FAQs
-
What is the difference between a Training Management System (TMS) and a Learning Management System (LMS)?
A TMS like Arlo focuses on managing the operational and commercial aspects of training, including scheduling, registrations, payments, and CRM, often for instructor-led or blended courses. An LMS primarily focuses on the delivery and tracking of self-paced online learning content. -
Who typically uses a Training Management System like Arlo?
Arlo is used by internal training departments upskilling staff, commercial training providers selling courses to the public, and organizations offering blended learning programs (face-to-face, live online, eLearning). -
Can administrator licenses be shared between users?
No, administrator licenses are intended for individual use. Sharing a license can lead to access disruptions and prevents proper auditing of user actions within the platform. -
How are registration fees determined ('Paid' vs 'Free')?
Registrations are considered 'Paid' if they are associated with an order or invoice. Registrations without an invoice, including those for private courses, are classified as 'Free'. Different fees may apply to each type. -
What happens if a registered attendee cancels their registration?
If a registration is cancelled within 30 days of being made, a registration credit will typically be applied to the account, meaning the training provider will not be charged for that specific registration.
