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. Our goal is to empower individuals and organisations to perform and thrive.
From our home in the heart of the South Downs National Park, we have been delivering online learning solutions for over 25 years. Our goal is to empower individuals and organisations to perform and thrive.
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.
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.
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.
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!
We’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of training and development. We are a dynamic team of innovators, problem-solvers and industry-experts working to shape the future of learning and development – and we enjoy ourselves in the process!
The SkillGate LMS and courses are fully responsive so can be used on all devices.
In addition, the SkillGate App is available, allowing users to complete courses anytime, anywhere. Once downloaded, users can log in just once for uninterrupted access to all their training, ensuring a smooth, on-the-go learning experience, wherever they are.
Our years of experience in the online learning industry means that we have the insight to focus on what really delivers in terms of training without wasting time on expensive gimmicks.
We build our own software and courses in-house which saves on our overheads, and we pass these savings on to our customers.
We carry out regular customer satisfaction surveys and feedback from these, along with competitive tender information and results, provides us with the evidence we need to say with confidence that we offer excellent products and services at great prices.
This depends on the complexity of your system requirements. Very simple systems can be up and running in 24-48 hours, more complex systems may take 2-3 weeks, and very complex systems will take 4-6 weeks to fully set up.
In a word – yes. The SkillGate LMS will integrate with your existing HR and training platforms, streamlining your processes and eliminating the need for manual data entry.
