The Courts Service of Ireland Uses Totara Learns' Hierarchies to Deliver Learning Across the Organisation.
Overview
In 1999, the Courts Service of Ireland was established to manage the courts, support the judiciary, and provide high-quality services to all court users. Initially, their training programs were entirely classroom-based, with no online learning components. Recognizing the need for modernisation, the Courts Service sought a Learning Management System (LMS) that could accommodate their complex organisational structure and evolving training requirements.
Enovation was selected to implement the Totara LMS based on their extensive experience and commitment to excellence. With a strong track record of delivering high-quality LMS solutions, Enovation was well-positioned to provide a system tailored to the Courts Service’s unique needs. This partnership enabled the Courts Service to transition towards a scalable and effective digital learning environment.

- Consistent Digital Presence: To maintain brand integrity, it was imperative that the LMS seamlessly align with the Courts Service’s existing digital platforms.
- Advanced Seminar Management: Given the extensive face-to-face training sessions, the LMS required sophisticated seminar management features, including functionalities like waitlisting.
