    Codecademy from Skillsoft is well suited to persons who wish to quickly acquire practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied to support their work or project. On the other hand, Codecademy from Skillsoft is probably not appropriate for those looking for a more theoretical approach to the subject matter.

    When government guidelines suggested staff work from home, the home working course was enabled on our user accounts and it created a timely [way] to gather data and react in light of the pandemic. Certain health and safety training is not covered specifically to our company policies in courses, but we have recently received the legionella risk course and are aware of a course builder which could also house this need.

    Pros
    Skillsoft
    • The content is relevant to our projects, and therefore adds value to our goals.
    • The content is delivered in a way that is conducive to adult learning, e.g., chunked into bite-size amounts (not overwhelming), uses language that is easy to understand (no technical jargon), a good mix of didactic content and quizzes (the latter adds an element of interaction).
    • The user interface is logical and user-friendly.
    • Codecademy from Skillsoft makes it easy to track your progress, not only within a course, but also relative to your weekly target.

    • Houses CPD accredited training which can be used to train our employees.
    • For our organization, the use of single sign on allows our users to easily access the platform without any hassle and it works on different devices which allows for flexibility when completing a course.
    • Provides great tools for achieving completion from our employees on the training assigned to them such as a clear training course with attractive infographics to keep our users engaged when using.
    • Unique and pro-active work force: our account manager Bianca has always displayed care, support and professionalism during every conversation with timely actions turned around from any meetings.

    • Price too high, students cannot pay 150 euro per year

    • The reporting system can be initially confusing to use unless you receive training - which we did with our account manager and are now confident in getting reports.

    It would be 10 but for the fact that sometimes, the transition from training to test is not smooth. The user can finish the course but not be prompted to proceed to doing the test. This makes us have incomplete Profiles on the system sometimes. The issue with this is that some people might not receive their DSE equipment.
