Get your people smarter, faster — all-in-one LMS with training automation
About Knowledge Direct
Knowledge Direct is a cloud-based learning management system from Apti (formerly Digitec Interactive) built around training automation, time-spaced learning, and on-demand delivery. The platform is geared toward associations, corporate training teams, and certification programs that need to combine self-paced courses, webinars, virtual conferences, and assessments in a single system with built-in reporting and compliance.
