FAQs

How does pricing work for external learners?

We use a monthly pass model, so you only pay for learners who actively use the platform. It keeps costs predictable and easier to manage across learner groups.

Can we sell courses directly through Acorn?

Yes. Courses can include payments before enrollment, with built-in integrations to leading payment processors.

Can we create separate portals for different clients or partners?

Yes. You can create fully branded, independent tenants for each client, partner group, or association, each with their own content, permissions, and reporting. Beyond tenants, each one can have its own administrators, so every tenant can manage its own environment while still being governed centrally.

Can we embed Acorn’s content catalog into our own website?

Yes. Your catalog can be integrated directly into your website without consuming licenses. Our Universal Adapter also lets you pull content from other locations and centralize it within Acorn’s catalogue.

Can we control access and permissions across portals?

Yes. Each tenant can have its own permissions and content visibility rules, managed from a central admin view.

Can we report across multiple portals?

Yes. A site administrator can run reports across many tenants to see overall usage, while reporting can also be segmented by individual tenant or audience group—all managed from one central platform.

Does Acorn support multiple languages?

Yes. Acorn supports 17 languages managed at the tenancy and learner level, including:

– Albanian
– Bulgarian
– Croatian
– Czech
– English (Australia)
– English (US)
– French
– German
– Hungarian
– Italian
– Polish
– Romanian
– Serbian
– Slovak
– Spanish
– Ukrainian
– Vietnamese
