Personalized certification
Unlock modern and efficient certification with the CYPHER
Award-winning platform for training
CYPHER has received multiple awards for our innovative learning technology, including Forbes Advisor’s “Best Overall Employee Training Software” and “Best LMS."
A learning platform for certification and credit-based programs
When it comes to selecting an LMS for your certification programs, the platform should enable you to: develop and manage content; guide learners with certification paths; track earned credits; assess and collaborate; track, report, and improve; and customize and share certifications.
However, CYPHER goes beyond the standard capabilities, enabling you to develop more effective and efficient certification programs. If you want to save time and resources, easily keep content up to date, provide personalized learning at scale, ensure your certification programs meet accreditation standards, and more, choose CYPHER.
Develop and manage content
A learning management system (LMS) serves as a centralized hub for storing and managing certification program materials, including lectures, reading materials, videos, and quizzes. This consolidation enables instructors and trainers to efficiently organize and update certification program content, while simultaneously providing learners with seamless access to materials.
However, with traditional LMSs, there’s a disconnect between content development and content delivery. A truly modern learning platform integrates tech stacks and workflows to accelerate content and course creation. This integration optimizes efficiency and results in a more engaging and tailored learning experience.
Skills creation and mastery
CYPHER enhances certification programs and saves you time by automatically creating and mapping competencies to course content. This comprehensive approach ensures certification programs align with and cover all accreditation standards. Choose from CYPHER’s diverse array of over 5,000 pre-built skills or upload your own. With the platform’s coverage analysis, you can see which areas of your course cover the required skills and how well. Use this information to easily demonstrate that your courses meet accreditation standards or to understand where you need to strengthen your content.

About course development and delivery

CYPHER content options
Guide learners with certification paths
Learning paths enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of certification programs by providing a structured progression, a personalized learning experience, a clear roadmap to certification, and flexibility and adaptability.
Traditional LMSs are limited when it comes to providing highly customizable learning paths. While some may offer basic features for sequencing courses or grouping them based on categories, the level of customization tends to be restricted. These systems may lack the flexibility to create intricate or personalized learning paths that cater to individual learners’ needs or specific skills. Compared to modern training platforms, they don’t offer the same degree of adaptability in designing tailored learning journeys that dynamically adjust to each learner's pace, preferences, or prior knowledge.
Customizable certification and learning paths
CYPHER Learning enables you to craft personalized certification journeys and learning paths. Learning paths can seamlessly integrate courses, content pages, videos, assessments, and more, guiding learners to achieve their certification goals. Track progress effortlessly and create rules to automatically reward learners with certifications upon completion, streamlining the certification experience and decreasing administrative drudgery.
About learning paths
Credit-based certification paths
Assign credit values to courses within paths. As learners complete each requirement, CYPHER records their earned credits and updates their progress toward certification and continuing professional development goals. Learners can see how many credits they have earned. Administrators gain centralized visibility making it easier to manage complex certification journeys at scale.
Automation and adaptive learning
Personalize the certification experience with CYPHER’s adaptive learning feature. Create rules that automatically hide and reveal modules, assessments, and learning paths based on learners’ progress, ensuring content mastery before moving to the next module. As learners progress and meet the required prerequisites, the system will automatically unlock and display the relevant learning content. Elevate teaching and training with personalized learning to maximize efficiency and engagement.
