Case Study: Timber Trade Federation (TTF) delivers a UK-wide blended learning online academy for the timber industry with Totara

Ttf Deploys Online Learning to the Uk’s £10 Billion Timber Industry With Totara Learn

The Timber Trade Federation (TTF) represents two‑thirds of the UK’s £10 billion timber industry and sought to address a long‑standing lack of consolidated staff education. Members operated in silos with no shared career development framework, so TTF needed a centralised, blended learning platform that could deliver industry‑specific training, generic business skills, remote coursework submission, trainer coaching and metrics to measure engagement across thousands of users.

Totara partner Cortexa built a multi‑tenant Totara Learn academy with individualised learning pathways for importers, merchants, agents and manufacturers, enabling blended programmes and easy administration by TTF staff. The platform launched quickly, has generated strong interest and positive feedback, and TTF reports an efficient, feature‑rich LMS that supports professional development, sharing of best practice and improved member engagement.
