In a world where everyone’s “busy learning,” how do you actually know if your people get it?

That’s where Knowledge Checks come in…The smarter way to validate real learning. (not just activity!)

It’s a simple, flexible, no-nonsense feature that helps you move beyond content completion and start measuring actual capability. Because let’s be honest – when you’re in a small-but-mighty L&D team, you don’t have time to waste on guesswork.

Here’s how it works:

🛠 Pick a skill
🎯 Set a task
👀 Review the learner’s submission
💬 Drop in your feedback

Done.

Whether you’re validating onboarding, checking skill development, or keeping compliance tight, Knowledge Checks help you close the loop between learning and doing.

Why L&D teams love it:

Know they actually got it

Anyone can mark a course complete. But that doesn’t mean they understood it.

With Knowledge Checks, you can easily assess real understanding-no extra tools, no heavy workflows. Just proof they know their stuff.

🔄 Feedback that fuels growth

Learning shouldn’t be a one-way street.

Give personalised feedback, nudge learners in the right direction, and create a culture of continuous improvement without overloading your team.

⚙️ Fits your workflow, not the other way around

Lean team? No problem.

Knowledge Checks are lightning-fast to create and flexible enough for any use case – onboarding, compliance, or a niche skill your team needs to master ASAP.

📈 Show progress that actually matters

You’re not just building knowledge, you’re building capability.

Knowledge Checks give you visibility into how your people are really developing. That’s the kind of data the business cares about.

Bonus: Perfect for compliance, too

Need to prove your team understood a policy or completed required training?

Knowledge Checks give you the receipts. Simple tasks, real evidence, clean audit trails.

TL;DR?

Knowledge Checks =
✅ Less “did they do it?”
✅ More “can they actually do it?”

And that’s what modern L&D is all about.
