Continu

Continu is an enterprise LMS platform that helps organizations create, deliver, and assess training from one system. Its native authoring tools can be used to create training content, and teams can also import existing materials such as SCORM/xAPI packages, PDFs, videos, and documents. 

The platform has three assessment types: quizzes, video responses, and file uploads. Admins can use video responses for recorded skill demonstrations or collect files such as portfolios, signed documents, and spreadsheets. File Upload assessments accept submissions up to 500 MB and route them to a grader for review. These options help teams assess learner knowledge and review practical work within the same platform. 

What Is Continu Best For? 

One of the Continu’s core differentiating features is its ‘Continu Hubs’, which helps to connect multiple full Continu instances under one parent Hub. Each sub-company has its own admins, learners, content, branding, and reporting. The parent Hub can share content with selected instances, view activity across the network, and access individual instances when needed. This helps teams create common training once and share it across sub-companies without rebuilding the same content for each instance. 

How Much Does Continu Cost? 

Continu pricing is likely to start at approximately $1,000/month, based on industry benchmarks. The vendor offers three custom-priced plans: 

• Growth

Beyond the subscription cost, businesses may need also to consider the following additional cost: 

• Implementation Cost: 10% of the first-year contract value

Continu Use Cases 

Our analysis of documented Continu features and user feedback suggests that it is a good fit for the following key scenarios: 

Companies Onboarding New Hires Across Multiple Roles 

When companies onboard employees across different roles or departments, it can require considerable coordination to assign the right training to each new hire. Continu supports this process through role-based learning assignments and structured onboarding programs that help to manage training across different employee groups. Reviewers also note that role-based assignments save time and keep onboarding consistent. 

Teams Running Live Training Workshops 

Continu’s ‘Workshops’ are suited to teams that regularly conduct instructor-led training sessions. It lets teams run sessions in person or through Zoom or Microsoft Teams and manage participant registration and attendance within the platform. Users praise the platform for its simple workshop registration and reporting. 

Businesses Providing Product Training To Customers 

Businesses that need to educate customers about their products can use Continu to create a branded customer academy. It lets them provide product onboarding, training, and certification through a separate learning portal for external users. This helps customers access product training at their own pace instead of relying only on scheduled training sessions. 

Organizations Managing Mandatory Compliance Training 

A clear record of completed training is important when preparing for compliance audits. Continu lets teams assign mandatory training, track completion, and generate reports that show who have met the requirements. User reviews also highlight the use of Continu for information security awareness training and compliance reporting. 

Is Continu Right For You? 

Continu is suitable for organizations that need to train employees, customers, and partners from the same platform. It supports internal programs such as employee onboarding, upskilling, and compliance training, as well as external programs for customer education and partner training and certification. Its ‘Learning Tracks’ can structure individual courses, and ‘Assignments’ can distribute content based on learner groups or attributes. 

Continu is also recognized as a Brandon Hall Group Smartchoice Preferred Solution Provider for 2026, Enterprises such as GoPro, Instacart, US Foods, Ticketmaster, and Qantas are its notable clients. 

Organizations managing training across different audiences also require strong control over data and system access. Continu is SOC 2 Type II audited and follows security practices based on ISO 27001 principles. It protects stored data with AES-256 encryption and data in transit with TLS 1.2 or 1.3. The platform also supports SAML 2.0 SSO, automated SCIM provisioning, role-based access, and field-level permissions. It also complies with GDPR and CCPA and conducts continuous risk assessments and internal audits. 

These security practices are particularly relevant following recent changes to U.S. privacy regulation. New CCPA regulations took effect in California on January 1, 2026. They introduced risk-assessment requirements and annual cybersecurity audits for certain businesses, with some compliance deadlines phased in. Continu already states CCPA compliance and documents continuous risk assessments, internal audits, encryption, and independently audited security controls. This gives affected organizations documented security controls to support their CCPA compliance efforts.
