Say it plainly
If a training team would not use the words, we should not put them on the screen. Software ought to sound like the work it supports.
Afanor and Hawdren
Built for people who keep training moving
Afanor is a Hawdren product — software for organisations that train, support and develop people, and are tired of doing it from five different places.
“Good training work should be easy to see, easy to do and easy to keep going.”
Why Afanor exists
Why we built this
Less chasing. More teaching.
Training teams already know their learners. The problem is that the facts live in too many places, and the next person to pick up the phone cannot see them.
Afanor is our answer: one place for the people you support, the courses you run and the qualifications you need to keep in date — written in language a busy administrator would actually use.
Hawdren designs and builds that software, and stays close enough to help when the work changes.
How we work
A few things we will not compromise on
These ideas shape the product, the writing on the site, and the way we work with the organisations that use Afanor.
Useful on an ordinary Tuesday
The test is not a demo. It is whether check-in, a late booking or an expiring award is easier than it was yesterday.
Stay close to the people using it
Afanor grows by listening to the administrators, trainers and learners who live with it every week.
