Spark offline app

  • Updated

The Spark LMS has an option which allows users to take training offline and use in an environment where no internet connection is available. This can be helpful in some industrial locations and particularly useful for training groups of users in these situations.

The app is available for MacOS and Windows desktop computers only - it will not operate on iOS, iPadOS or Android operating systems. The system requirements for the app are below.
