From skill gap to course brief.
Automatically.
A complete professional development infrastructure - skills frameworks, gap analysis, CPD tracking, evidence management and downloadable transcripts - built into the same platform where you build and deliver courses. No separate specialist system required.
Build a skills framework in minutes. Not months.
Traditional competency frameworks take months to design - workshops, consultants, spreadsheets, sign-off cycles. CourseAgent's AI generates a structured framework from a plain-language description of your organisation and roles.
Describe your organisation, your roles and the skills that matter. AI generates a complete, deployable competency framework - with skill definitions, proficiency levels and role mappings - ready to refine and publish.
Generate a complete competency framework from a plain-language description. No L&D expertise required to start.
★ Unique to CourseAgentGenerate skills frameworks and competency descriptions in any of CourseAgent's 19 supported languages - so multilingual organisations have consistent role profiles across every region.
Build and manage a library of skills - technical, behavioural, role-specific - with definitions and proficiency level descriptors.
Map skills to specific roles - defining required proficiency levels for each position in your organisation.
Learners see their own skill profile, current levels and progress towards role requirements. Ownership of development, not just completion.
Identify the gap between a specific learner's current skill levels and their role requirements - automatically, at any time.
View gap analysis across a team, department or the whole organisation - identify systemic capability shortfalls, not just individual ones.
When a gap is identified, AI automatically generates a course brief to close it - ready to build in CourseAgent immediately. Gap identified to course brief in one step.
★ Unique to CourseAgentDashboard view of the most critical gaps across the organisation - ranked by severity and number of people affected.
★ Gap-to-course brief unique to CourseAgent
Identify the gap. Generate the solution.
Most skills gap analysis tools stop at identifying gaps. CourseAgent goes one step further: when a gap is identified, AI generates a course brief to close it.
The brief is built around the specific skill, the required proficiency level and the learner's current state - so it addresses exactly what's needed rather than recommending a generic course.
A complete CPD system. Built in.
Most LMS platforms track course completions. CourseAgent tracks professional development - CPD targets, pace, evidence, external activities and period management - in a system that aligns with professional body requirements.
No separate CPD tracking tool. No data migration. No manual reconciliation. The same platform that delivers courses also manages the learner's complete professional development record.
Set annual CPD targets by hours or credits. Track actual vs planned pace - with visual indicators when learners are behind target.
When a learner completes a platform course, it is automatically recorded as a CPD entry with the correct hours - no manual input required from the learner or the administrator. No other platform does this.
★ Unique to CourseAgentThe admin dashboard flags learners who are behind their CPD target pace before deadlines are missed - enabling proactive support rather than end-of-period scrambles.
★ Unique to CourseAgentLearners log external CPD - conferences, webinars, coaching, reading - alongside their platform-based learning. Complete record, not just platform completions.
★ Unique to CourseAgentAttach supporting evidence to any CPD entry - certificates, screenshots, notes - for compliance and professional body submissions.
★ Unique to CourseAgentConfigure CPD periods to align with professional body requirements - annual, rolling 12-month, or custom periods with automatic rollover.
Learners generate a professional PDF transcript - shareable with employers, professional bodies or regulators on demand.
★ Unique to CourseAgentConfigure CPD tracking to align with specific professional body requirements - CIPD, SRA, ICAEW, NMC, GMC and others.
★ Unique to CourseAgentWho skills & CPD is built for.
