Why consider SkillProof as an alternative to Breathe?

SkillProof is designed around proving workforce training and compliance, with dedicated workflows for evidence, registrations, CPD and audit preparation.

Can I create and deliver learning in SkillProof?

SkillProof includes a governed LMS for creating, assigning, completing and reviewing internal learning alongside workforce compliance records. Organisations can also retain completions, evidence and renewal dates from external training providers and learning systems. It is not an accredited training provider, an included course marketplace or a universal content-led LMS.

Which SkillProof plan includes the wider compliance workflows?

Starter includes native courses, training records, the Training Matrix and evidence storage. Growth adds policies, Document Management, CPD, professional registrations, reviews, development actions and Audit Packs. Professional adds further governance and controls.
