Microlearning courses are built to be completed in an average of 20 minutes, rather than a full session.
Microlearning courses that fit around real work
Most training gets skipped because there’s simply no time for it, not because the content is wrong. A 40-minute course loses to a packed diary every time. Ciphr's microlearning courses are short enough to fit into the gaps in a working day.
Here is a sample of our most popular microlearning courses. Download our eLearning catalogue for the full list.
Why microlearning matters
Good intentions rarely survive a packed calendar. A full course gets pushed to "next week" and next week never comes. Microlearning courses remove that excuse: a module a person can finish in the time it takes to make a coffee, fitted around meetings rather than instead of them.
What's in the microlearning library
Each course covers one idea, one skill, or one policy point, built to a clear outcome rather than padded to fill a slot. New starters can work through onboarding basics between calls in their first week. Managers can complete (or retake) a module on a difficult conversation before they walk into one.

How microlearning works inside Ciphr eLearning
Microlearning courses sit in the same library as the rest of your Ciphr eLearning content. Learners can bookmark their progress and return at any point. Completion, scores and progress are logged automatically, so an L&D team can see who has done what, without a spreadsheet to chase.
Why choose Ciphr eLearning?
Ciphr eLearning is built on two decades of specialist training content. Every course is written to change practice, not just tick a compliance box. With a range of CPD-certified courses available, your people can gain recognised learning that contributes to their ongoing professional development.
Built to be used by everyone
Accessible training should not be an afterthought. Every course, including microlearning content, comes with written transcripts for video and audio, and a WCAG version for learners who need it. Translation is available where you need to reach teams in more than one language.
Make microlearning your own
You aren't limited to the library as it stands. Our in-house design team can adapt a course to fit how your organisation works, with your branding, your photography, and your own policies and procedures. Sector-specific versions are available where the context calls for it.
Blend eLearning with facilitated training
Some topics land harder in the room. Our in-house consultancy can run facilitated sessions alongside a microlearning course, either before or after learners complete it. Many organisations find the blend of live training and eLearning is what makes the understanding stick.
