Tower Academy
A corporate academy for courses, classes and books
Tower Academy is the Silva Tower learning management system — a corporate academy. A company writes courses and books in a block editor, puts groups of people into classes, follows each person's progress and certifies them. It can also deliver classes to another company, which sees only its own people.
The problem it solves
Corporate training often lives in slide decks, shared folders and spreadsheets: nobody is sure who finished what, a course changes halfway through a class, and a training provider has no clean way to show each client the progress of its own people. Tower Academy keeps content, classes and records in one place — a published version never changes under a class, progress and grades are computed from what learners actually did, and every certificate can be checked publicly.
What it does
WYSIWYG block editor
Authors write lessons and books with headings, lists, tables, callouts, code, images, file attachments and YouTube or Vimeo videos, without touching HTML. Drafts save automatically, and publishing creates a version that never changes.
Classes, quizzes and assignments
A class delivers one course version to people and groups, with instructors and dates. A lesson can end with a quiz — practice or graded, from a question bank — or an assignment the learner writes in the editor, with files attached, and staff mark against a rubric.
Progress, reports and e-mail
Progress per learner and per class, reports by class, group and client (CSV and PDF), training requirements and learning paths. E-mail tells people about invitations, enrollments, reviewed work and certificates, plus deadline reminders and a weekly digest — each person chooses what they receive.
Certificates anyone can check
Issued when a class is completed, as a PDF with a QR code and a public page that checks it by its code. A certificate is revoked with a reason and issued again, never edited — and it states completion, not accreditation.
Train other companies
Invite a client's people as guest learners, or deliver a class to a company that is also on the platform: its Admin accepts, chooses who is enrolled, and its managers see only their own people. The content stays with the provider.
Books written by the class
A class can be a writing project in which each learner writes their own book, hands it in for review and shares it with the class library. Books export to PDF and EPUB, and a school can lay out and print a yearly book of its students' stories — with their photos and drawings made on screen.
Who it's for
- Companies that run onboarding, product training and mandatory training for their teams
- Training providers and consultancies that deliver classes to client companies
- Training managers and instructors who need to know who finished — and certify them
- Schools and organizations that publish books written by their students or members
Frequently asked questions
What is Tower Academy?
Tower Academy is a multi-tenant learning management system — a corporate academy. Each organization writes its own courses and books, runs classes for its people and groups, follows their progress and issues certificates. It runs at academy.silvatower.com, in Portuguese and English.
What can a lesson contain?
Text with headings, lists, tables, callouts and code; images and file attachments uploaded with the lesson (up to 25 MB each); and videos embedded from YouTube or Vimeo — video files themselves are not uploaded. A lesson can end with a quiz or an assignment.
Can I train people from another company?
Yes. A company that is not on the platform is registered as a client, and its people receive an invitation by e-mail and join as guest learners. A company that also uses Tower Academy receives a delivery: its Admin accepts it, chooses which of its people are enrolled, and its managers see the progress of their own people only. The course content stays with the provider, and either side can end the delivery.
Are the certificates accredited?
No. A Tower Academy certificate states that the person completed the class; it does not claim any academic or regulatory accreditation. Each one is a PDF with a QR code and a public page where anyone can check it by its code, and a certificate is revoked with a reason, never edited.
Does it use AI?
Only if your organization turns it on. AI is off by default and uses your organization's own Anthropic API key, billed to your account. Admins and Authors can then ask for a course outline, quiz questions or a translation; a draft becomes content only after a person approves it, the AI publishes nothing, and learners' data and work are never sent.
How do I get started?
Create your organization at academy.silvatower.com — you become its Administrator — and invite your team and your learners. Plans are not on sale yet; to talk about rolling Tower Academy out in your company, get in touch with us.
