"Training Portals "
What do you like best about Teachable?

Classes are easy to create and navigate.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Compared to other platforms the cost of adding additional admin support is expensive.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

The cost is not compatible with newer like platforms. However, it will take alot of man hours to transfer our courses elsewhere. But we may have to this summer. We needed additional admin support without the high exuberant cost.

What do you like best about Teachable?

Easy to build your course with a variety of text and file uploads. Easy to enroll customers as students in the courses. Good navigation for customers to navigate through the courses.

Sometimes the system is slow to react. The reporting dashboard could be improved, I still have to manually compile some data for reports.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Educating customers on our platform. Customers can navigate through the course independently and with ease.

"An easy platform to get started on and to get results"
What do you like best about Teachable?

The best part about Teachable is definitely its ease of use. No special coding knowledge required, everything is pretty drag and drop. We're able to upload videos and PDFs and add things like quizzes and text to each lesson

What do you dislike about Teachable?

Lately, Teachable has had lots of downtime and errors, making the site inaccessible. This can be very disruptive for us and our students, especially during launch periods.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teachable allows us to sell online courses and make money teaching what we love! It's easy to use, complex enough for our needs, and they have responsive customer support

"Multipurpose tool for Education and Business"
What do you like best about Teachable?

This is a great tool to use for someone who really wants to embrace online learning and teaching on the fly. Teachable has amazing tutorials to help you through every step of the process. It's also so easy to customize, personalize, and frame to your branding and style. We've just recently moved to this tool because it's easy to understand with multiple web-design backgrounds. We are very excited to utilize this and look forward to hearing feedback from our staff.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

As of right now we only have the basic plan which leaves us with a credit card transaction fee. At 5% this can really impact sales in the purchasing update and we may have to reevaluate upgrading our account. Also, unless we upgrade, this is only one owner/author which means we all share a log-in and do not have as much traceability as we would with other tools or a different plan.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest advantage is how easy it is to use. We've tested out the editing features with multiple teachers and there have been minimal questions that they couldn't find answers to through training tutorials or Teachable's support staff. With over 2,300 staff members, it's hard to manage all the questions and problems by myself, being able to trust in Teachable's staff is so helpful.

We have two training courses that we host on Teachable and it is a great tool & resource for our clients to use.

"An easy way to get your courses online"
What do you like best about Teachable?

With Teachable, you can go from idea to execution fairly quickly, and get your course up and running and (potentially) making sales fast.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

There are some things which are frustrating and limiting, but you learn to work around them.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to host my courses on my own site, but on Wordpress there were always issues with updates and security and plugins, and on Squarespace there really isn't a decent membership solution. Once I moved my courses to Teachable, most of the admin side was no longer an issue or a headache.

"Good platform as a user - May be right for your business"
What do you like best about Teachable?

- It's partially white labeled, although not fully. So you do get the branding of the specific provider which is nice - Having all your courses from a specific provider in a centralised environment is nice. Otherwise some courses may get lost. - The possibility is there to combine accounts if ever needed (which was the case for me) - When you login to your Teachable account, you get an overview of all your providers and thus all your courses when you click on them.

What do you dislike about Teachable?

- It would be way, way, way too expensive for my personal taste to use for my own businesses. I always look for lifetime deal software and if that's not possible, I would definitely find something with a much lower monthly cost. In my case, I'd use WordPress with some plugin(s) to achieve the same type of functionality. - The process of signing up for a course after buying from a provider who uses Teachable can be hard/confusing sometimes. I ended up with 3 accounts and due to my own fault I even lost access to a few courses. Luckily that provider gave me back that access after my request, but it was a hastle anyway. Again, this was partially my own doing (including creating the multiple accounts), but it can be confusing is what I found.

What problems is Teachable solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basically, as mentioned above, I do like it when I purchase a course from someone and they use Teachable. Because by now, I know what Teachable is so it's very easy for me to go to my account and find my new course there. So as a "buyer of online courses", my experience has been positive. Though again, I would not use the software for my own businesses. I'd personally use something different.
