How many users does Genius Support?

Genius was designed and developed from scratch by our in house team, this means it has no limitations. We do impose a minimum limit of x2 users, but no upper limit on the number of users you can have, the number of customers, learners or training events that you can run. Genius is literally unlimited.

We offer 2 versions of Genius, these are Genius Premium which our most popular by far and Genius Enterprise. Genius Premium is the full version of Genius and includes the TMS, Customer Platform, Trainer Platform and website integration.

All of your Training and Support is included in your Genius Premium or Enterprise subscription. Unlimited Training and Support is offered by Zoom, Teams and Email. Read more about Support.
?

How often to you update Genius?

We make very small performance upgrades continuously, these are barely noticeable to our clients but are essential to ensure the smooth running of Genius Training Management Software. We roll out major updates every 6 - 8 weeks. These updates include new services to improve Genius and are largely free of charge. Genius Training Management Software is cloud software or (SaaS) which means that all of our clients are always using the very latest and best performing version of Genius. The vast majority of Genius Training Management Software updates are suggested and chosen by our community of users. We are also very conscious that people don't like change, and the last thing you want is constantly changing software as this would require additional training for your staff. All updates are gradual and don't require any further training for your staff.
?

How much is the set up fee?

If you subscribe to Genius and enter your data yourself there is a one time setup fee of £995. If you require your existing data be imported by us (bulk import) we do charge for this with pricing being different in each case. Our team can advise on this.
?

How long is the contract?

A subscription to Genius Premium Training Management Software is for a minimum 12 months. At the end of 12 months you can sign up again for another 12 months and so on and so forth with your contract rolling over and continuing until you quit. There are no termination fees.
?

How do I end the relationship?

The end of any relationship is hard, the memories made together, the laughter, the joy we bring each other... We get it, people grow, they change and the grass looks greener on the other side, but that's seldom the case.
No one likes a break up, but we understand that you 'need to find yourself' and 'it's you, not us' so no hard feelings...
To break up with Genius we don't insist that you 'at least have the guts to do it to my face!', you can send us a 'dear Jon' email giving 30 days notice at the end of your 12 month contract. No penalties, no fees to pay, just a teary goodbye.
Unlike a bitter lover we don't hold a grudge and will always take you back with open arms. Some may leave.. but they all come back in the end!
?

You have very fine access control over each individual Trainer. You can limit access too financial or sensitive information so it's completely safe for sub-contract and freelance trainers to use. The Trainer Platform is included for free in your Genius subscription regardless of the number of trainers you have.
