### "Clean and easy to use" — 5.0/5

> **Sally** | *21 August 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: As an RTO organisation this product is easy to navigate for both the administrators and the learners. It is clean and offers a fresh look to e-learning. &#10;There a number of excellent features that have been developed with e-learning in mind, for example, the live learning function where learners can book for live learning events and see their calender of up coming events. &#10;Reporting functions also help us keep us update with what are learners are up to and where extra support might be needed. &#10;Intergarition with other systems is a massive advantage
> 
> **Cons**: At this stage, inability to customise some sections of the platefore eg change fonts and colours of text.
> 
> Trainisiting over to Acorn has been great as we have been able to significantly cut down on administration activities which acorn now do automatically for us. Having Acorn integrate and connect with other systems that we use is amazing. &#10;Our end-users (our students) have found it easy to use. &#10;As administrators in the system we have always been supported by technical and support staff. &#10;Overall a fantastic product.
