Training teams is the number one priority for businesses around the world. With the right knowledge and skills behind them, your teams will become more productive, efficient, and effective in the work that they do.
Finding the right employee training software is an important step in integrating learning into your company. The right tool can help you onboard new employees into your company through branded training, or see your team members upskill themselves in critical areas. However, finding the right tool can be a detailed and complex process, especially with so many options to choose from.

Company Background
History of Cloud Assess
Cloud Assess was launched in Australia in 2012 to meet the needs of registered training organisations (RTOs) and other vocational education and training (VET) providers. Over the years, it has grown to deliver versatile learning solutions across Australia, the UK, and many other countries worldwide. With robust training, assessment, and compliance tools, Cloud Assess is dedicated to helping workplaces and training providers integrate learning into everyday activities.
History of SC Training
The first prototype of EdApp, as the company was formerly known, was created in 2016. The aim was to create a platform where workers could access meaningful training that was about more than just ticking boxes. Since then, the company has rebranded as SC Training and has opened offices in Australia, the USA, the Philippines and the UK.
Product Offerings & Use Cases
Cloud Assess
Cloud Assess empowers businesses with a purpose-built training solution for frontline and deskless workers. By automating key processes and integrating learning into daily operations, it ensures training is seamless, accessible, and ongoing. The platform is designed to help businesses close skill gaps, maintain compliance, and improve workforce capability—without unnecessary admin burdens.
With real-time progress tracking, automated notifications, scheduling tools, and digital evidence gathering, businesses can streamline training and competency management. Employees can complete various types of assessments, safety checks, and training directly on the job, whether online or offline. Customisable learner profiles, course management, and flexible content delivery enable businesses to create targeted and engaging learning experiences.
“Probably the best one has been that it’s all in one spot. So for at least the trainer side of things, all of your assessments, feedback, scheduling, communication, just having one place to do it is really handy. Training plans or the outcomes as well. And then the interface I have found quite good to use. Being able to see what a student sees through their login, being able to share that. It’s been really handy working remotely, it’s really easy to share a screen and show people around.”
Cloud Assess is the ideal choice for:
- Workplaces with a high focus on compliance to automate audits, track certifications, and ensure regulatory readiness
- Businesses looking to reduce manual admin by automating enrolments, skill tracking, and reporting for a more efficient workflow
- Industries that require mobile-ready training to allow employees to train on any device, even in remote or offline settings
- Organisations needing real-time workforce insights to gain instant visibility into training progress, skill gaps, and compliance status
SC Training
Where SC Training excels is with product, sales and customer training. The focus is less on skill development, but on helping employees understand a company’s unique solutions. Of course, the platform does also accommodate other areas of learning including leadership and compliance training, but the focus is more on internal company training, rather than developing workplace skillsets.
This makes SC Training a good fit for:
- Global companies that want to offer localised training
- Businesses that want to accommodate customer training to reduce support demands
- Companies in fast-paced industries that benefit from microlearning modules.
