What Is Zoho TrainerCentral?

Zoho TrainerCentral is an online course ecosystem. It combines course creation, learner management, payments, and marketing tools into a single platform. You can upload videos, create quizzes, schedule virtual classes, award certificates, and track learner progress — all from one dashboard.

Key Features of TrainerCentral

  • Build Your Course Your Way
    Upload videos, documents, PDFs, slides — and structure your course into sections and modules. You can:
    • Add quizzes and assignments
    • Set prerequisites to control learning order
    • Drip lessons over time
  • Student Portal
    Learners log in securely to access the course, track their progress, and communicate in course forums or comments. Their activity stays private and only visible to you.
  • Certificates on Completion
    Automatically generate and send a course completion certificate to learners.
  • Bundle Multiple Courses
    Create program bundles or multi-course pathways to increase value.
  • Built-in Virtual Sessions
    Host webinars, training sessions, or live Q&A events inside TrainerCentral.
  • Site + Marketing Tools
    Create your own branded course website. Use landing pages, promo tools, email campaigns, and payment integrations — all built in.
  • Analytics and Reporting
    Track engagement, completion rates, quiz scores, and sales performance with built-in dashboards.

How You Might Use TrainerCentral

Here’s how we’ve seen clients use it:
  • A consultant selling a paid onboarding course for new clients
  • A coach offering digital courses on productivity or leadership
  • A small agency teaching software skills as a lead magnet
  • A subject matter expert creating a revenue stream from online training

TrainerCentral is ideal when you want to teach or train external audiences — clients, customers, or the general public.

Zoho Integrations

TrainerCentral integrates with:
  • Zoho Flow – connect to CRM, Campaigns, Books, and other Zoho apps
  • Payment gateways – manage course purchases, recurring payments, and promotions
  • Email tools – built-in or external for your marketing funnels

If you're already using Zoho One, you can plug TrainerCentral into your existing ecosystem and sync data across your business.

Who It’s For

  • Course creators and solopreneurs
  • Consultants and coaches with repeatable knowledge
  • Training businesses selling programs to the public
  • Organizations offering certification-based learning

If you're creating internal training for employees, Zoho Learn is a better fit. But for anything public-facing — this is the platform.
