About Us

From our home in the heart of the South Downs National Park, we have been delivering online learning solutions for over 25 years.

We combine cutting-edge technology with a commitment to effective training, flexibility and exceptional customer service.

About SkillGate

Innovative and experienced training and development software provider based in the heart of the South Downs National Park

Beyond learning

At SkillGate, we combine innovation, adaptability, and human support to deliver smart, flexible training solutions that put people first.

Our head office is based in the South Downs National Park, and our team is based all over the country – from Aberdeen to Kent.

We pride ourselves on our understanding of different learning needs and our commitment to customer service.

We are driven by our three
company values:

Effective learning

Our years of experience in the industry coupled with the fact that we build our software and courses in-house mean that we have the insight to focus on what really delivers in terms of training.

We spend a lot of time analysing system usage, completion rates and feedback from customers in order to consider, design and test new training techniques. This means that we are best placed to know what really works so we can offer the most effective learning options to our customers.

Adaptability

Every organisation is different, so it follows that every organisation’s training needs will be different. A one size fits all approach to learning and development won’t work. This is why our systems and courses have been developed to be highly adaptable and customisable.

Whether you have 10 or 10,000 people in your organisation, a SkillGate system will work for you. Our portfolio of products and modular approach means you can build your system as you go, adding or removing elements as you need them. Our courses can be customised and edited instantly, and bespoke courses can be created quickly and professionally by the SkillGate Studio team, or by you, with our SmartAuthor course authoring tool.

The Human Touch

In this fast-paced, technological world in which we live, we don’t forget – it’s people that matter.

At SkillGate we pride ourselves on our commitment to our people. Whether that’s offering the best customer service we can, or creating a happy and inclusive workplace, people are at the heart of what we do.

From skilled tutors, to wellbeing pros, from experienced consultants, to friendly customer support staff, we believe learning solutions are about much more than software – it’s the people that make the difference!

What our customers say
“… the Traffic Light system has been a fantastic solution to help monitor mandatory online training requirements. Automation helps to ensure the correct training is allocated consistently, and team dashboards provide full visibility on compliance stats of our people to help drive uptake.”
John Cottiss
Senior Digital Learning Manager
Southeastern Rail
“The service we have received from SkillGate, from initial set up through to ongoing LMS support has been excellent, especially in terms of general communication and responsiveness to queries.”
Lyn Smith
L&D Support Officer
Charnwood Borough Council
“The customer service I get from SkillGate is amazing. Not only do I get an almost immediate reply whenever I get in touch, but I love the fact that the reply is always tailored to my needs and my system rather than a blanket ‘watch this video’ or ‘read this document’ approach.”
Clare Ashton
Training Manager
Rykneld Homes
“I love the courses, the way they are put together and the value for money they bring to the organisation. I learn more this way than on any other learning I have ever been on. I get distracted easily, but these draw you in, you have to focus, they create learning as they go along through regular questions and updates. Great stuff.”
Ashley Green
CEO
Gloucester City Homes
“We have found SkillGate extremely helpful during the implementation stages and with the on-going support we receive. It is an effective, efficient and simple platform to use for those of us managing it, and also for all our staff to use.”
Samantha Knight
Senior L&D Business Partner
West Suffolk Council
