Skilljar

External LMS for customer education and training

Visit Skilljar

Skilljar is an external learning management system for delivering training to customers, partners, and employees through branded Academy sites. It addresses the challenge of scaling education beyond one-to-one sessions by combining course delivery, certifications, paid training, and reporting in a single platform tied to business systems.

Core capabilities include customizable Academy sites with a low-code page builder, personalized learning paths, certificates and certifications (including proctored exams), and virtual instructor-led training. Monetization supports self-checkout, training credits, promo codes, and subscriptions via Stripe, PayPal, and Salesforce. Integrations and APIs connect with Salesforce, Gainsight, Google Analytics, Zoom, Webex, GoTo, Zendesk, and credentialing platforms such as LinkedIn, Credly, Accredible, and Caveon. Reporting covers enrollments, engagement, custom exports, and benchmarks. SSO is available for learners and admins, and the platform runs on AWS with SOC 2 Type II certification.

Skilljar is aimed at customer education teams and organizations training multiple audiences. Pricing combines an annual subscription with an active-user fee, across three editions: Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise, which add more Academy sites, premium integrations, content syndication, and external management. All plans include implementation support and access to Skilljar Academy, the Developer Center, and Help Center.
