Skillport for university training
Overall Satisfaction with Skillport
Skillport is used across the entirety of our organization, and it is what we use for employees to be trained for our annual (and specialty) trainings. I use Skillport several times a year, and it is managed by our HR department. There are a lot of individuals who work for our organization, so it is helpful for training several thousand people and tracking that.
Pros
- Skillport is good at sending reminders for training and when your training is overdue.
- Skillport is accessible, and you can view all of your trainings on one page.
- Skillport is fairly intuitive for the user, which is good because it is utilized across a wide range of abilities.
Cons
- I've had issues in the past when I have completed a training, but it doesn't show up that it is completed.
- I think Skillport could be more visually pleasing.
- I'm not the person who manages the program, but from a user perspective it allows us to be ensured that our coworkers are going to be trained on the things it's essential everyone has some familiarity with.
- It allows flexibility in changing workplaces and doesn't leave large gaps of time for unstaffed offices (as in person training can do)
- It allows new employees to view their training schedule so they know what needs to be done.
I haven't used any other online training system except for Skillport, and I wasn't the person who selected it. However, our organization usually uses pretty decent technology when it comes to training, and I trust that they felt this was the best choice for our organization versus the alternative options.
