Rocket Learning Rewards Review

By Rob Woods

I’ve spent years in learning and development, and one truth always holds: people rarely get excited about compliance modules or mandatory training. Even job specific, relevant training can become a chore. Enter Rocket Learning Rewards - a platform that adds the spark of gamification and the pull of real-world rewards.

Here’s the idea: Rocket plugs straight into your LMS, tracks who’s actually completing their learning, and turns those completions into points. No spreadsheets, no chasing people down. Learners then swap their points for rewards from a catalogue of over 3,000 brands - we’re talking Amazon, Spotify, Uber, Burger King, and many more. Suddenly, finishing that e-learning doesn’t just tick a box, it feels like unlocking the next level.

What I like about Rocket is that it doesn’t try to reinvent your learning platform, it turbocharges it. The admin side is light touch, but the learner side feels fresh and motivating. And in industries where training is often seen as a chore, that shift in energy can be the difference between deadlines missed and boxes ticked on time.

It’s playful, yes - but it’s also practical. Gamification only works if people care about the prize and Rocket’s catalogue of brands makes sure they do. It’s a clever way to make learning stickier, faster, and a lot more fun.

The feedback from clients makes the point better than I can. They talk about how Rocket makes compliance fun rather than a headache, and how the rewards catalogue is full of brands people genuinely want to earn from. Instead of chasing learners, managers are watching staff chase points. That flips the whole dynamic.

Closing thought

“Rocket Learning Rewards takes training from ‘have to’ to ‘want to’ - with rewards from Apple to Tesco to Greggs. And honestly, if I’m most excited about Greggs, maybe that’s the whole point: learning finally feels like a treat.”
