Tailored off-the-shelf eLearning was the perfect solution for these clients:

eLearning company UK

Cyber4Dev

SkillSet delivered a tailored off-the-shelf cyber security eLearning course for Cyber Resilience for Development (Cyber4Dev), aimed at organisations across Latin America.

The training needed to address the specific cyber security needs of these organisations while being accessible in both English and Spanish.

The challenge was to adapt generic off-the-shelf eLearning content to meet the precise requirements of Cyber4Dev’s diverse audience and ensure it was culturally and contextually relevant.

Frequently asked questions:

What is off-the-shelf eLearning?

Off-the-shelf (OTS) eLearning refers to existing training content available for purchase and use by a wide range of organisations. OTS courses are designed using a generic approach to cater to a broad audience rather than specific organisations. As a result, OTS content is usually cheaper than bespoke alternatives and can be deployed rapidly.

What is the difference between bespoke off-the-shelf eLearning?

Bespoke eLearning offers content that is finely tuned to an organisation’s specific industry, culture, and learning objectives. In contrast to bespoke material, off-the-shelf eLearning refers to existing training content available for purchase and use by a wide range of organisations. Read more in our blog post: What Is Bespoke eLearning?

What Are the Benefits of Off-the-Shelf eLearning?

We have two blog posts on this topic:

Five Benefits of Customised Training

 

Benefits of Off-the-Shelf Health and Safety eLearning

What are the drawbacks of off-the-shelf eLearning?

OTS eLearning has one major disadvantage: the scope for customisation is usually limited or even non-existent. While some adjustments may be possible, generic eLearning content won’t reflect the precise needs of an organisation or how it operates. This means that readers may struggle to understand how the content applies to them.

At SkillSet, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach will rarely completely satisfy the needs of an individual client. Therefore, we offer the best of both worlds: a unique blend of bespoke and tailored off-the-shelf eLearning.

 
What makes SkillSet's off-the-shelf eLearning superior to other content providers?

Our tailored off-the-shelf eLearning provides the best of both worlds: the convenience of ready-made courses with the adaptability to ensure the material is relevant and effective for your organisation’s needs.

These courses can be modified to include your organisation’s branding, specific scenarios, and integrated materials. This approach ensures rapid deployment and scalability, making it easy to roll out training across your workforce swiftly.
