How to Set Up Scalable Training in 1 Hour (Without a Learning Team)

Written by Matthew Jeffries, Chief Product Officer | Apr 9, 2025 11:15:00 AM

Yes, really. One hour. One person. One repeatable system.

You’re hiring fast. Onboarding is inconsistent. Managers are stretched. And training? It’s mostly tribal knowledge, passed around in Slack or half-remembered from someone's first week.

You know it’s not sustainable — but building a “proper” training programme feels like a project for another quarter.

Here’s the fix: you don’t need a learning team. You don’t need a huge budget. And you don’t need to start from scratch.

In under an hour, you can create a scalable training system that actually sticks — and still works when your headcount doubles.

Step 1: Lock in what has to be consistent (15 mins)

Start with the moments that matter:

  • What do all new hires need to succeed in the first 30 days?

  • What do managers explain over and over?

  • What small mistakes keep showing up?

List 5–10 essentials. Not the nice-to-haves — the must-haves. These are your training building blocks: how you work, what good looks like, how not to break things.

Keep it tight. Keep it focused.

Step 2: Reuse what you’ve already got (15 mins)

You probably have more than you think.

  • A Slack thread that nails how to handle a tricky customer? Screenshot it.

  • A Loom video that explains your CRM? Use it.

  • A Google Doc with team rituals? Link it.

Don’t wait to “make it perfect.” If it works in the wild, it works in your training.

Drop it all in one place — even if it’s messy for now. That’s your seed library.

Step 3: Get it into a system (20 mins)

This is the part that turns chaos into consistency.

You need more than a folder — you need structure. This is where Learn Amp comes in.

In minutes, you can:

  • Upload your existing content

  • Use templates to build learning pathways by role

  • Trigger content when someone joins or changes team

  • Track progress without chasing

You don’t need to be an L&D expert. You just need to know what new hires should know — and let the system do the rest.

Step 4: Create a feedback loop (10 mins)

Scalable training isn’t about creating more content. It’s about making what you have work.

Here’s how:

  • When you get the same question twice, document it

  • Every few months, tidy the mess

  • Every six months, ask: “Would I still want someone doing this?”

That’s it. You’re no longer relying on memory, random docs, or ‘who knows this?’ Slack messages. You’ve built a system.

Why this works

You’re not trying to build the perfect programme. You’re building something that:

  • Saves your managers time

  • Speeds up onboarding

  • Makes performance and culture easier to scale

And crucially — doesn’t fall apart when you grow.

Why Learn Amp helps you do this faster

You can build this yourself — but if you want to move quickly and skip the blank page, Learn Amp gives you:

  • Out-of-the-box content to get going straight away across compliance, soft skills and more

  • Templates so you don’t start from scratch. Onboarding, software training, manager training and more.

  • AI-powered tools to help you create training in minutes

  • Built-in reports that show what’s working — and what’s not

No waiting on a learning team. No long setup. Just a smarter way to grow your people as you grow the business.
