Questions, answered
Useful things to know.
Is a skill domain the same as a list of courses?
No. A skill domain is the connected model behind development. It brings capabilities, assessment, learning paths, practice and evidence together.
Can Skills Shift reflect our competency framework?
Yes. An organisation-owned skill domain can use your capability language, proficiency expectations, roles and real situations.
Can we start with existing Skills Shift content?
Yes. You can begin with the built-in Soft Skills or Sales domain, then add or adapt content as the programme develops.
