what is extended enterprise learning?

Extended enterprise learning is the delivery of training to audiences outside your organization, including customers, partners, resellers, contractors, and other external stakeholders. An extended enterprise LMS gives organizations a centralized way to onboard, train, certify, and support these audiences at scale.

Extended enterprise training can include product education, compliance training, certifications, partner enablement, and role-specific learning. By providing consistent training across your external network, you can strengthen product knowledge, support compliance, improve performance, and ensure stakeholders represent your organization and brand effectively.
  • Onboard and certify external participants
  • Product education and compliance training
  • Separate experiences per audience
  • Same rigor as internal training
