By combining personalized learning with flexibility, Relias Academy empowers healthcare professionals to strengthen their skills on their schedule
Relias, the trusted multi-solution workforce enablement platform partner to 12,000 healthcare organizations and 4.5 million caregivers, announced today that Relias Academy was recognized in Newsweek’s list of America’s Top Online Learning Providers 2025.
Relias Academy provides healthcare professionals across many disciplines with opportunities for evidence-based professional development and continuing education. Clinicians can meet license requirements and advance their care practices with Relias Academy’s education content from anywhere with internet access.
More than 150,000 nurses and allied health professionals rely on Relias for continuing education, accessing over 4,000 courses designed to help them meet industry requirements while prioritizing patient care.
“A strong healthcare system starts with a well-trained workforce, and learning should never be a barrier to excellence — it should be the catalyst,” said Kay Krafft, Relias CEO. “This recognition from Newsweek reflects our commitment to ensuring every healthcare professional is equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to deliver exceptional care.”
More than 10,000 students and online learners across the U.S. participated in an independent survey, identifying America’s Top Online Learning Providers 2025. Unlike similar industry awards that require submissions, this recognition is based entirely on direct feedback from learners. Learning providers were evaluated on key criteria, including:
- Overall satisfaction
- Support and service
- Organization & accessibility
- Cost of program
- Organizational reputation
Relias Academy earned a 5-star rating, the highest possible distinction, highlighting the trust and satisfaction of its customers.
“It’s easy to trust Relias. They’re always on top of keeping the content up to date, and when we need a course that we didn’t need before, it’s almost always available in our library already,” said Lisa Nelson, Assistant Director at AltaPointe Health Systems, Inc. “I really love the In Sessions courses. It’s a different way to learn something. Instead of just providing knowledge and information, it takes you to the next level of learning — it takes it that much closer to real-life situations.”
This marks the third consecutive year Relias Academy has received this recognition from Newsweek, highlighting a continued commitment to delivering high-quality education that healthcare professionals trust.
“My priority is to maximize the customer experience, ensuring that healthcare professionals have access to education that fits into their lives and supports their career growth,” said Candace Wallace, Chief Customer Officer at Relias. “Healthcare workers are diverse and have demanding schedules, so we prioritize personalization — mapping courses to their licensure requirements and interests — to help them make the most of their time on Relias Academy.”
“We’re not handing out one-size-fits-all training,” continued Wallace. “We’re creating learning experiences that are flexible, engaging, and directly relevant to the challenges they face every day. Healthcare is always changing, and at Relias, we pride ourselves on evolving alongside our learners, so they always have a trusted partner to help them grow and succeed in their careers.”
