CustomGuide vs. Acorn

CustomGuide helps associations, governments, nonprofits, and public libraries train their staff and communities. CustomGuide is an all-in-one online learning platform that makes staff training easy to create, deliver, and track. It combines interactive eLearning courses, skill assessments, and AI-powered course creation tools to help organizations build effective training programs. Choose from over 300 LMS-ready courses on Microsoft, Google, and business skills, or create your own in minutes using the AI Course Builder.

Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill.
