LearnTrek Subscription FAQs

Pricing
How much does LearnTrek cost?

LearnTrek operates on a monthly subscription model. The cost depends on how many “students” are active on your system each month. We charge a flat fee for you first 10 students and then a fee per additional student after that on a sliding scale.

Does it matter how many staff are using the system?

Costs are based on “student” numbers irrespective of the number of staff users. There is no additional cost for staff users no matter how many you need.

Do we pay for additional features?

A subscription to LearnTrek MIS comes with all features included. There is no extra cost to use any part of the system. If there are parts of the system that you won’t find useful – we’ll switch them off for you.

Is there a training or maintainance cost?

There is no additional cost for support, maintainance or training. You pay a subscription fee based solely on the number of “students” active on your system.

Do you charge for inactive students?

There is no charge for inactive students. You can keep records for students who have left your provision for the maximum legal term for this type of information. A student is only considered active if you are regularly adding new data to their record.

Do we need to start at the beginning of an academic year?

You can get started with your subscription at any point in the year and you will only be charged for the number of months left in that academic year. Our academic year runs from 1st September to 31st August.

Do we need to sign a contract?

Organisations who subscribe to LearnTrek are asked to sign a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the academic year that they are in when they start. If you decide to terminate the subscription to LearnTrek before the 31st August in any year, you’ll be charged up to the end of that academic year. For this reason we advise that you plan to terminate your subscription at the end of an academic year where possible.

Getting started
How do we get started?

Once you have decided to subscribe to use the LearnTrek system, you’ll need to sign a Service Level Agreement. After this we will agree a start date including some setup dates for your senior leader/s. We usually set you up during 3 x 90 minute video calls with one of our team. 

How quickly can we get using the system?

Once an SLA has been agreed, we can usually get you set up within 5 working days. What may take longer is the process of training your staff – this is something we can agree in advance and tailor to your needs.

What training do you offer for setup?

You will do 3 x 90 minute setup sessions, during which time we will train your senior leadership team and/or a nominated senior person/ stakeholder.

After this, we will agree a number of staff training sessions depending on your needs. This will usually be determined by the pace at which you would like all staff to be “up and running” on all aspects of the system.

We offer training via video calls and can arrange face-to-face training for UK users. We also offer a full library of support videos to help staff understand how to use the system in their own time.

Security and data protection
How does LearnTrek meet GDPR requirements?
