It's easy to use, to learn and to understand. I appreciate how intuitive it is.
I'm not a fan of how hard it can be to clean up duplicate and outdated users. (If there is a way I'm not aware of it.)
Teachable helps our team encourage educators, keep them motivated in a very discouraging world right now. It has made our business very scalable.
What I love about Teachable is its easy interface and assistance in collecting taxes from customers around the world. You do not have to worry about applying different tax rates. Teachable does that for you.
The user interface could have been a bit better. The learning activities are limited and there is no way to integrate LIVE sessions from Zoom.
Allows bulk importing of lessons is very helpful. I love the feature of Order bump and it has given me more sales.
I love Teachable because I use it as both a student and a teacher. When I first began to put out my online courses, I had to do a bit of experimenting because I was new in the world. With Teachable free plan, it's easy to create multiple Beta Courses, launch it on the market and then get reviews on each to create better courses. This way, I was able to understand what specific niche I should choose (what has the best market) and choose a paid plan on that. So that's very generous of the platform.
Probably nothing but I feel the graphics could be a bit prettier. it's also a little complicated to create the landing page and definitely there can be some room for improvement :) Otherwise it's great as it is!
I am being able to teach my courses and also explore unique niches. For example, perhaps I would like to teaches course on benefits of a herb but not be sure that whether it will have the demand or not. With Teachable Free plan, I can have multiple courses on multiple herbs and then choose the one that gives people the most benefit.
I have been looking for a good tool to help me create, design, and sell online courses. I've found Teachable. It is a great platform that provides courses on how to create, design, and sell online courses. It is a great learning tool that is easy to use and helps me easily create, design, and sell my courses on the web. It also allows me to earn with ease. I am so happy I found this tool.
Best out there in the Market. I never looked for another tool while I am using Teachable.
Teachable is the perfect place for anyone looking to start their own online course. It's easy to use, looks great, and is very affordable.
Easy to create courses and sell. The platform is so good, and mainly, the designs of the landing page are stunning. For into, I mean starters too, it's good. Just in simple tricks, we make the platform easy and simple. Payments collection and settlement all easy. They do develop new awesome features. It all like things are kept on updating I also loved the community they built.
A few times, it's tough to bundle the courses that per my choice. Also, I need to add a build download option because sometimes, if I need to draw the data, then to download one video by video, it was so annoying. Mobile version need to upgrade a little.
Mainly as a teacher, the professional loo it gives confidence to people who get enrolled. Feasibility of adding as many features we want. Its best user-supportive features. Possibility of adding to third party platforms with all ease. Easy and quick to launch my course which is most important one.
The ease of use and the integrations it allows
the fact that affiliate marketing is only available on the high ticket subscriptions
Teaching students and clients online
Combining recorded webinar sessions, ebooks, presentations in one single school Great support of the teachable team with trainings, blogs, best practices, successful trainers and inspirational success stories
No German website or support for discussions No direct live webinar stream, have to use third party services like Youtube or Twitch.
Advantages of students: gain vendor-independent knowledge on communications technologies, combines videos, presentations and ebooks My advantages: Offering trainings, collecting email addresses, gaining new insights, gaining new clients, higher visibility, learning howto's, opening mind and analize trends
it's very easy to use and the platform has a lot of features. It is very easy to upload documents and videos and also you can see all the information about steudents intecation with each of the classes.
it is not easily customizable, you can change the colors only. If you want to change the whole experience you should hire a designer to work on some code.
reliabiliy. I want a platform I don't need to have a support on my own and also that has a lot of features.
Classes are easy to create and navigate.
Compared to other platforms the cost of adding additional admin support is expensive.
The cost is not compatible with newer like platforms. However, it will take alot of man hours to transfer our courses elsewhere. But we may have to this summer. We needed additional admin support without the high exuberant cost.
I looked at many online course platforms before deciding on teachable. It’s intuative and they offer excellent support.
I could use more prodding to finish Building the courses.
Online course creation for my business.
I like how easy it is to create courses. It's fun and effortless. You don't have to be tech savvy.
I dislike pricing. I'd be happier with more packages and cheaper plans.
Serving my customers by providing content about problems they need solutions for.
After testing several different options, I found this to be the most intuitive for creating ecourses.
The pricing, specifically how it's a subscription model. It would be better if they took a percentage based on sales.
E-courses
They understand both the business and user experience elements necessary to launch, promote, and manage online education programs.
At this point, there is nothing to dislike. We do look forward to growth in their analytics which will come in time with their growth.
The delivery of real-world education in the subject of b2b brand story mastery, brand strategy mastery, and marketing execution mastery.
I have been using WordPress and building websites for almost ten years now. I previously had my courses and memberships on my own site. Since I moved them to Teachable, my sign ups have tripled and my cancellations have gone down to almost nothing. They have an incredibly easy to use system that has everything and that my students love. Plus they offer an affiliate system so I don't have to worry about anything. I can easily make my students affiliates and Teachable takes care of all the payouts and tracking.
I do pay quite a bit per month for having all the features I want, however, in the end, the time and money it would take me to do all these things, the price reasonable.
Teachable runs all my courses and memberships. This is my passive income source. This is a huge part of my business that I have been building. Since switching everything to Teachable, my sales have increased.
Ease to create courses and simple drag and drop website building. Now from the Teachable sales page transaction has become super easy. Loading video content is better than most of the LMS.
The limitation in the paid version is to have only five courses at a time. However, the pro version doesn't have a limit. Also, pricing is on the higher side. Adding direct automation to enroll students from payment gateway will be a great feature.
We are utilizing Teachable for our course, and it is giving a smooth process of enrollment, course creation and make the whole teaching process smooth.
What I like best is I can create an attractive course very easily. The uploads features work VERY fast and I can see how my course is looking in the preview page. The support is very good too.
Sometimes I get lost in all the admin pages in the back-office. It takes me some time to find what I am looking for. I'd like an intermediate plan between the cheapest and the professional.
Teachable offers a platform to hold all your content for students to see. We use it for: selling courses and training our personnel. It's been very good thus far.
Easy to build your course with a variety of text and file uploads. Easy to enroll customers as students in the courses. Good navigation for customers to navigate through the courses.
Sometimes the system is slow to react. The reporting dashboard could be improved, I still have to manually compile some data for reports.
Educating customers on our platform. Customers can navigate through the course independently and with ease.
Course design and functionality, robust reporting, and easy payment structure.
It could use some improvement in the areas of customizable branding and the ability for community engagement.
Great platform for hosting virtual courses. Payment integration was a breeze and I loved that I had the ability to enable discount codes for promotions.
The best part about Teachable is definitely its ease of use. No special coding knowledge required, everything is pretty drag and drop. We're able to upload videos and PDFs and add things like quizzes and text to each lesson
Lately, Teachable has had lots of downtime and errors, making the site inaccessible. This can be very disruptive for us and our students, especially during launch periods.
Teachable allows us to sell online courses and make money teaching what we love! It's easy to use, complex enough for our needs, and they have responsive customer support
Simple interface even for first timers.
Affiliate management, coupon management could be better.
To quickly deploy a LMS that is easy for course instructors to upload, and easy for students (who may not be tech savvy) to use and consume. Benefits realized: Fast way to get up a LMS and elearning platform when you have content ready.
This is a great tool to use for someone who really wants to embrace online learning and teaching on the fly. Teachable has amazing tutorials to help you through every step of the process. It's also so easy to customize, personalize, and frame to your branding and style. We've just recently moved to this tool because it's easy to understand with multiple web-design backgrounds. We are very excited to utilize this and look forward to hearing feedback from our staff.
As of right now we only have the basic plan which leaves us with a credit card transaction fee. At 5% this can really impact sales in the purchasing update and we may have to reevaluate upgrading our account. Also, unless we upgrade, this is only one owner/author which means we all share a log-in and do not have as much traceability as we would with other tools or a different plan.
The biggest advantage is how easy it is to use. We've tested out the editing features with multiple teachers and there have been minimal questions that they couldn't find answers to through training tutorials or Teachable's support staff. With over 2,300 staff members, it's hard to manage all the questions and problems by myself, being able to trust in Teachable's staff is so helpful.
Easy to log into. Helpful user interface.
For larger courses, it's harder to skip between lectures. You must scroll all the way down.
easy interface, access on multiple platforms.
My favorite feature is the ability to update students usernames/password easily when they get locked out.
I wish there was a way to send a coupon code link without having to do a bulk generation.
We have two training courses that we host on Teachable and it is a great tool & resource for our clients to use.
I like it has all the tools. Like certifica, quizzes, Seeing the progress in the videos.
Connection with your students. It was difficult to engage with them.
And helping during pandemic to create courses online teach them.
Teachable is intuitative to use. No fuss type of platform for course hosting. That is what I like the most about it it "no fuss type of platform.
Landing pages are OK, but they can do with more design elements where possible.
Course hosting. Selling courses is my main source of income
Easy to use and easy configurations, very cool.
The website editor is very basic, you cannot create a beautiful website.
Create online academies for my clients and for our company. The main benefit is that it is very quick to configure.
It is very easy to get started with Teachable. It’s user friendly, easy to upload videos and easy to create landing pages for your courses. Their website builder uses drop and drag and there are great options for blogging and and expanding the webpage beyond just the courses. There are also plugins and options for connection with popular emailing softwares/pixels.
The pricing scale has continuously increased and it’s made it difficult for new people to get the features they need for a reasonable price. There’s not a lot of options for personalization so once you get past the beginning stages of course creation, the drag and drop website begins to feel elementary.
Teachable is a great course hosting platform. The user interface is seamless and it’s simple to set up quickly.
User-friendliness. Easy to go back if you need to review things.
No way to skip ahead if you get disconnected.
Required training.
Simple, all devices compatible, sales page and overview of curriculum
Notging....my only challenge was with receiving payments as PayPal had some challenges
Online academy, scaling up and marketing assets
