Different kinds of product
Coursera for Business gives employers access to Coursera's catalogue of courses and certificates from universities and companies, with tools to assign content and measure skills. Talstack is a people platform. Its LMS comes with a catalogue of expert-led courses, and sits alongside Performance, Engage and Core HR.
Where Talstack goes further
Learning connected to performance
Talstack is a people platform, not only a course library. Performance Reviews show where people need to grow, and managers can assign a course or learning path straight away. Goals, Feedback, 1:1s, Surveys and Core HR sit in the same place, so training is tied to how people are actually doing.
Practical courses from practitioners
Talstack's catalogue has nearly 400 expert-led courses and bite-sized Shorts, taught by experienced professionals and organised by topic, from leadership, sales and finance to compliance, customer experience and HR. Courses are short and built to be applied at work.
Your own training, alongside ours
Build private courses with your own videos, text, PDFs and quizzes, then combine them with Talstack courses in learning paths. Assign them to people or teams with deadlines and reminders, award certificates on your own courses too, and track progress, completion and watch time in one dashboard.
One price for the whole platform
Talstack charges one price per employee, billed annually, with every module included. You get the course library, the LMS, Performance, Engage and Core HR without buying them separately.
When Coursera might fit
If what you need is an academic credential, such as a university Professional Certificate, Coursera is built for that. But most teams need people who can apply new skills at work this quarter, with training tied to their reviews and goals. That is what Talstack is built for, and it comes with the rest of your people processes in one place.
Switching to Talstack
Our team helps you bring your data across for every part of the platform, from employee records to existing training content and learning records, and helps you roll Talstack out to managers and employees.
