Thinking about using Tayl for your team’s training and compliance? Here’s a quick guide to what we do, how it works, and why it might be the right fit for you.

Hospitality

Charities

Yes, and it’s easy. You can build custom courses using Tayl’s drag-and-drop editor. Add videos, images, quizzes, and your own content in just a few clicks.

-
Fire safety

Food hygiene

Manual handling

Safeguarding
You can use them as they are, or tailor them to your organisation.
Can I use Tayl to share documents and policies?
Yes. Tayl lets you upload documents, request e-signatures, and track who’s read them. Perfect for staff handbooks, policies, procedures, and updates.
Can I track who’s completed training?
Yes. Tayl shows you exactly who’s completed what and when. You’ll get automatic alerts when training’s overdue and clear reports you can export or share.
Can staff retake training?
They can. You can set up training to be done once, on a schedule (e.g. yearly), or let users go back and review or repeat courses whenever they like.
What happens if someone doesn’t complete their training?
Tayl automatically reminds people via email if they haven’t completed training on time. You can also nudge them manually or escalate if needed.
Can I track training across multiple sites or locations?
Yes. You can group staff into teams by site or department, then assign and track training by group. It’s great for managing franchises, branches, or regional teams.
How much does Tayl cost?
Tayl uses simple pricing based on your number of users. No contracts, no hidden fees. You can see all the details on our pricing page.
Is Tayl suitable for remote or flexible teams?
Absolutely. Staff can access training from anywhere, on any device—whether they’re on shift, on-site, or at home.
Can Tayl help with compliance?
Yes. Tayl tracks training progress, sends automatic reminders, and produces reports—helping you stay on top of compliance with less admin.
