We will not report on your people.

What you are told, and what you are not

Sponsoring a place buys somebody access. It does not buy visibility into how they used it.

• You are told

  That a place was bought, which programme it was for, and that the account it was issued to has used it. Enough to know the budget was not wasted and to reconcile an invoice.

• You are not told

  Their answers, their drafts, their notes, their uploaded evidence, their gate claims, their scores, or how they compare to a colleague. No dashboard, no export, no report. There is no such view in the product to switch on.

If your learner chooses to show you their certificate or the deliverables they produced, that is theirs to do and it is usually the more useful conversation anyway. The difference is that it is their disclosure rather than our reporting.

Why the dashboard you are used to makes the training worse

This is not a privacy position we adopted despite the product. It is what makes the product work.

A completion dashboard measures what people do when they know they are being measured. Point one at a course and you get the behaviour it rewards: modules opened and closed, videos left playing, quizzes retaken until green. The numbers go up and nothing is learned. Most organisations already know this about their own LMS reports and buy them anyway, because the alternative was no visibility at all.

This format depends on people being honest with themselves about claims they could observably fail. Somebody who knows their manager is watching the same claim will not be honest about it — they will pass it. The moment performance becomes reportable, the gates stop being a private reckoning and become another thing to look good at, and the one mechanism that makes this different from a video course is gone.

So the absence of the dashboard is what you are buying. The evidence you actually want is the work: real deliverables, produced against your own organisation, that your person can show you and talk you through.

What a sponsored place is

Per programme, per person, once. The same access an individual buys.

• Bought per programme

  Not a seat licence and not a subscription. You buy the programme the person is going to do, and it does not expire while they are being slow.

• The work is theirs

  Notes, drafts and evidence belong to the learner and stay with their account if they leave you. What they produce for your organisation is yours in the ordinary way — it was made on your subject, on your time.

• Exercises run on your organisation

  Not case studies. The output is work about your actual problems, which is the practical argument for sponsoring a place rather than reimbursing a course.

• Read Level 0 first

  Free, no account, the real level. Put whoever would do the programme through it before you spend anything, and let them tell you whether it is serious.
