Celebrating Training Excellence: TalentLMS Announces 2026 Award Winners

TalentLMS 2026 Training Excellence Awards Winners Announced

On November 10, 2026, TalentLMS, a frontrunner in employee training solutions, revealed the outstanding winners of its prestigious 2026 Training Excellence Awards. These honors celebrate organizations and learning leaders that have effectively transformed training initiatives into measurable impacts on business and society through the use of TalentLMS's platform.

This year's award program saw an impressive influx of entries from around the globe, culminating in the introduction of the exciting new category: AI Learning Pioneer. This accolade recognizes innovative teams that have effectively integrated artificial intelligence into their training programs. The inaugural winner was FableticsOS, commended for constructing an AI-driven learning ecosystem encompassing content creation, translation, practical exercises, and coaching. With the help of TalentLMS's TalentCraft, the content development timeline saw a remarkable reduction from several weeks to just days. Additionally, AI-powered translation services helped localize learning materials in both German and French, while the Learning Playground feature provided learners the opportunity to practice customer interactions and receive immediate feedback.

The Gold award in the Top Training category was claimed by ACT Power Services, which initiated a comprehensive training program for field technicians operating around energized power systems—where safety is paramount. Their training completion rates surged from the low 80s to the high 90s within just two years, facilitated by TalentLMS's streamlined reporting system, effectively replacing outdated spreadsheet methods.

Evionica, an aviation training solutions provider, won Gold in the Great Results category by establishing a digital aviation training ecosystem through TalentLMS. This system caters to learners in flight schools and airlines, covering training from foundational levels to professional pilot instruction. By utilizing features like Branches, Learning Paths, and AI-driven translation, Evionica experienced a tenfold increase in active learners over five years. The platform now supports over 20,000 registered learners and collaborates with more than 300 aviation training organizations across over 50 countries, issuing over 75,000 certificates along the way.

Furthermore, the Social Impact category saw the Early Learning Coalition of Pasco and Hernando Counties (ELCPH) winning Gold for its initiative, The Promise Institute. This professional development hub for early childhood educators transitioned from in-person training to on-demand learning via TalentLMS, successfully delivering structured learning to over 2,000 participants. Educators reported increased confidence in effective practices and improved classroom management strategies, while ELCPH leveraged enhanced reporting tools to assess participation and identify learning gaps.

Dr. Alicia Smart, a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of TheraHive, earned the Training Trailblazer Award for her efforts in innovating the teaching of evidence-based mental health skills. Through TalentLMS, her program combines interactive lessons and live, facilitator-led sessions with experiential exercises, enabling her to launch resources such as a Parent Program and various public webinars—all enhanced by an AI-powered Practice Partner feature designed to assist learners in mastering DBT skills through simulated conversations.

Stella Lee, Director of Paradox Learning and an expert in eLearning, one of the judges for this year's awards, noted that while the winning programs came from diverse industries with various team sizes and budgets, the most successful initiatives began with identifying real problems and focusing on the learner's needs rather than merely on available courses or tools. This learner-centric approach is crucial for converting completed training into practical, applicable knowledge.

Each Gold award recipient will receive a series of personalized consulting sessions with Stella Lee to further enhance their successes and develop their training programs.
