size

Ad-hoc training is not a program. A Learning Path is

Most organizations assign courses reactively. A Learning Path gives your L&D team an intentional, structured alternative that turns individual content into a measurable development program. And because it connects to PerformSpark and CompBldr, completion means something beyond a tick in a box.

Structured sequence with prerequisites, not a flat course list

Manager alerts fire when learners fall behind, not after the deadline passes

Completion records are audit-ready from day one, no manual compilation required

Progress tracked at path level and course level simultaneously

Auto-enroll triggered by role assignment, hire date, or PerformSpark skill gap

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a learner skip modules in a Learning Path?

No, not unless the administrator explicitly allows it. Gating logic means a module only unlocks when its prerequisites are completed. This ensures the training sequence is followed and that compliance-sensitive paths cannot be circumvented.

Can a single Learning Path include different content types such as eLearning, ILT, and coaching?

Yes. A Trainery Learning Path can combine self-paced eLearning courses, instructor-led sessions scheduled through TraineryTMS, coaching touchpoints from TraineryCoaching, and on-the-job assessments, all within a single sequential curriculum and tracked in one learner record.

Can paths be auto-assigned when an employee changes roles?

Yes. Auto-enrollment rules can be set based on job role, department, hire date, or location. When an employee is assigned a new role in TraineryCORE, the corresponding learning path triggers automatically without any manual action from the L&D team.

How does a Learning Path differ from a Learning Journey?

A Learning Path is the curriculum structure: the defined sequence of courses with prerequisites, gating, and milestones. A Learning Journey is the learner's personalized lived experience of that curriculum, blending assigned courses, optional content, coaching touchpoints, and milestone celebrations into a continuous development timeline. Paths are the structure; Journeys are the experience.

Can Learning Paths be used for external audiences like partners or customers?

Yes. Trainery's Extended Enterprise Training capability allows Learning Paths to be deployed to external learner portals for partners, resellers, customers, and association members, using the same platform and tracking infrastructure as internal employee paths.

Is there a limit to how many courses can be added to a single path?

No hard limit applies. Most organizations build paths of 4 to 12 modules for practical reasons, but Trainery supports longer certification or regulatory paths where the program warrants it. Contact our team for guidance on structuring extended programs.

How are Learning Path completions reflected in performance reviews?

When Trainery is used alongside PerformSpark, path completions are visible in the employee's performance record and IDP. A manager preparing for a review cycle sees completed paths alongside performance ratings and coaching notes in a single view, with no manual data transfer needed.
