Astutis Switches to the Totara Learning Management System for Online Courses

Astutis, a division of Wilmington plc and learning provider of health, safety, and environmental training solutions, is pleased to announce its strategic transition to the Totara learning management system (LMS).

This change comes as result of our continuing drive to leverage innovative technology tailored to meet diverse learning needs. We are innovators and have made it our mission to ensure learning has no limits.

Totara aligns with this vision as a globally recognised enterprise-level LMS, offering unlimited customisation, scalability, and advanced functionality. The Totara system is also utilised by internationally recognised brands such as Samsung, easyJet and Western Union.

This next step allows us to set the bar for health, safety and environmental training even higher as we continue to create customised courses for our customers and partners.

Enhanced Features for Improved Learning Outcomes

Totara’s robust suite of tools provides features designed to enhance both learner engagement and organisational efficiency.

The award-winning platform allows for the creation of personalised learning paths, adaptive content delivery, and seamless integration with other business systems. These capabilities ensure that learners can access highly relevant training materials while organisations benefit from streamlined administrative processes.

Steve Terry, Managing Director of Astutis had this to say:

“As technology advances, organisations will continue to face new challenges and opportunities in all industries. For us, our goal has always been to offer the highest standard of health, safety, and environmental training. We have set the benchmark for innovative online training, and we will continue to evolve and reach new heights. Totara’s highly advanced capabilities allow us to deliver an even more dynamic, user-centric learning experience that meets the unique needs of our customers across their respective industries. As innovators and leaders in the space, we are constantly looking to expand our capabilities through emerging technologies. This new direction is testament to that endeavour.”
