I have hosted my De-Escalation Trainings on Niche Academy for years. They are a great team and their system is fantastic! What I love about the platform is its simplicity. It is very intuitive and user-friendly. I trust Niche Academy with my business. They are our exclusive LMS and have been for years. Truly exceptional!

Niche Academy has transformed how we support professional development at Waukesha Public Library! Staff can watch tutorials on a variety of topics and grow personally and professionally. Investing in this product shows our employees that we care about their growth. Also, Niche’s technology support is wonderful! I can’t highly recommend Niche more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions? We’ve Got You.

Do I need technical skills to use this?

Nope. If you can open a browser, you can set up your academy.

What happens after the trial ends?

You can upgrade to any plan when you’re ready. If you don’t, your account will pause, but your content will be saved for at least 6 months.

Can I invite my team during the trial?

Yes—try it solo or with team members. Enrolling others in tutorials and seeing their progress is a key part of the experience—it’s the best way to understand what the platform can do.

What kinds of training topics are included?

You’ll find a wide range of tutorials on common topics like soft skills, safety, productivity, and more—plus content created by other libraries and nonprofits in the Marketplace.

Is this just another LMS?

Not even close. Niche Academy is an all-in-one training platform developed specifically for libraries and nonprofits. It combines ready-to-use content and intuitive authoring tools—so you can deliver consistent training without juggling separate systems. You’ll also gain access to a shared library of tutorials and live webinars—so you're learning alongside a broader community, not figuring it out alone.

How is this different from tools like Google Docs or shared drive files?

Niche Academy is built specifically for training—not just sharing info. You’ll get learner tracking, built-in assessments, and structured delivery tools that make it easy to onboard and upskill your team consistently.
