What our customers say

Trusted by frontline teams

Hear how 5Mins customers use microlessons in their working day.

Our old compliance training took more than 3 hours. Now our team gets everything they need to know in about 20 minutes. People who've worked in hospitality for 5+ years were impressed. They can complete a lesson or two at a time, with headphones on, on the train or the bus to work.

Dimitar DimitrovDimitar DimitrovTraining Manager, Paris Baguette UK

I can't recommend 5Mins enough for hospitality. It's a fresh, learner-led system that's engaging to use.

Hannah Swarbrick-DoneHannah Swarbrick-DoneHead of People, Big Fang Collective

Before 5Mins, our training and compliance felt like a tick-box exercise because it didn't engage our colleagues. Now it's tailored to us, so it's relevant to our teams instead of generic.
