Why Workforce System Rollouts Struggle – And What Actually Drives Adoption
Why do workforce system rollouts struggle? Learn what drives real adoption and how to improve workforce management outcomes with practical strategies.
aXcelerate Academy is a self-paced online learning hub that helps aXcelerate customers get new staff up to speed, build confidence across their team and keep up as the platform evolves. Courses cover student management and learning management, with options for admins, trainers, course developers and finance managers. This article covers why the Academy exists, what it offers your team, where to start, and how customers can enrol.
aXcelerate Academy is aXcelerate's training hub for its customers. Courses are bite-sized and self-paced, so staff can learn in short sessions that fit around their workload, on any device.
Each course is labelled by level and by the role it's designed for, so it's easy to find the right one. Quizzes reinforce what you've learned, and certificates recognise what you've completed.
The Academy is built in aXcelerate's own LMS, the same learning management system customers use to deliver training to their students.
The Academy is available to aXcelerate customers. If you're evaluating aXcelerate, it's part of the support your team gets once you're on the platform.
RTOs get the most value out of their Student Management System when the people using it confidently know how. For training organisations, that knowledge can be hard to hold onto. Staff join and leave, people move into new roles, and the platform keeps improving.
aXcelerate built the Academy because customers asked for it. Their feedback kept returning to the same challenges: training new staff, supporting team members who were new to the system, and helping teams get more from aXcelerate. Waiting for a scheduled training session wasn't always practical, so the Academy lets people learn when and where it suits them.
The goal is for every customer to feel confident in the system and get a real return on their investment. The more your team knows, the more of aXcelerate they can put to work.
The courses are created by aXcelerate's Professional Services team. aXcelerate's instructional designer shapes the structure and flow of each course, with senior onboarders bringing hands-on experience with training businesses, RTO operations and compliance, so each course reflects how people use aXcelerate day to day.
aXcelerate Academy helps your team learn the platform at their own pace, train new staff consistently and keep their skills current, without waiting for a scheduled session.
A new staff member can start a beginner course in their first week. Role-based courses give them a clear starting point, rather than relying on whoever has time to show them around.
Courses are bite-sized and work on any device. Staff can complete a module between enrolments, after a training session or wherever they have a spare half hour.
Courses are designed for specific roles: admins, trainers, course developers and finance managers. People spend their time on the parts of aXcelerate they actually use.
When everyone learns from the same courses, processes stay consistent across your team. Knowledge doesn't sit with one experienced staff member, so it's easier to cover leave or replace someone who moves on.
aXcelerate releases new features and improvements regularly, and the Academy is kept up to date as the platform changes. Experienced users can revisit a course to see what's new, rather than sticking with the way they've always done things.
Quizzes check understanding as people learn, and certificates recognise completed courses.
Courses currently cover the two sides of aXcelerate: student management and learning management. Student management courses focus on day-to-day administration, such as student records, enrolments and attendance. Learning management courses focus on delivering training, managing assessments and supporting learners. Because aXcelerate's SMS and LMS are the same system, both streams teach one platform, not two separate products.
Courses are designed for specific roles, including admins, trainers, course developers and finance managers, and range from beginner to intermediate level.
No. The Academy is also a way for experienced users to catch up on what aXcelerate can do now. The platform changes as new features and improvements are released, so a workflow your team set up years ago may have a simpler option today.
Amina Jackson, Manager, Customer Success at aXcelerate, puts it this way:
Whether you are just getting started or have been with us for years, the Academy is your chance to refresh your knowledge, discover new possibilities, and unlock even more value from your system.
Good times to revisit a course include when a new staff member joins, when someone moves into a new role, or when your team starts using a part of the system for the first time.
If you're comparing Student Management Systems, ask each vendor how your staff will learn the system after go-live, and how a new hire will be trained a year from now. Training doesn't stop at implementation. Staff turnover, new roles and new features all create ongoing learning needs.
All aXcelerate customers get access to the Academy, so learning isn't limited to onboarding sessions. New starters can work through role-based courses at their own pace, and existing staff can refresh their knowledge as the platform evolves. The courses are built by the same Professional Services team that onboards new customers.
