Ready to run as it is
Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.
Deploy off the shelf
Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.
What it costs
Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.
If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.
