“Direct Support Learning is a game changer. It allowed Community Life to scale from 12 employees to 50 in 3 months with minimal administrative workload. It streamlined our onboarding process and training, and the best part is that it incorporated our in-person trainings smoothly into the system making employee certifications a breeze”

Hiring new staff and getting them trained is now completely automated and we are seeing our new staff become independently proficient in a fraction of the time. Accessing employee transcripts and seeing expiration dates for all trainings in real time without physically going through personnel files has been amazing”
