Before working with Skillcast, our mandatory and refresher training was a labour-intensive process focused on administration and keeping materials up to date. Now, it’s a system that delivers 100% compliance with up-to-date and relevant material. It has freed us up as a business to concentrate far more on the learner experience instead of ticking boxes.”
