What is compliance training software?

Compliance training software is a learning platform designed specifically for mandatory training - the courses employees must complete and organisations must prove they completed. It goes beyond a generic LMS by automating assignment and reminders, tracking renewals, issuing certificates, and producing audit-ready reports. Many teams run it as part of a broader corporate training LMS.

Key features to look for

  1. Automated assignment and reminders - route the right courses to the right roles and chase renewals automatically.
  2. Certification and renewals - issue and expire certificates on schedule.
  3. Audit-ready reporting - proof of completion and history auditors will accept.
  4. Content library plus custom courses - ready-made modules and your own policies.
  5. SCORM and xAPI support - reuse existing compliance content (SCORM vs xAPI).
  6. AI roleplay for scenarios - practise POSH, ethics and safety conversations with Gelato AI roleplay.
  7. Mobile access - reach deskless and field staff.
