Training management software is used by training companies and learning and development departments to streamline training operations. These solutions help users design, organize, scale, and maintain training programs. Training management systems often provide solutions for all learning professionals (including training companies and learning and development departments) that schedule, track, and assess training efforts while overseeing employee training progress and certifications. Training management solutions also deliver tools that help training companies create and sell training courses and events. Additionally, these solutions provide learning and development departments with training resources, program budget monitoring, employee performance tracking, and so on.
Software for training companies and learning and development departments should not be confused with corporate LMS software, which helps companies manage employee training efforts and assign courses created using course authoring software. In addition, training management systems may be integrated with CRM software, CMS tools, and video conferencing software, among others. Some training management tools also provide event management solutions, e-commerce platforms, and corporate LMS tools to administer all training efforts.

- Provide training management solutions that implement, manage, track, and analyze training efforts
