Why skills development?
Skills development is not new, so what’s the big deal?
The concept of skills development has been around for decades. So, why is it such a hot topic…again? Traditional learning platforms continue to use self-assessment methods for determining skill mastery. This leads to misalignment with actual skill mastery because the learner doesn’t know what they don’t know. Learning content that is not tailored to individual needs results in disengaged learners and a lackluster experience. No one has been able to deliver on the promise of skills development and do it right. Until now. CYPHER Learning has the magic modern learners expect.

How CYPHER modernizes skills development
If businesses want to see some serious skills growth, they can't just stop at the hiring stage. Personalized skills development must be a key part of their talent management strategy. Let's not forget about schools and universities, too! If they want their students to really shine and reach their full potential, they need to go beyond just teaching and make personalized skills development a core part of their educational strategy. CYPHER brings a new school approach to an old school model making personalized skills development a reality.
Competency-based learning
CYPHER goes beyond traditional ad-hoc and topic based skills development with competency-based learning that delivers customized experiences.
CYPHER delivers personalization, precision, and proactive recommendations at scale. There is clarity of level mastery for each competency, recommendations based on what is needed to master remaining competencies, and multiple assessments of each competency for reliable results.

Insightful assessments
Single exams on broad topics disguise gaps. Choose from over 16 assessment types, including question banks, essays, gamification, and self-evaluation for learners to demonstrate proficiency and competency.
Trainers and teachers can better assess the learner’s needs and modify instruction or eliminate skill gaps as needed.

2Set competencies
Take a competency-based approach and automate associated competencies with learning content and resources such as courses and groups to help your learners achieve mastery.
3Get proactive recommendations
The CYPHER platform provides personalized and proactive recommendations that can be a variety of resources such as courses, learning paths, or groups. Recommendations make it easier for learners to up-skill and reach their learning goals. Proactive recommendations are at the heart of personalized learning - tailored to each person’s learning journey.

Get more time to teach and train! After setting-up rules that are triggered when learners reach their goals, the platform automatically awards badges, certificates, sends custom messages, enrolls learners in other courses, and more.
5Track goals progress
Create personalized learning paths. Learners get an overview of all the goals they are working on by checking their dashboard or their profile page. There is also an overview page for each goal they are working towards. From there, they can easily put a particular goal on pause or remove it.

Build community and make connections in real-time. Learners use the Q&A forum to ask questions and get support to easily reach their active goals. Collaboration takes place at an organization, business, or network level, making it easy to connect and be part of a learning community. Only CYPHER offers a Universal Translator for real-time communications and a Green Dot activity indicator to show course and participant popularity.
