Train-Up! was for a short time a premium WordPress plugin. As of Febuary 2015 it is now open source. The reasoning for this move is a combination of difficulties in providing support to customers and recent changes to VAT law that affect micro business.
For those who purchased Train-Up! in the last 12 months you can still get support by emailing wptrainup at wptrainup dot co dot uk and providing your licence number.
The plugin was originally designed to make it easy for businesses to train their staff e.g. passing basic fire-safety test.
Simple example scenario:
- Sign up to employer's training website
- Select a level (e.g. fire safety part 1)
- Read training resources for that level
- Take a test on material studied
- Take one or more resits if necessary
- View results and communicate with manager for feedback
In terms of features it is similar to Sensei, LearnDash, Lifter and WP Courseware. However, selling your courses is not and never will be a goal of the project. (But, because in Train-Up! everything is 'just a page' you can quite easily still acheive this using existing third party e-commerce plugins).
The documentation is currently more of an overview of features. Help providing better docs would be greatly appreciated.

To interact with Train-Up! simply access tu() in your code. At any one time you will have access to tu()->post (the active WordPress post but wrapped with extra training-functionality) and tu()->user (the logged in trainee). You can also access the current level, resource, test, question or result post by using the aliases like so:
tu()->question->test->level->post_title
