Last updated: 2026-07-14 The bottleneck in public-sector training is not features. It is headcount — one or two administrators covering thousands of employees. [Contact Sales](https://www.touchclass.com/form/contact) Download Proposal ## The constraint in public-sector training is staffing, not software When one or two administrators manage several thousand employees, blind spots are guaranteed. Distributing authority to departmental sub-administrators moves assignment, chasing, and tallying to the people who already know the staff — at one public institution, **about 70 sub-administrators** each covered 30–50 people. At audit time, completion status is pulled as a one-click report. The honest caveat: nothing guarantees all 70 operate to the same standard. Capability varies, it adds work on top of their day job, and whether it is tied to performance review is what actually decides quality. One more thing we publish rather than hide: in our sample, **all four public institutions** saw MAU fall from 80–95% during compliance season to single digits off-peak. The one exception had loaded 2,000+ courses before launch ([/en/data-report](https://www.touchclass.com/en/data-report)). What follows draws on 9 organisations (4 public institutions, 1 retail affiliate, 2 IT/gaming, 1 digital media, 1 educational institution).

It is not a population statistic. Institutions define the MAU denominator differently — some use total headcount, others count only registered learners — so figures should not be compared one-to-one. The IT and gaming figures come from just two companies (n=2) and should not be generalised. On sub-administrators: distributing authority to roughly 70 people does not guarantee 70 people operate consistently. Capability differs, it adds load on top of existing duties, and whether it is linked to performance review is what actually determines quality. The 2,000-course investment behind the one off-peak exception is not realistic for most institutions; treat the standard scenario, not the optimistic one, as your first target. ## Frequently asked questions The eight questions that come up most often in public-sector evaluations. ### How does a public-sector LMS differ from a private-sector one? The difference is the operating model, not the feature list. Public institutions carry a heavy statutory training load — occupational safety, information security, harassment prevention — where 100% completion is an audit item, while one or two administrators cover thousands of staff. So the questions that matter are whether authority can be distributed to departments and whether completion evidence can be produced on demand. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/employee-communication ### Can training administration be split by department? Yes. Departmental sub-administrators can be given scoped authority to assign courses, chase non-completers, and view their own department's status. At one public institution, about 70 sub-administrators each covered 30 to 50 people. One caveat we state plainly: distributing authority does not guarantee consistent quality across all 70. Capability varies, it is extra work on top of their day job, and linking it to performance review is usually what makes it stick. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/casehome ### Can we produce completion evidence for an audit automatically? Completion status by course, department, and individual can be exported as a report without manual Excel work. Because the data is captured continuously rather than assembled at audit time, the evidence is ready when a request arrives instead of triggering a scramble. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/employee-communication ### Does it integrate with our HR system and org chart? Yes. When the HR org chart changes, training targets can follow automatically, so a transfer or promotion does not require re-assigning courses by hand. This matters most in institutions with regular rotation cycles, where a manual roster is out of date within weeks. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/integration ### Engagement collapses once mandatory training ends. Is there an alternative? We will not pretend otherwise: all four public institutions in our sample fell from 80–95% MAU during compliance season to single digits off-peak. The one exception had loaded more than 2,000 courses before launch. A retail affiliate with 3,000 staff slid 90% to 30% to 3% to 1% over successive months. The lever is having everyday content ready before the compliance deadline passes — not a feature. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/data-report ### Can an institution with thousands of staff run this with only a few administrators? That is precisely the design goal. Central administrators set policy and courses; departmental sub-administrators handle assignment and follow-up for their own people. At one public institution roughly 70 sub-administrators covered 30 to 50 staff each, which shortened the time to track down non-completers. Whether it works depends on whether those 70 are given the time to do it. Source: https://www.touchclass.com/en/casehome ### Can we use the training platform for internal communication too? Yes. Announcements, leadership messages, and a feed can run alongside courses, so employees are not asked to check yet another tool. A digital media company holds a live session every Wednesday and averages about 73% MAU; a single internal video contest lifted MAU by roughly 30 percentage points. The risk worth naming: if the person who owns that routine leaves, the routine usually goes with them.

TouchClass holds ISMS-P and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with AES-256 encryption, IP-based access control, two-factor authentication, and admin activity logs.
