Cahoot Learning Portal vs Skill.re

Cahoot Learning Portal is a web platform that combines learning content, cohort programs and education communities. Organisations can provide course libraries, self-paced courses, cohort journeys and live events, with community spaces and shared tools for peer connection. Automated communications, learner nudges, tracking and evaluation are intended to reduce administration. Reports cover program data, completion rates, course enrolments, surveys and attendance. Customers can update programs themselves or work with Cahoot’s team to design and deliver programs. The portal supports co-branding or full white-labelling, and Cahoot says it can serve dozens or thousands of learners locally or globally in multiple languages. Hosting, maintenance, guided onboarding and support are included. Cahoot says it integrates with an organisation’s LMS, holds ISO 27001 certification and hosts data onshore in Australia. The portal is described as WCAG-compliant. Pricing is on request. Cahoot Learning says its story began in 2004 and is headquartered in Essendon, Victoria, Australia.

Skill.re offers work-focused courses through live cohorts, where learners join squads to encourage one another and complete courses together. Its catalog lists 246 course levels and 4,961 lessons across programs grouped by job sector. Squad members can see cohort activity, cheer others, share lessons, and maintain streaks. The free plan includes all courses and levels, live cohorts and squads, and certificates where offered, without usage limits or credits. Certificates carry a serial and public verification page; for certificates at level L3 and above, a person reviews submitted work before issuance. Individuals sign in through a verified email link, while organizations can use single sign-on, which Skill.re says is free and arranged by contacting the company. Organization accounts add private cohorts, reporting, CSV export, verified learning hours, and an audit log. Organizations can also embed the catalog on their sites. Skill.re says traffic uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and enforced HTTP Strict Transport Security. It does not have SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, a completed third-party penetration test, or a contractual uptime SLA. Self-service data export and deletion are not yet available.
