Common Questions

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?
Yes, so they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?
A comprehensive solution usually requires more than just training. In addition to e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys and registers to track compliance tasks are often essential. Skillcast provides all the support you need to set up these additional tools.

Where can I track incidents involving personal data?
Tools such as a Data Breach Register enable you to log, track, and respond to data breaches and similar incidents efficiently. Skillcast offers this tool, making it easy to document and manage incidents in line with compliance requirements.

How can I ensure that employees formally attest to our internal Data Protection Policy?
Our Policy Hub tool allows you to easily assign policies, track when employees read them, and capture their attestation with a simple digital acknowledgement. The tool also provides automated reminders to employees who haven't yet acknowledged the policy, ensuring full compliance and a clear audit trail.

Course Overview

All courses include assessments to measure knowledge retention and effectiveness.
Comprehensive reporting tools provide detailed diagnostics, highlighting problem areas and specific risks within your organisation.
Monitor your employees' progress through real-time dashboards that track course completion and assessment results.
Customised feedback reports identify knowledge gaps, enabling you to focus on where training is needed most.
