What Absorb LMS is
Absorb LMS is a learning management system for administering and delivering organizational training. Its stated uses include onboarding, employee development, compliance training, customer education, partner enablement, and selling courses. Learning assignments can reflect role, department, location, goals, and skill gaps; the homepage lists 12,000+ job skills and 20,000+ pre-built courses. Absorb Create uses built-in AI tools to generate courses and add quizzes, videos, translations, and voice-overs. Custom reports cover learner engagement, course completion, productivity, and sales. Listed integrations include ADP, Workday, Salesforce, BambooHR, and Zoom, with RESTful APIs and webhooks for custom connections. The free Absorb Learning app for compatible iOS and Android devices supports offline learning and syncs progress after reconnection, but course creation and management are not available in the app. Absorb LMS also lists assessments, certificates, SSO, and API access. It is paid, with pricing on request, and offers a free trial signup form without a stated duration. The maker says it provides 24/7 customer support, is WCAG 2.1 compliant, and completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination.
