We utilize Niche Academy on a regular basis to improve our volunteer and staff training. They've made it simple to create tutorials that can include text, images, and videos. It's been such a time saver to start with a public tutorial and make edits specific to our needs. The optional test feature at the end of tutorials is very helpful to track understanding and completion of training. Niche Academy has been a great resource for us to provide online training for our staff and volunteers.
