"It is incredibly versatile in the way that it can be configured. There is some ability to re-purpose fields and pages to be used in a way that suits the business. It was a good solution for a mid-size UK business, a lot of other providers were either used to smaller sub 100 companies or 1000+ companies."

As a cloud-based SaaS platform, Ciphr’s updates are managed with the aim of being non-disruptive to workflows, and typically occur in the background or during off-peak times.
We offer an obligation-free, personalised software demo. While we do offer free trials of our off-the-shelf eLearning courses, we do not offer free trials of our software. Ciphr is developed and implemented based on your specific requirements, and a free trial does not accurately reflect the breadth and depth of our product
