The service we receive is excellent. Skillcast continually introduces new features and platform improvements that make managing our training provision easier and more efficient. Their training content is engaging and refreshing, and since partnering with Skillcast, we've seen a clear increase in both participation and completion rates, along with more positive feedback from colleagues across the organisation.

The challenge

Before partnering with Skillcast, Market Harborough Building Society was looking for a learning platform that could better support its ambitions for a more modern, engaging, and seamless learning experience. The team wanted a system that was intuitive for colleagues to navigate and efficient for administrators to manage, helping streamline processes and enhance the overall user journey.

They were also seeking richer, more interactive training content to boost engagement and improve completion rates, alongside more sophisticated reporting tools to provide clear insights into compliance activity and learner progress.

Another priority was the flexibility to easily upload, tailor, and manage their own content to reflect the organisation's culture and evolving training needs. Stronger CPD tracking capabilities were also important to support colleague development more effectively. 

Together, these priorities shaped the Society's search for a platform that was more intuitive, engaging, and insight‑driven,  ultimately leading them to Skillcast.
