“Skillsoft Delivers Diverse Professional Topics With Microlearning And LMS Integration”

5.0
Oct 30, 2025
Using Skillsoft has been a pretty solid experience for me. I liked how the platform offered a wide range of topics, especially those aligned with professional development and compliance, which are relevant to my role. The short, bite-sized modules made it easier to absorb information without feeling overwhelmed. and I also appreciated the interactive elements like quiz and scenario based learning, they helped reinforce the concepts better than just reading or watching videos. There were times when the interface felt a bit clunky, and some courses were a bit too generic, but overall, it's been a helpful tool for continuous learning and staying updated in my field.

Skillsoft Likes & Dislikes

Like

Wide range of Professional development Topics, they offers a broad library of courses covering leadership, compliance, IT, project management, and more. Microlearning Format, focused modules are great for busy schedules. Integration with Corporate Learning Systems. meaning it often integrates well with internal LMS platforms, making it easy to track progress, complete mandatory training, and align learning with company goals.

Like

It has a broad range of content, an intuitive interface and good scheduling capabilities

Like

I appreciated how we could input our own home grown training and info dumps for employees to review. Support was decently responsive so it felt like we had the experts on our back as we got familiar with the system. Employees seem to generally appreciate and like the UI of the system so as the primary users of the system, that is something we really appreciate!

Dislike

Limited interactivity in some modules. But overall experienced are great no comment about. I love the platform much.

Dislike

Skillsoft certifications are sometimes not considered industry standards, another thing is mobile functionality is sometimes more challenging than using my PC

Dislike

Not entirely sure if this is user error, but I don't think we have enough visibility into soft skills and a full understanding of where our population's skills are currently at and how training really improved those soft skills. I would love to see far more detailed analytics and trend data to see the changes over time as employees skill up.

    Dec 29, 2025
    I was introduced to Skillsoft through ATD, and was so impressed by the demo and features that encouraged my organization to purchase for our company. It has been such a great feature to deploy to employees and we have received outstanding feedback from our employees. The ease of use, quality content, and ability to scale out to our organization so easily has been a highlight of 2025. I would highly recommend to any company with the budget, looking to make an impact to the employee experience and leverage talent development across the org.

    Self-Paced E-Learning Modules Offer Flexibility and Comprehensive Content Variety

    5.0
    Oct 20, 2025
    I have utilized this platform for myself as a professional development tool as well as for my staff for training and development. I find it to be very useful and convenient as it allows a self-paced training environment. The e-learning modules are delivered on various platforms, which benefits all types of learners at various levels. This is extremely helpful during times when organizations can't afford to send staff to professional development opportunities due to budgetary restrictions.
