From a folder of decks to a training program that shows who is ready.
For heads of learning and enablement. Send us the decks, recordings, and SOPs you already have. Alma's learning engineers build the program, and your experts review it instead of writing it.

Two complaints follow most company training.
The people who take it say it has nothing to do with their job, so they click next until the quiz and guess until they pass. The business asks what changed, and the only answer on hand is who finished. Both usually start in the same place: someone hands over slides and asks for a course, and the experts who know the work are too busy to write one. Alma starts from what your people currently get wrong, builds practice around it, and asks your experts only to review.
Any one of these is enough to start.
Decks and existing training
Slide decks, and the workshop that only works when one facilitator delivers it.
Recorded sessions and webinars
Including the all-hands recording almost nobody finished.
Your competency framework
Your leadership model or your sales methodology. We build to your definitions of what good looks like.
The SOPs nobody reads
Policies and process documents people are supposed to have read. We turn them into situations to work through.
Real situations from the business
Escalations, lost deals, the conversation a manager handled badly last quarter. Take the names out first. These become the practice conversations.
The person everyone asks
When the know-how lives in one head and that person has no time to write, we interview them and build from the transcript.
With the three usual routes, you still do the work yourself.
Building it in-house
Your experts become the authors.
One hour of interactive e-learning takes about 180 hours to build, and about 90 percent of that is execution (Chapman Alliance, 2010). Your designers wait on experts who are too busy.
Licensing a library
It arrives generic and goes stale.
Nothing in it uses your terms or your situations. What it reports back is who finished.
An AI course generator
A quick draft, then your editing.
People who have tried these tools describe the output as generic and in need of heavy editing, which lands on your experts.
What Alma does
Built from your material, reviewed by your experts.
You keep the direction: what it covers and what good looks like in your business. Alma's learning engineers do the production. Live in weeks.
A finished program, built around practice and feedback.
Sessions in a planned order
Each one gets to the point and moves people toward what they should be able to do.
Practice with a counterpart who pushes back
An AI counterpart plays the customer or the direct report in a situation from your business, in text, voice, or video. Vague answers get challenged.
Feedback in the person's own words
It quotes what they said, names what was missing, and gives one thing to change next time.
A check you cannot guess through
People show they can do it in a conversation or a piece of real work, measured against the standard your experts set.
Who is ready, per person and per team
You see who is stuck and where, and who has met the standard for each skill.
Under your company's name
It runs inside your LMS, or from a link. Your people never see Alma.
Four steps. The decisions take about a day of your experts’ time.
Your experts review the plan and the result. They write nothing.
Step 01
We ask what your people currently do wrong
One conversation with whoever owns the skill, plus the material you send.
You and your experts
Step 02
Your experts correct the plan
A plan you can read: what people will practice, what good looks like, in what order. Each choice comes as a short menu with our recommendation.
Your experts review
Step 03
Alma builds the program
Our learning engineers produce every session, practice conversation, and check.

Step 04
Your experts review the result
They go through it as an employee would and mark what is wrong. We fix it, and it goes live.
Your experts review
Start with one program, and one number the business already tracks.
Pick one group, such as new managers or one sales team, and one number you already report. We agree on it before anything is built. When the program has run, you compare who is ready with that number. Your LMS stays as it is. We build an example from your own material, at no cost, before you decide. Ask for one when you book.
What a program for first-time managers could look like.
An illustration of what the product does. It describes no client and reports no results.
First
It starts from a conversation managers avoid
Say, telling someone their work is below the bar. A short session sets out what your leadership model asks for.
Then
The manager rehearses it out loud
An AI counterpart plays the team member and pushes back on anything vague.
After each try
The feedback uses the manager's own words
It quotes the sentence where they softened the message, and gives one thing to change next time.
Before the real one
A check comes first
The manager runs it again, measured against the standard your experts set. You see which managers are ready.
When the playbook changes, the program changes with it.
One change goes through every session
A new policy, figure, or product name is entered in one place. A revision takes days.
Every part says what it is for
Each records the skill it serves and why it is there, so the next owner can see what to change.
Three questions buyers ask first, and one limit.
Will our experts still have to do the work?
No. They answer questions at the start and approve the plan, which takes about a day. Checking the finished program against that plan can be shared with others on your team.
Will people actually use it?
It is built around practice. People are put in a situation from your business and asked to say or write something. We publish no usage figures, so the pilot is where you test this.
What happens to our data?
It stays on Alma's platform and is never used to train a model. Only your own staff and the few Alma people building your program can see it. We go through the details with your security team.
Who is this not for?
Anyone who needs a lesson by this afternoon, or a library of ready-made courses. Alma builds around your material, and that takes weeks.
