Most of what gets written about eProfessor assumes you're selling something: a course, a certification, a coaching program. But a good chunk of the teams using the platform aren't selling anything at all. They're running onboarding, compliance, and internal skills training for their own employees, with no checkout flow in sight.

That's actually closer to where eProfessor started. Long before course sales were part of the platform, it began as a tool for building quizzes and assessments. Using it as a free, invite-only training portal isn't a workaround bolted onto a commerce product, it's close to the original use case the platform was built around.

We just published a full setup guide for exactly this: Setting Up eProfessor for Internal Employee Training.

What the guide covers

The walkthrough is structured around the decisions that actually differ when you're not running a storefront:

Branding your portal so it reads as an internal company tool, not a third-party platform, down to setting your organization's actual name and connecting a custom domain like training.yourcompany.com.

Closing public registration, since there's no catalog you want strangers browsing. Every employee gets added deliberately, not through open sign-up.

Adding employees at scale, whether that's one new hire at a time or a full CSV import for a larger rollout.

Structuring courses around how training actually breaks down: onboarding, compliance, and ongoing skills development, all priced at Free, with real assessments attached to the lessons that matter rather than relying on course completion alone to prove anything.

Issuing certificates automatically for compliance training that needs a paper trail, with guidance on getting your company's name front and center on the certificate itself instead of a generic course title.

Tracking who's actually engaging, using the same progress and reporting tools built for paid courses, just pointed at your own team instead of customers.

Who this is for

If you're in HR, L&D, or just the person who got handed "can you set up our training platform" as a side project, this guide walks through the setup in order, with a checklist at the end so you can confirm nothing got missed.
