Where Skillcast wins
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and highly regulated sectors
Skillcast has a particularly strong proposition for organisations operating in highly regulated UK sectors, especially financial services and insurance. Its compliance libraries cover specialist areas such as FCA regulation, the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR), the Consumer Duty, financial crime and conduct risk.
While CompliQuest offers breadth across US, EU and international regulations, Skillcast has built its proposition around the UK and European compliance landscape.
Complete corporate compliance portal
Skillcast goes beyond delivering e-learning. Their all-in-one Compliance Portal combines training/an LMS with essential tools such as audit-trail software, policy management, staff disclosure tracking, registers, declarations, automation features and more.
First-rate customer service ratings
Skillcast has a Feefo Platinum-rated support history, and they offer a dedicated customer success manager as standard across all tiers.
Where CompliQuest wins
Broad global regulatory coverage
CompliQuest’s biggest advantage is the jurisdictions, laws and standards it covers. Their catalogue spans US regulations such as HIPAA, OSHA and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), as well as European requirements.
Custom-built training programmes
CompliQuest offers custom compliance programmes built by an expert team from scratch, designed around an organisation's policies, industry and regulatory environment. Skillcast provides ‘Edit with Aida’ for quick course customisation, and a ‘Bespoke’ service that can gamify learning and personalise training according to a specific company.
In-house professional compliance certifications
CompliQuest's professional certification programme goes beyond course completions and may appeal to organisations looking to support more formal compliance development.
