AI in training: what really changes for a trainer
AI saves you time on preparation, not on the relationship. What it does well, where it falls short, and the role that stays yours.

An open-source LMS gives you control of the code, a SaaS LMS removes the technical burden. What each family brings, and what it leaves with you.
Read the articleFrequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
How does Kognisia differ from an open source LMS or another LMS?
Every family of solutions has its strengths. Kognisia is a SaaS LMS designed for training providers, schools and companies that want to deliver training without managing the technology. The comparison details the families of solutions and also says when Kognisia is not the right choice.
Is white label mandatory?
No, it is an option. Without it, the platform appears in Kognisia colours. With it, it takes on your name, your logo and your colours.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Kognisia is an online service (SaaS): the platform is hosted and maintained, and you access it from a browser.
How does the licence work?
You take out an annual licence based on your number of active learners. The training catalogue and white label are available as options. The details are set out on the Pricing page.
Where is learner data hosted?

Is Kognisia Qualiopi-compatible?
Yes. Kognisia is designed to help training organisations meet the indicators of the national quality framework, by making learner tracking visible and traceable. Qualiopi certification is awarded to the training organisation, not to the software: it remains that of your organisation. Details are on the Qualiopi page.
