Mandatory training scheduling. Without the headache.
Turn training requirements, employee availability and operational constraints into an optimised training schedule — automatically, across online and in-person sessions.
Built for large organisations training hundreds or thousands of employees across sites and shifts.
The problem
Mandatory training is a scheduling puzzle
Large organisations must train everyone — on time, without disrupting operations. Traditional planning methods make that far harder than it should be.
Spreadsheets that don't scale
Coordinating hundreds or thousands of employees across departments, sites and shifts in a spreadsheet is slow, fragile and error-prone.
Constant clashes
Room capacity, trainer availability, shift patterns and operational cover all collide — and every change starts the puzzle again.
Hours of manual effort
Planners spend days rearranging sessions by hand, chasing confirmations and rebuilding the plan whenever something moves.
Compliance risk
When mandatory training slips through the cracks, organisations face audit findings, safety gaps and regulatory exposure.
The solution
From requirements to an optimised schedule — automatically
AnchorPlan is designed to take everything that makes training planning hard and turn it into a clear, conflict-free schedule, so your team spends minutes reviewing instead of days rearranging.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Honest answers about where AnchorPlan is today and where it's heading.
Is AnchorPlan available to use now?
Not yet. AnchorPlan is in active development. We're inviting organisations to join early access to trial the product and help shape it as capabilities roll out.
Does it handle both online and in-person training?
Yes — AnchorPlan is designed to plan virtual and classroom sessions together in one schedule, accounting for room capacity, locations, trainer availability and shifts.
How much will it cost?
Pricing hasn't been finalised. Early-access partners get early visibility and influence over the plans. Get in touch and we'll keep you informed.
What data does AnchorPlan need?
Broadly: your training requirements, employee and team details, availability, session capacity and operational constraints. We plan to support importing this from spreadsheets, with HR and LMS integrations on the roadmap.
How will our data be handled?
At this stage the website only collects the details you send through the enquiry form so we can contact you. As the platform develops, security and tenant isolation are fundamental design requirements. See our privacy policy for details.
Does it rely on AI?
We choose the right approach for each problem. Much of scheduling is best solved with deterministic and constraint-based optimisation; AI is used where it genuinely helps, not for its own sake.
