I have been using LeaderGuide Pro for almost four years. It is one of the best tools I've used for instructor-led and virtual classroom materials development. The time savings is priceless. Also, the level of customer support I have received has been superb. Excellent value all around!

Creating well-researched virtual learning courses can take three months or more to develop, approve and launch. With LeaderGuide Pro, I have created 7 courses in less than a year.

It's easy to convert materials from other sources. The formatting is automatic. And you can customize it. Support is almost immediate and very helpful. LeaderGuide Pro helped us create a consistent look for all training materials. The formatting and finished look are great.

LeaderGuide Pro has cut my development time by more than half. Projects that have taken me 8-10 hours in the past I’m able to do in two. It was so easy to learn and use that on day one I was able to produce a professional, high-quality Leader Guide and Participant Guide.

I recently sat down with a colleague to build out a set of fairly detailed learning modules and I love how easy LeaderGuide Pro made it for us. The structure was already in place. I just had to ask the questions, and she fed me the content. We were able to focus on the impact we intended versus spending time messing with format. It allowed us to concentrate on what mattered most and trust that the Guide would be as professional as is possible when we were done.
