Spark
Overview
Spark is Learn Amp's streamlined experience designed specifically for smaller teams and organisations. It provides the essential tools needed to manage learning and development without the complexity of enterprise-level features.
Whether you're onboarding new starters, delivering compliance training, or supporting team development, Spark gives you a solid foundation with ready-made templates and intuitive workflows.
Functionality Breakdown
Spark includes core features to help your team learn, grow, and stay compliant:
Content hosting and sharing – Upload and organise your training materials
Event creation and management – Schedule and track learning events
Compliance tracking – Monitor who's completed required training
Onboarding and development pathways – Guide learners through structured journeys
Ready-made templates – Get started quickly with pre-built content structures
How Spark Differs from the Full Platform
Spark includes the essential features without the advanced automation, custom integrations, or detailed analytics that larger teams typically need. The idea is to keep things clean, intuitive, and easy to manage for smaller teams.
Template Categories
Spark provides templates grouped into four categories:
Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
Onboarding | Get new joiners up to speed quickly and consistently |
Software | Train your team on internal tools or external platforms |
Becoming a Manager | Support staff stepping into leadership roles |
General | Flexible templates for a range of learning topics |
Each template includes placeholder text, example content, and showcases of what's possible—including embedded third-party content and interactive quizzes.
Pre-requisites
To use Spark effectively, you'll need:
Access to your Learn Amp platform
An understanding of your team's learning objectives
Content ready to upload or customise (or use our templates as a starting point)
Do you need a dedicated admin or learning team?
Not at all. Spark is designed so that even a small team or a single manager can set it up and run it. The templates and pathways make it easy to get started quickly without specialist skills.
