The University of Colorado will upgrade its Skillsoft training platform to Skillsoft Percipio on Sept. 12.

The new go-live will be three weeks later than the originally announced Aug. 22 go-live date, in order to accommodate a product change to Percipio’s Compliance Library and to minimize related disruptions for campus administrators and users.  

CU uses Skillsoft to manage its mandatory and custom training courses. The platform allows users to access a library of standardized courses, ebooks, audiobooks and professional certification courses.

What the new platform offers

The Percipio upgrade will feature a significant update in the platform’s visual interface, navigation, and overall usability. It will still host CU’s custom-built courses, but it will include a greatly expanded, updated library of standardized courses.

Users will be able to access their accounts and training resources via a mobile app, allowing employees to learn on the go.

Percipio will allow users to customize their course recommendations based on their skill interests, assess their current knowledge to identify any skill gaps, and recommend relevant courses to their professional development.

The new platform will have all the same onboarding and mandatory training courses as before. These will be easier to find in Percipio, which features a user landing page section dedicated to cataloging outstanding required trainings.

Key dates for the Percipio upgrade

• All courses and trainings in the current Skillsoft platform must be completed by 5 p.m. Sept. 6 to ensure training completion records migrate to the new system.
• The platform will be inaccessible starting at 5 p.m. Sept. 6, while the upgrade is underway.
• Percipio will go live on Sept. 12.

Please note: Current deep links to Skillsoft content will change once Percipio goes live.
