Rippling launches custom course builder for personalised learning and development


Rippling, a leading workforce management platform, has announced the launch of its custom course builder in Australia, helping companies to develop and deliver high-quality, customised training sessions tailored to their unique needs. The service supports various multimedia elements, including videos, quizzes, and more, ensuring that employees remain up-to-date with the latest technologies and workplace policies.

According to Rippling’s recent research, employee upskilling and training ranked in the top five business priorities for the next financial year and was the most popular method of driving productivity, with over three quarters of business leaders (76%) agreeing training and upskilling is beneficial to unlocking greater productivity in the workforce. The custom course builder will be a crucial tool for Australian businesses, making it easier and quicker to deliver on their learning and development (L&D) initiatives. 

"In today’s fast-paced world, continuous learning and development are crucial for any organisation’s success. But traditionally, creating purpose-built training courses that are relevant to employees is a time-consuming and expensive process,” said Matt Loop, VP and Head of Asia at Rippling. “With our custom course builder, Rippling enables businesses to provide an exceptional training experience for employees with much less time and effort. The tool is designed to enhance employee growth, ensure compliance, and maintain a competitive edge, ultimately helping drive better business outcomes."

Rippling’s new custom course builder allows for the seamless integration of multimedia content and the inclusion of quizzes for a more modern, engaging learning experience. Automated reminders also help ensure employees complete courses on time, lifting the responsibility of an individual to chase up on deadlines. The tool can be used to create a personalised L&D experience, regardless of the industry or size of a company – whether that be retail stores teaching the fundamentals on inventory management, to professional services brushing up on their presentation skills and client engagement. 

Key features of Rippling’s new course builder include:


Efficient course creation: Organisations can quickly develop courses with videos, images, and quizzes within Rippling, or upload existing coursework to build a comprehensive L&D program.

Timely delivery: Courses can be assigned at critical lifecycle moments, such as onboarding or promotions, and to groups at specific times of the year.

Centralised data: All of the data is stored within Rippling, meaning companies can easily track progress to make sure that teams have completed their training, and view quiz results to make sure employees have understood the material.

Pre-built catalogues: Kickstart training programs with access to pre-built global course catalogues on essential topics like cybersecurity and unconscious bias.

Mobile and tablet-friendly: Employees can access training materials on their schedule from any device, making learning more accessible and flexible.

Automated compliance: Rippling automates manual tasks like course enrollment and reminders, helping organisations stay compliant with federal, state, and local regulations effortlessly.

Global support: The international course catalogue supports over 15 languages, catering to the training needs of global teams.
