How are Llama Bites different from full courses?

Llama Bites are designed for quick, focused learning while full courses provide comprehensive coverage of complex topics.

Length: Llama Bites are 5-10 minutes, while full courses can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on compliance requirements.
Focus: Llama Bites concentrate on a single concept or skill, while full courses cover multiple related topics in depth.
Use case: Llama Bites work well for reinforcement, refreshers, or supplemental learning. Full courses are designed for initial training and compliance requirements.
Compliance: Full courses meet specific state and federal mandates. Llama Bites are supplemental and don't replace, but enhance mandated training.

When should I assign Llama Bites?

Llama Bites are ideal for:

Reinforcement training after completing a full course
Just-in-time learning when a specific skill or topic is immediately relevant
Onboarding to introduce key concepts without overwhelming new employees
Ongoing development throughout the year to maintain engagement and knowledge retention
Supplemental training during off years when full recertification isn't required
Quick refreshers for teams who need targeted reminders on specific topics

Can Llama Bites fulfill compliance requirements?

No. Llama Bites are supplemental training and don't replace state or federal mandated courses. For compliance training, assign the appropriate full-length course for your location and industry.

However, Llama Bites are valuable for reinforcing compliance concepts and can be used alongside required training to strengthen understanding and retention.

Do Llama Bites use seats?

Yes, assigning a Llama Bite will use a seat. If you would like to assign Llama Bites, we recommend an Unlimited Seats subscription, which allows you to assign as many courses as you’d like to each Learner using only one seat per learner per subscription year.
