LMS for Schools and their staff

LMS for school staff

Keep child safety, compliance and the way your school operates on track across all teachers, staff members and volunteers.

Every school has to train its staff and volunteers in child safety and compliance, and prove it. Just as important, everyone from new teachers to casual relief has to actually know your school’s policies, procedures and way of doing things.

The biggest training challenges in schools​

Schools answer to the Child Safe Standards and a stack of compliance obligations, across a workforce that changes every term.

01

Child safety training is mandatory, and so is the evidence.

The Child Safe Standards require every staff member and volunteer to be trained in child safety, and the school to prove it, aligned to your state’s requirements.

Tribal Habits lets you assign, track and evidence that training, and build it around your school’s own procedures, so staff know what to do here, not just that it was recorded.

02

One school, different kinds of staff, one set of standards.

Teachers, admin, support staff, casual relief and volunteers all need different training, and casuals and volunteers are the easiest to miss.

Tribal Habits assigns the right training by role, and reaches casuals, volunteers and external people like coaches and board members.

03

External training has nowhere to live in most schools.

Fire warden certificates, first aid, nurse briefings and external child safety courses get completed, then tracked in someone’s inbox or a spreadsheet.

Tribal Habits records external and face-to-face training alongside online modules, so there’s one complete record per person.

04

Generic content can't teach your school's way.

A standard module can cover the basics, but it can't teach your school's policies, behaviour approach and way of teaching. Tribal Habits gives you an editable library and a course builder, so you turn how your school does things into training everyone completes.

Pricing

Transparent pricing, based on who actually trains

Most staff don’t do training every month, which is why Tribal Habits charges on monthly active users (someone who logs in at least once during the month). This means you only pay for the people who log in and train each month.

How Monthly active user pricing works

You only pay when someone actually trains

Most LMS platforms charge per seat, whether the user logs in or not. Tribal Habits uses Monthly Active User pricing, so you only pay for a technician, salesperson or service advisor when they log in and train that month. Store your full headcount, including casual and commission staff, at no extra cost.

How Monthly active user pricing works

What it looks like in practice

A school with 180 staff commits to a 50 MAU plan. Usage spikes at the start of the year when all staff complete child safety and compliance training, and drops during term when only new starters and casuals are active. In the busy months, extra users are charged at the plan rate. In quieter months, stored staff who don’t log in don’t count toward usage.

What matters beyond the training content

Why do schools choose Tribal Habits?

Child safety, compliance and policy training, induction, and your own school courses can all sit in one learning platform, for staff, casuals and volunteers.

Training can be assigned by role, campus or team, with reporting that shows what’s complete, what’s due, and where follow-up is needed before an audit.

Pricing
Pricing

Pay for who trains, not stored users

Monthly active user pricing means casual relief staff and volunteers only count when they log in. No per-seat fees for a roster that trains in bursts each term. 

Support
Support

Australian-based support team

No offshore helpdesks. Our Customer Support comes from a local Australian-based team who understands how schools operate in ANZ and the compliance environment they work in. 

Security
Security

Australian hosted, ISO 27001 certified

Your training data, and the data of staff and volunteers, stays in Australia. ISO 27001 certification and Australian hosting give you the security and data sovereignty schools expect. 

Integrations

Works with your existing tools

HR systems, SSO, and thousands more via Zapier or the Public API. Automate enrolments and keep staff and volunteer records in sync without manual admin. 

I personally had some hesitations about moving from classroom to digital — but now we’re producing more capable graduates, in half the time.
