Trainual is a platform for documenting procedures, onboarding steps, and role-specific training in one playbook. It helps a growing organization that regularly brings on new staff or volunteers turn what its founders know into written guidance instead of repeated explanations. Its cost, though, exceeds most small associations’ budgets.
Key features
- Central library: SOPs, onboarding, and role training.
- Built-in tests: to confirm the team absorbed it.
- Custom branding: for the training portal.
- API access: on higher tiers for HR tools.

Who Trainual is for
Growing organizations and social enterprises that onboard new people regularly and need a consistent process.
Who should skip it
Skip it if your association is small and a shared document still works. The entry price is not justified yet.
How to get started
Start with your most repeated process, such as onboarding new volunteers, and document it during the trial before committing.
FAQ
Is pricing per user?
No, it is flat per tier up to a people limit.
Does it suit a small association?
Usually not. A shared document is enough at first.
