Beam

Alternative to TalentLMS

Courses from your procedures, with proof of who completed them.

The Beam homepage, run-beam.com

Beam is training for your own procedures. A reviewer publishes an approved procedure as a course, staff complete it, and managers can see who completed what, when and on what evidence.

What it does

  • Upload your procedures and media with proof you may use them
  • Build courses with lessons, quizzes and optional practical assessments
  • Have a named reviewer approve each course revision before staff see it
  • Assign courses to people or teams with due dates in a named time zone
  • Let staff resume lessons on any device and take quizzes
  • Collect practical evidence for a named assessor to accept or return
  • Record offline, instructor-attested training
  • Issue numbered certificates and run reports on overdue and expiring training
  • Flag courses for review when a source procedure changes

What it promises

  • BEAM-03A stale save is refused rather than merged, and only the course's named reviewer or the owner can publish it.
  • BEAM-05An assignment is tied to the exact published revision of the course.
  • BEAM-09A completion is recorded only when every lesson is done and each required assessment is passed or accepted, tied to the exact revision.
  • BEAM-11Certificates record your business as the issuer and state they are not an accreditation or a statement of competence.
  • BEAM-13A learner cannot read anyone else's assignments, attempts, evidence or certificates.
  • BEAM-08Practical evidence can be read and decided only by the named assessor, and nothing completes before their decision.
  • BEAM-18Your own agent can only prepare drafts and plans; nothing reaches staff until a person approves it, and every decision is recorded.
  • BEAM-19Answers to optional diagnostic questions are stored without the person's name or the time.
  • BEAM-16Export captures every record and file without sessions or credentials, and import refuses corrupt or non-empty targets.
