Licence types

What’s the difference between individual licences and corporate licences?

Individual e-learning licences are best suited to single users that require easy and immediate implementation of staff awareness solutions.

You can purchase up to two individual e-learning licences at a time, and you can assign licences to your staff via your Account area.
