A learning management system on its own stores, manages and delivers training content. An integrated HR and LMS goes further: your learning data and your HR data share the same employee record. So a role change, a leaver, or a completed course updates both systems without manual entry.
Integrated HR and LMS software built on one source of truth
One connected suite. Built to make work, work
A course completion that never reaches the HR file. A skills gap the L&D team can see but HR can't. A new starter's induction plan that lives in a different system to their contract.
Ciphr connects HR and LMS. Learning activity stays visible to HR, employee data flows between the systems, and you can report on training compliance without pulling from two disconnected sources.
MORE insights, greater efficiency
Why HR and learning software works better together
Most HR and learning system pairings are two separate logins that happen to sit near each other. Update a job role in HR and the learning system doesn't know. A manager approves a training request and HR has no record of it.
With Ciphr, HR and learning are in the same system. Change someone's role and their learning pathway updates with it. Complete a mandatory course and the compliance record in HR reflects it straight away. No export, no reconciliation, no second system to double-check.
As Rachel Delgado, senior HR business partner at Lifetime Training, puts it: "With Ciphr HR, we can sample the quality of conversations. We can also understand what additional training resources we might need to add into the LMS."
Integrated HR and LMS for UK compliance
Built for UK HR and L&D teams
Ciphr is a UK company, built around UK employment law and UK compliance obligations from the ground up. Your people data, including learning and training records, is handled under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act, not adapted from a platform designed for another market's rules.
That matters most when a regulator, auditor, or board member asks a specific question: who has completed mandatory training, when, and can you prove it. With HR and learning system data held together, that answer takes minutes, not a week spent chasing two departments.
Ciphr is ISO 27001 certified at an organisational level, and works with organisations including Refuge, PrepWorld, and NEBOSH.
Same login. Same screens. No separate system for learning
L&D teams don't usually struggle to build good training. They struggle to get people to finish it. A course that sits behind its own login, on its own site, competes with every other job on someone's list, and it often loses.
Ciphr LMS lives inside the same interface as the rest of Ciphr HR. This is HR and learning software built as one system, not stitched together as two: no separate portal, no second password, no different home screen to remember. The same login that lets someone check a payslip or book a day off also opens their training.
If an employee can book a day off, they can complete their mandatory training. Same place.
Same habit. One less reason to put it off.
Learning that shows its results, not just its uptake
An LMS that only tells you who logged in doesn't tell you much about its impact. Ciphr's integrated HR and learning software links course completion to the same performance and skills data HR already holds, so L&D can point to outcomes, not just activity.
Ready-to-use analytics dashboards cover absence, holiday, organisation structure, and diversity, equity and inclusion data, with filters you set yourself, so HR and L&D teams can find the metric that matters to them without waiting for a report to be produced.

Implementation is part of the product, not an afterthought
You aren't handed a login and left to work it out. Ciphr's implementation is a structured, supported process: your HR and learning data migrated together, your workflows configured to match how your organisation works, and a named team who stay with you through go-live.
A five-step implementation process built to keep momentum
- Initiate: a kick-off meeting, your base system deployed, and a finalised project plan
- Discover: discovery sessions that document your specific HR and learning requirements
- Realise: the build phase: your data imported, your system configured, tutorials provided through the Ciphr Academy
- Validate: user acceptance testing scripts so you can test the system and check your data before go-live
- Deploy: support through go-live, then a handover to the customer experience team
A phased rollout, central HR first and learning added as a defined next step, protects business as usual while people get used to the new system.
As one Lifetime Training project lead described it: "Our consultant also helped us with data collection and migration, which was quite an overwhelming task. He was really patient with us and kept making sure we understood what needed to happen and how the system could work."
The connected suite is what makes the AI useful
An AI tool bolted onto two disconnected systems can only guess at half the picture. Ciphr's AI works because it draws on one connected HR and learning data set, not a chatbot layered over old systems.
Some of that is live today:
- An AI assistant
- AI form summarisation
- AI coaching, through MyTeamBuilder
Other capability, including more advanced agentic features, sits on the roadmap. We'll say plainly when something is coming rather than describe it as already shipped.
This is HR amplified
For HR directors who need training records that hold up to scrutiny, and CFOs who need headcount and cost data that doesn't need a second check against another system, Ciphr's integrated HR and learning software gives you more control over complexity, not more of it.
FAQ: integrated HR and learning software
Yes. Ciphr's LMS is available as a standalone product and can integrate with HR systems outside Ciphr. However, the greatest benefits – one employee record and no duplicated data – come when it's paired with Ciphr HR.
SCORM-based programmes, video, audio, presentations, quizzes and assessments. You can use your own content, Ciphr's off-the-shelf eLearning, or work with Ciphr's team on bespoke material.
Mandatory and voluntary training completions sit alongside the rest of an employee's HR record, so a check on who has and hasn't completed required training is a single lookup, not a cross-reference between two systems.
Organisations across the public, private and non-profit sectors, including Refuge, PrepWorld, Lifetime Training, and NEBOSH.
A single source of truth for people and learning data, less admin duplication, clearer reporting on skills gaps and training uptake, and a system that scales as your organisation grows.

Complete a course in Ciphr eLearning and it lands straight in the HR record. No double entry. No spreadsheets. No sign-off emails to chase. One HR and learning system, not two, so training counts towards reviews and compliance without extra admin.
