Pros
“I appreciate Niche Academy's 'marketplace' library of pre-created lessons and content, which allow for us to curate our academies based on the programs, services, and databases we provide.”
HC

Heather C.

Administrative Assistant

“I am of the opinion that all of the features are most impactful because I go refer back to my library of attended webinars and trainings, the certificates can be printed at any time, and I can go back to get a review of the previously watched webinars and/or trainings.”
MT

Montoya T.

Early Education Librarian Associate

“I like that certificates can be printed right from the classroom and that the tracking of completed portions is very straightforward. As mentioned earlier the ability to stop and restart a lesson from the same point is appreciated.”

Cons
“For whatever reason, possibly to do with reclassification or retitling of the courses, some of the courses I initially completed in our staff academy now show no completion. While we got credit for it anyway, it still is annoying when trying to select the next course to take.”

“The staff training system is limited in terms of the options available for recording videos and setting up administrators. ”

Head of Information Services

“I don't really have any 'least' comments except that under 'My Niche' or my account, I find that I don't have a list of dates of completion especially since I have to take the same course every year.”
