Common FAQs

How can I monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance in my organisation?

Implementing a gifts and hospitality register enables you to monitor and manage anti-bribery compliance effectively. Employees can log gifts, entertainment, and hospitality, providing a transparent overview of potential risks.

How can I effectively distribute my anti-bribery policy to employees?

Our Policy Hub allows you to upload and distribute your anti-bribery policy seamlessly to all employees. This centralised platform simplifies policy distribution and includes an attestation feature, ensuring employees acknowledge and commit to complying with the policy.

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools such as declarations, surveys and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Is our training content still compliant with the latest legislation?

What is Aida and how does it ensure reliable answers?

 Aida is an AI tutor embedded in courses that allows learners to ask questions at any point during learning. It draws exclusively on content that has been vetted and curated by your organisation, including course materials, internal policies, approved web resources, and regulator sites. This curated approach ensures answers reflect accurate, organisation‑specific guidance. 

Can administrators see what questions are asked and how Aida responds?

Yes. Reporting includes both the questions asked and Aida’s responses. For meaningful insight, questions are also categorised by topic (e.g., records management, gifts and hospitality) to reveal trends. All reporting is anonymised by default to encourage open, non‑threatening inquiry. To protect assessment integrity, Aida is disabled during assessments and is only available during the learning components of a course.
