We earned their trust with our responsive service and design insight.
Circle Learning Management integrates all aspects of training including surveys, tracking and issuing credentials, management functions, testing, and notification. It embraces the many flavors of training materials and mediums, including off-the-shelf training, classroom training, video training, and even learner-created materials. Circle is among the most fully-integrated, easy-to-use and efficient systems on the market. It is the product of active listening, rigorous engineering, and our commitment to the “continuous amazement” of our customers.
