What is Lesson Desk?

Lesson Desk is a suite of training applications, designed to function together to help businesses transfer knowledge to employees, cultivate a learning culture, and maximise the potential of their workforce. Lesson Desk is much more than the typical e-learning platform: we see ourselves as an end-to-end training partner. 

Our platform enables you to guide employees through a comprehensive training journey, where each phase addresses a key area of the recruitment and product training process. The Lesson Desk Journey is designed to help facilitate Screening, Onboarding, Formal Training, Surveys and Exit Interviews within your company. 

In addition to role-based training, which employees can complete at their own pace, Lesson Desk enables administrators to schedule instant, on-demand training, where the employee is required to complete the training before a deadline. We also support remote training, which means that training can take place almost anywhere and at any time.

We offer group and individual training platforms along with a comprehensive learning management system.
