In a world where everyoneโ€™s โ€œbusy learning,โ€ how do you actually know if your people get it?

Thatโ€™s where Knowledge Checks come inโ€ฆThe smarter way to validate real learning. (not just activity!)

Itโ€™s a simple, flexible, no-nonsense feature that helps you move beyond content completion and start measuring actual capability. Because letโ€™s be honest – when youโ€™re in a small-but-mighty L&D team, you donโ€™t have time to waste on guesswork.

Hereโ€™s how it works:

๐Ÿ›  Pick a skill
๐ŸŽฏ Set a task
๐Ÿ‘€ Review the learnerโ€™s submission
๐Ÿ’ฌ Drop in your feedback

Done.

Whether youโ€™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:

โœ… Know they actually got it

Anyone can mark a course complete. But that doesnโ€™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.

๐Ÿ”„ Feedback that fuels growth

Learning shouldnโ€™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.

โš™๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Show progress that actually matters

Youโ€™re not just building knowledge, youโ€™re building capability.

Knowledge Checks give you visibility into how your people are really developing. Thatโ€™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 =
โœ… Less โ€œdid they do it?โ€
โœ… More โ€œcan they actually do it?โ€

And thatโ€™s what modern L&D is all about.
