1What this role really is

This role is all about keeping our learning platforms running smoothly and making sure our colleagues can actually use them without pulling their hair out. You'll be the go-to person for our core learning systems, sorting out day-to-day issues and making sure everything's configured correctly. Think of yourself as the engine room for our digital learning—if you do your job well, everyone else gets to learn easily. If things go wrong, well, that's when the emails start piling up.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Resolving a learner's login issueEscalate to supervisor for guidance and resolution.Independently troubleshoot and resolve, escalating to IT support only if it's an underlying network or SSO problem.Oversee the resolution, potentially guiding junior team members, and identify if it's a systemic issue requiring a broader fix.
Configuring new course settings (e.g., audience, completion criteria)Follow detailed instructions from supervisor; get all settings reviewed before publishing.Independently configure based on content team's requirements, double-checking for accuracy before publishing. Propose minor improvements to settings.Define best practice configuration standards for new course types, advise content team, and review configurations for complex programmes.
Proposing a small improvement to platform functionalitySuggest ideas to supervisor, but don't expect to lead implementation.Research potential solutions, document the problem and proposed fix, and present to manager for approval and potential implementation.Scope out the technical requirements, assess impact, and present a fully-formed business case for the improvement, potentially leading the implementation.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Support Ticket Resolution Time (Tier 1)
How quickly you sort out common user problems like password resets, course access issues, or simple content errors.
Target · Average <8 hours

If a learner can't access a mandatory compliance course, you'll aim to get them back on track within a few hours, not days. We'll track the average time from ticket opening to resolution.

Course Upload & Configuration Accuracy
The percentage of courses you publish or update that don't have any errors (like wrong dates, incorrect audience settings, or broken links).
Target · 99.5% accuracy

Out of 20 courses uploaded this month, you'd expect no more than one minor error. It means checking your work before hitting 'publish' and double-checking settings.

Learner Support CSAT (Customer Satisfaction)
How happy our learners are with the help you provide when they have a tech issue.
Target · >4.5/5.0 rating

After you've helped someone, they'll get a quick survey. We're looking for consistent high scores, showing you're not just fixing problems but doing it with a helpful, clear approach.

Learning Data Export & Report Accuracy
The reliability of the data you pull from our systems for L&D colleagues or business leads.
Target · 100% accuracy for routine reports

When a business unit asks for a list of everyone who completed a specific course, that list needs to be spot-on. No missing people, no extra people. It's about careful data handling.

Proactive Issue Spotting
You're not just waiting for problems to come to you; you're spotting potential issues before they blow up.
  • You'll flag potential system glitches, notice patterns in user complaints, or suggest improvements to platform settings before they become major headaches. Your manager will say, 'Glad you caught that!' more often than not.
Effective Collaboration with L&D Content Team
How well you work with the folks who build the actual learning content, making sure their courses get onto the platform smoothly.
  • Content designers will tell your manager that you're easy to work with, responsive, and help them understand the tech side of things. You'll proactively offer advice on how to get their content working best on the LMS.
Clear Communication on Technical Issues
When things go wrong, you can explain what's happening and what you're doing about it in plain English, not tech jargon.
  • Learners and L&D colleagues will understand your explanations. You'll get feedback like, 'Thanks for making that clear' or 'I finally get why that's happening.' No one should feel confused after talking to you.
Contribution to System Optimisation Ideas
You're not just maintaining the status quo; you're thinking about how we can make our learning tech even better.
  • You'll bring forward ideas for small improvements, automation, or better ways to configure the system. These might be things you've noticed from user behaviour or just 'what if we tried this?' moments.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Puzzles & Fixing Things

You get a real kick out of figuring out why something isn't working and then making it right. It's that 'aha!' moment when you trace a bug back to its source or find the perfect configuration setting. You enjoy the investigative work of troubleshooting.

A learner reports that a specific module isn't marking as complete. You'll dig into the SCORM logs, check the course settings, and test different browsers until you pinpoint the exact issue and get it resolved, feeling a real sense of accomplishment.

Making Things Easier for Others

You genuinely want to help people have a smooth learning experience. When you resolve a user's problem or streamline a process, you feel good knowing you've removed a barrier for them. You appreciate direct feedback from grateful users.

After you've helped someone quickly regain access to a crucial course, they send you a thank you email. That positive feedback, knowing you've made their day a little less stressful, is a big motivator for you.

Mastering a System & Its Quirks

You enjoy becoming the expert on a particular piece of software. You'll dive into the admin manuals, explore every setting, and understand its limitations and capabilities inside out. You like being the person who knows 'how the LMS really works'.

You'll spend time exploring a new feature in Cornerstone OnDemand, understanding its nuances, and then being able to confidently explain to the content team how they can best use it for their next course.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Netflix for Learning' Fallacy: People expect a seamless, AI-driven experience but don't understand the tech limitations or budget realities.
  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Your efforts to personalise learning are often hampered by messy, incomplete employee data from the HR system.
  • The IT Roadblock: Simple integrations or security reviews can take months, slowing down your ability to get things done.
  • Adoption Theater: You launch a fantastic new feature, only for usage to drop off after a couple of weeks as people revert to old habits.
  • Vendor Overpromise, Underdeliver: The sales demo looked amazing, but the reality of the platform is often clunky and buggy.
What this role does not give you
  • Constant greenfield development—you're mostly working with existing systems, not building new ones from scratch.
  • A quiet, uninterrupted work environment—expect ad-hoc requests and urgent support tickets throughout the day.
  • Complete control over the tech roadmap—you'll contribute ideas, but strategic decisions sit higher up.
  • Freedom from legacy systems—we've got some older tech that you'll need to understand and support.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts how effectively our entire workforce can access and complete their learning. You're the one making sure the tech works, which means less frustration for learners and better data for L&D to make decisions. Get it right, and you help improve employee skills and engagement. Get it wrong, and you're creating roadblocks for everyone trying to develop.

Inside the business
  • L&D Content Team (Instructional Designers)
  • HR Operations (for user data and integrations)
  • IT Support (for technical issues and access)
  • Business Unit Learning Leads (your main 'customers')
  • Individual Learners (who you'll help directly)
Outside the business
  • LMS/LXP Vendors (e.g., Cornerstone OnDemand, Degreed)
  • Authoring Tool Support (e.g., Articulate 360)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience administering an LMS or LXP (e.g., Cornerstone OnDemand, Workday Learning, Degreed, Docebo) or similar enterprise system.
  • Demonstrable experience in troubleshooting technical issues for end-users, ideally in a learning or HR tech context.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and basic data manipulation.
  • A solid understanding of common learning content formats like SCORM and how they work within a learning platform.
  • Experience working with a ticketing system (e.g., Jira, Zendesk) for managing support requests.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Intermediate SQL for Learning Data

As we collect more granular learning data, being able to query databases directly will let you pull custom reports that aren't available through standard LMS interfaces. This means richer insights and less reliance on others for data.

SELECT, FROM, WHERE clauses · JOIN operations · Aggregation functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG) · Basic Data Cleaning with SQL

  • This week: Find an online SQL tutorial (e.g., Codecademy, SQLZoo) and complete the beginner modules.
  • This month: Get access to our learning data warehouse (with appropriate permissions) and practice running simple SELECT queries.
  • Month 2: Try to write a SQL query to answer a question that you currently answer with Excel.
  • Month 3: Collaborate with a data analyst to understand how they use SQL for more complex reporting.

Quick win: Start by simply querying user lists or course catalogues from a database. It's a low-risk way to get familiar with the syntax.

Advanced LMS/LXP Configuration & Optimisation

You'll move beyond basic administration to really optimising our platforms. This means understanding advanced settings, knowing how to tailor the user experience, and making the system work harder for us.

Custom Learning Paths & Curations · Advanced User Group Management · Single Sign-On (SSO) Troubleshooting · Platform Branding & Customisation

  • This week: Dive deep into the admin manual for our primary LMS/LXP, looking for features you haven't used.
  • This month: Take a vendor-specific training course on advanced administration for our core platform.
  • Month 2: Propose and implement a small, approved customisation or new learning path.
  • Month 3: Document a 'power user' guide for a specific platform feature for your team.

Quick win: Identify one small area of our LMS that could be better configured for a specific audience and propose a change to your manager.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending webinars and online courses from our core LMS/LXP vendors to stay up-to-date on new features and best practices.
  • Joining online communities or forums for learning technology professionals to share knowledge and troubleshoot common issues.
  • Reading industry blogs and publications (e.g., Learning Technologies, CLO Magazine) to keep an eye on emerging trends.
  • Participating in internal L&D 'lunch and learn' sessions to understand the content creation and instructional design side of things.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Learning Technology Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, some parts of managing learning tech can be a bit of a grind. But what if you could offload the repetitive, time-consuming stuff to AI? We're not talking about robots taking over, but smart tools that help you get more done, faster, so you can focus on the interesting problems.

Imagine having a digital assistant that helps you tag content, analyse learner feedback, and even draft those tricky vendor comparison reports. That's the reality we're building towards. You'll use AI to make your daily work smoother, giving you back hours every week.

Content Intelligence & Auto-Tagging

Use AI to automatically scan new learning content (videos, articles, courses) and tag it against our company's skills taxonomy. This means less manual work for you and better, more relevant recommendations for learners. No more inconsistent tagging!

Learner Sentiment Analysis

Feed open-ended survey feedback, forum comments, and chatbot logs into an AI tool. It'll instantly identify common themes, points of friction, and emerging needs from learners, giving you faster and unbiased insights into what's working and what isn't.

RFP & Vendor Analysis Accelerator

When we're looking at new learning tools, use an AI assistant to ingest mountains of vendor documentation and RFP responses. Ask it to summarise key features, compare platforms against our requirements, and flag potential risks. It'll drastically cut down on your review time.

Business Case & Comms Drafting

Got a tricky email to send to a vendor or need to draft a quick summary of a project for your manager? Provide an AI model with your goals and key points, and it'll generate a solid first draft for you to refine. It's great for overcoming 'blank page' syndrome.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Learning Technology Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Learning Technology Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.
