Emtrain customers have one of two account types, an Emtrain-hosted account or an LMS-connected account.
Emtrain-Hosted Accounts
With an Emtrain-hosted account, you assign training via the Emtrain platform—we call this Emtrain-assigned training. Your users complete their training assignments through the Emtrain platform.
LMS-Connected Accounts
With an LMS-connected Account, you assign training through your Learning Management System (LMS). We call this “LMS-Assigned Training.” You do this by downloading SCORM or xAPI training files from Emtrain, then uploading them to your LMS. Additionally, your employee roster is maintained in your LMS.
Workday CCL accounts are a unique type of LMS-connected account where selected Emtrain content is synced to the Workday LMS automatically, without requiring training file uploads. You can learn more about that account type in our Workday CCL Integration Guide.
What’s My Account Type?
You can find your account type on the Basic Info screen in Site Config:
The Account Type displays one of the following options:
- Emtrain-Hosted
- LMS-Connected (SCORM)
- LMS-Connected (xAPI)
- Workday CCL
If you need clarification about your account type, reach out to your Client Success Manager (CSM).
