Plus you get the solid advantages of being built directly into Microsoft 365:

Intuitive & Accessible for Learners & Learning Managers Alike
Learning in the flow of work. Learn365 runs entirely within Microsoft 365, so learners can access training directly through Teams or SharePoint and in context, with no need to waste time and energy switching to another system.
Simple for administrators. Learning teams can collaboratively work on course content, automate enrolment using existing groups, manage courses and track learner progress through central dashboards – directly within Teams and SharePoint.
Secure, Quick & Easy to Deploy
Built into your tenant. Learn365 installs directly into your Microsoft 365 environment as a SharePoint-based application, surfaced through SharePoint and Teams – so there’s no separate system to stand up or manage.
Security ‘baked in’. Because it runs within Microsoft 365, Learn365 uses your existing security model, user accounts and permissions – ensuring learning is delivered within a controlled, compliant environment from day one.
Simple to deploy. Setup is quick and straightforward, without the need for complex infrastructure or new identity systems. Essential works with both IT and L&D teams to handle configuration and ensure everything is set up correctly – acting as a bridge where needed so neither side is left carrying the load.
Flexible, Powerful Targeting
Links with existing groups. Learn365 can use your existing Entra ID structure to organise and target learning – automatically enrolling users based on role, department or group membership as your organisation evolves.
Flexible beyond Entra ID. You’re not limited to Entra ID. With flexible grouping and HRIS integration, you can align learning to job roles, skills frameworks and organisational data – not just directory structures.
Skills-Driven With AI. Learn365 uses AI to help you build and maintain a dynamic skills framework, mapping training to capabilities and identifying skill gaps across your organisation. Learning can then be targeted to close those gaps.
Virtual & In-Person Training Management
Beyond online learning. Learn365 supports the full training lifecycle – not just online learning. You can schedule live Teams-based sessions and in-person instructor-led sessions, managing registrations and joining instructions, all within Microsoft 365.
Integrates with your wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Training sessions can be linked to Outlook calendars and room bookings, making it easy to organise in-person learning alongside virtual delivery. Learners receive calendar invites, reminders and updates through Outlook and Teams, keeping everything visible in their normal workflow.
Assess learning across virtual and in-person training. Assessments can be used before, during or after training – from quizzes and knowledge checks to practical evaluations and submitted work to fully support your hybrid working environment.
Support in-person learning. Send joining instructions, track attendance, and manage follow-ups ensuring that in-person training is just as measurable and structured as digital learning.
Flexible & Scalable as Your Needs Evolve
Learn365 leverages your underlying Microsoft 365 platform to scale with your organisation – whether you’re delivering internal training, onboarding new starters, or extending learning to external users such as partners or contractors.
Partners & guest users. For partner organisations and external stakeholders with Microsoft 365 accounts, Learn365 can securely extend access using Microsoft’s identity and guest capabilities – allowing users to register and complete training within a controlled, compliant environment.
Frontline & external users. Learn365 also supports open access for frontline workers, contractors, temporary staff and wider external audiences – delivering and tracking learning without requiring an Entra ID login.

Commercial training audiences. For organisations delivering partner or customer training, Learn365 supports monetisation – enabling you to sell courses, manage registrations and provide paid access to content through an integrated eCommerce capability.
Extend Learning into Performance & Engagement – all Within Teams
Extend learning into performance and development. Learn365 can be combined with Perform365 and Engage365 – both surfaced directly within Microsoft Teams – to connect training with employee performance, engagement and continuous development.
Continuous performance in the flow of work. Managers and employees can run regular check-ins, capture feedback and track progress against OKRs and individual goals – all within Teams. Performance conversations, notes and actions are kept in one place, making it easier to maintain momentum and support development over time.
Prepare for reviews with real data. Built-in tools help employees and managers prepare for performance reviews using a complete picture of activity – including goals, feedback, achievements and learning progress – removing the need to gather information from multiple systems.
Clear, skills-driven career development. By linking learning to goals and performance, organisations can track skill development over time and create structured, data-driven pathways for career growth.
A connected view of your people. By bringing learning, performance and engagement together – and embedding them in the day-to-day Teams experience – organisations gain a complete, real-time view of their workforce, enabling better talent mapping, succession planning and long-term capability building.
