If you’ve been following the manufacturing sector lately, you’ll know that workforce training has become one of the industry’s biggest challenges. Skills gaps, compliance requirements, high turnover, and the need to get new hires productive quickly are all pressing issues.

That’s precisely why we’re excited about Advanced Engineering. It’s one of the few events where L&D professionals, operations managers, and manufacturing leaders get together to tackle these problems head-on.

What We’ll Be Showcasing

We’re not just turning up with brochures and a smile (though there’ll be plenty of both). We’re bringing real solutions for the challenges manufacturers are facing right now.

Live Demos of Our Manufacturing LMS

You’ll be able to see our manufacturing LMS in action. We’re talking about systems that work on the shop floor – mobile-friendly interfaces that operators can access during shifts, compliance tracking that doesn’t require a PhD, and safety certification management that keeps auditors happy.

Real Client Examples – Including High-Stakes Regulatory Compliance

Here’s something we’re particularly proud to share: our work with Joby Aviation.

When you’re building electric aircraft, training records aren’t just nice to have. They’re absolutely critical. Joby needed watertight compliance tracking in one of the most heavily regulated environments imaginable – where every training event, every evaluation, and every sign-off needs to be traceable, auditable, and bulletproof.

We built them a custom On-the-Job Training plugin that works alongside Totara LMS to track real-time performance assessments. Their evaluators can assess learners during actual on-the-job activities using configurable digital forms. Every training event gets logged with standardised fields – date, procedure version, sign-off status, the lot.

But here’s what really matters for compliance: every evaluation sits in a searchable activity log with full traceability. Administrators and compliance teams can review, edit, archive, or restore records whenever they need to. When the regulators come knocking, Joby has complete visibility.

The system handles everything from standardised evaluation practices across departments to transparent learner progress tracking. It’s the kind of high-stakes environment where mistakes aren’t an option. And it’s exactly the sort of challenge we specialise in solving.

We’ll be sharing this case study alongside examples from other manufacturing clients who’ve tackled similar challenges to yours. How did they reduce onboarding time, improve safety compliance rates, and get their training programmes to deliver measurable ROI?

Why Manufacturing Training Is Different

From working with manufacturers for years, we’ve learned that your training needs are completely different from those of other sectors.

You can’t shut down a production line for a training session. And you’re dealing with everything from frontline operators to technical specialists to management – all with different learning needs.

Generic corporate LMS platforms just don’t cut it. You need systems built specifically for manufacturing environments, and that’s our speciality.

Our Totara Learn LMS forms the backbone of many manufacturing training programmes because it’s flexible enough to handle complex organisational hierarchies, robust enough for multi-site operations, and powerful enough to deliver sophisticated compliance reporting.

Come and Chat

Look, we’re not going to hard-sell you at the event. But if you’re wrestling with any of these challenges:

Getting new hires productive faster
Managing compliance across multiple sites
Reducing safety incidents through better training
Tracking skills and certifications efficiently
Delivering training to shift workers effectively
Meeting regulatory requirements in high-stakes environments

We should definitely have a conversation.

We’ve solved these problems for manufacturers of all sizes, from family-owned operations to global enterprises. Sometimes, a quick chat points you in the right direction. Sometimes, it develops into a partnership that transforms your training capability.

Either way, we’re happy to help.
