Many organizations that work in remote areas, and especially the ones that focus on training and education, are interested in blended-learning & e-learning solutions. While there are some interesting developments in the field of offline e-learning, the focus is mainly on primary, secondary and tertiary education materials, and the systems are not very flexible when it comes to content sharing and collaboration.

SkillEd provides organizations with an affordable, versatile and flexible on and offline platform to boost the training of the people, with whom they work remotely. SkillEd develops tailor-made solutions for organizations, which enable them to improve their (training) impact by using blended-learning solutions. SkillEd blended/mobile learning creates ways for securing the quality, while scaling up trainings, more flexibility for students in where and when to study, reaching out to larger groups, and thus, ultimately, reducing the costs of training per student.
