The sales page as it helps promotes courses or workshops that we would like to sell at a certain price and send customers only to that page.

Nothing that comes to mind. I DO LIKE IT A LOT!

I am a customer and a content producer, thinkific is my next move to launch my course which is being produced. I love the layout and the whole concept.

Thinkific makes it fast and easy for everyone from beginners to experts to get courses out of their heads and onto the web. I especially appreciate the way the platform is optimized to promote learning. As an author, course creator and Thinkific expert, I help creative experts, entrepreneurs, innovators,and outside-the-box thinkers turn their unique intellectual property into high impact courses that deliver real transformation. I teach, coach, and consult in the areas of learning design and online course creation, and find that using Thinkific helps my students and clients get their courses set up easily, fast, and well. I also love the platform for presenting my own courses. I appreciate the way you can integrate a Thinkific school with your website in a way that is seamless, bringing the functionality and security features of a complete online school to your website. While there are many great course platforms out there, I find that Thinkific offers the best combination of functionality, easy of use, versatility, focus on learning design, security, and price, especially for experts and entrepreneurs who want to create courses for their own business without having to rely on an in-house IT department or security team.

I personally don't dislike anything about Thinkific, but as with all platforms, there are features that would make it even better. One improvement I would like to see would be a streamlined way for course participants to download and open PDF files. Another enhancement I would like to see, would be the addition of a learning object level beyond the current options of course level, chapter level, and lesson level. Thinkific is easy to use, but there can be a learning curve at first as users get used to how the interface works. If you think of the components of Thinkific as being like small building blocks that build on each other, rather than as being similar to the way things work in WordPress, it will be much easier to get the hang of things quickly.

Whether for myself or my clients, I've used (and helped many, many others use) Thinkific to create powerful learning in multiple ways. My Course Design Formula® Master Course uses a series of evergreen action plans (each of which is a separate short Thinkific course) bundled together within the context of a cohort-based main course, to provide a way for participants in my mastermind to get hands-on practice in applying the principles we discuss in our weekly live class meetings. I've helped clients create yearly subscription programs that drip out one month at a time and can be renewed for a second, third, or subsequent years if need be. I use Thinkific to create custom coaching areas for my long term coaching clients, and to help clients quickly see how their course idea is going to come together and take shape as a real course. The ability to copy lessons within a course (or from one course to another), and to copy whole courses, makes the platform very versatile. While you may not be able to do everything on Thinkific that a custom coder could set up, for me the ease and speed of use, enterprise-level security, supportive customer service, highly engaged community, and the many options provided by the ability to start by creating small building blocks and then combine them in various ways, are more valuable.

Thinkific was easy to use right from the start. I found it intuitive to import and organize content. Once my course was live, features I didn't expect to need like attendance and completion rates, turned out to be very helpful.

The cost is the only thing I can mention.

As an instructional coach, when things went virtual in March 2020 we had to scramble to support our teachers who were also scrambling. Professional learning that was mid-stream when we shutdown was too important to lose. But, no one had bandwidth to take on one more system to access it. I had taken a course through Thinkific and was impressed. Using it solved the problem of making professional learning logical and easily accessed for taxed teachers. It also means that offering the same workshop to new hires is a no-brainer!

Unlimited course and students... no bandwidth limitations. Easy setup.. I launched the whole program in two days that was amazing. I just uploaded all my prerecorded videos and that's it few quizzes and assignment all done. More importantly I can have blended mode of training as well both live classes and on-demand classes. During COVID19 situation it was very hard for the travel and other arrangements but THINKIFIC solved those problems. With Course- admin feature I am now able to collaborate independently with many course creators in my platform itself. I liked the revenue sharing feature.

There is no dislike... but I like them to improve in user analytics side of the course. Now I think they have beta version, but more effective analytics will give us more control on the user engagement and experience. Frontend Customisation could be improved much more. Like introducing Liquid template or any other formatting method.

Before Thinkific I used to conduct in-person training programs, travelling places... My logistics overheads were huge but now I am able to training my course registrants from my home.

I have 7 different courses that are taken in order and once my students enter one class, they know how to prepare for the other courses. I am able to use videos, documents, quizzes and more in each class. I can make each weekly lesson as short or as long and I want. I can even upload multiple (video and documents) in one lesson.

I have to run a report to find out who tested and who didn't. I can't look on the platform to see this information without running the report.

Thinkific allows me to teach what I promote on YouTube. With my classes on Thinkific, I have successfully graduated a class that had a 100% success rate on a national certification exam.

Friendly platform for first time online course users.

Confusion between the landing page and landing site, it took me a long to understand.

I can teach people everywhere with a single clic

Thinkific customer service is the best in any industry. Not only is their platform easy to use, but their support will make sure your projects will launch on time and with the best industry practices in mind. It is super easy to create courses, bundles and content in Thinkific. However, their separation is their dedication to their customers. They are also super responsive to customer requests.

While their reporting is a little bit on the weaker side, it is constantly getting better and more robust.

We have been able to launch our entire elearning ecosystem not only a head of time, but under budget. They have helped us identify weakness in our free trial experience and offered solid advice on how to improve our process. They are constantly evaluating our site and offering recommendations for improvements.

Easy to navigate! Tons of helpful resources to be found on site!

Nothing... I like everything! If I had to say anything, it's that I'm not marketing well enough to capitalize on all it's benefits

Thinkific helps me organize my Courses. And gives me the ability to have an Academy for my clients!

The directions were clear and easy to follow. I felt very supported and had a very easy time creating the course.

Actually, there was nothing I did not like. As I said previously, I found the whole experience to be great.

I was looking for a platform that would allow me to share concepts from my book to mainstream America. I believe that the Thinkific online platform has allowed me to do just that.

The system is very easy to use, customize and navigate It gives you total control

I think everything works with Thinkific. Maybe some additional discount

Reaching a global audience Ease of creating and publishing courses Automation

It's intuitive and has an exhaustive amount of features.

It doesn't have enough support for math courses

It helped me host my online course for math students in the Caribbean. It has great analytics features which helped me to remedy some issues with user engagement.

The flexibility when building the course, the possibility to add different media and create quizzes. Free plan.

It would be nice to have more possibilities to blend our main site with the Thinkific platform.

It is the most flexible online teaching platform and it is a godsend for tutors who want to start a real business building online courses.

I like that the templates look nice, and the course builder is easy to use. They have great customer support too.

I dislike the reporting features, and that you can't check individual quiz results.

We have a home for our online course, and didn't have to get a more complicated platform.
