Customer testimonial
“ATG uses Learnster both internally and as a learning platform for B2B partners“

Anna Ljungdahl

Sales Academy Manager at ATG

"Mirka is the leading provider of surface finishing technology. We offer a broad range of ground-breaking sanding solutions across more than 100 countries. Our parent company is based in Finland and has 18 international subsidiaries. "

"Skills development is an important part of our company culture and staying at the forefront of technology. We therefore encourage our employees to explore new areas of knowledge and engage in training.

Through Mirka Academy, built with Learnster's LMS, we provide internal training with tailored course material. We also have a local center in Finland, where we provide practical training to employees and customers.

We work in three different Learnster environments. One sandbox for testing and experimenting, one internal for employee training, and one external to be launched next year for our customers.

We did a thorough analysis of our internal needs and IT infrastructure. We then scanned the market for an LMS that could meet our requirements. The choice was simple. Learnster ticked all the boxes.

Use-friendliness was also key. It is easy to create interesting and engaging courses, which is key when teaching online.

Today, we reach our organization in new, innovative ways. Employees get the right training, at the right time. Our training programs are also more appealing and engaging. We have boosted internal knowledge and developed our learning culture."
