The customer service and support that comes with system is excellent, the team at Think Eleven are friendly and approachable.

SkillStation (Think Eleven)

I loved working with ThinkEleven to create a product that has ended up being rolled out throughout the company. I am looking forward to the next phase as we progress the system throughout the company

Pros:

The best thing about SkillStation was the team at Think Eleven we got to work with. They are so supportive, and nothing has ever been too onerous. They have worked with us to show the functionality and make a great system. SkillStation is also an excellent software and has great functionality. The constant improvements and the fact you listen to your customers is fantastic. Excellent selling features for when i am rolling out the product and making the wider team feel engaged.

Cons:

There were minor tweaks we required, and there are minor elements within the event calendar that could be improved. However, our suggestions have been listened to and already incorporated. So the con is minimal.

Reasons for switching to SkillStation

The system was layered and onerous on an employee

Too complicated for what we need it for

SkillStation is far too much of a sophisticated system for what we initially needed it for. The potentials look amazing, but we only use a fraction of its capabilities. Recently, trying to utilise another element of system we found the set-up time-consuming, overly complicated and not really worth the effort. The upload of something reasonably simple as a new skill is cumbersome and laborious and made up of so many elements that have to be completed in a certain order that it is easy to get distracted and forget. During the initial set-up I was expecting more advice as we had never used a system like this, but we knew what information we would like it to hold. The process was continually bounced back to us to make decisions about a programme we knew nothing about. I wouldn't recommend SkillStation to anyone who predominantly just wants to track expiries, there are far simpler and cheaper alternatives out there.

Pros:

I like the amount of information that it holds, the monthly expiry reports it sends and the fact that it defaults to 3 months before expiry, which should give ample time to arrange refresher training.

Cons:

SO CLUNKY!! It is so counter-intuitive and everything is embedded in something else that in order to find one cert, you need to perform far too many clicks. My guys don't like using it, it doesn't translate well to mobile as far too small. Would work much better as an app.

Vendor Response

Hi Corinne, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I was surprised to read your review, as we hadn’t received any previous feedback indicating these issues. SkillStation is designed to be both a powerful and user-friendly, with many of our clients finding it invaluable for tracking and managing skills. We're always looking to improve, so I’d love to discuss your experience further to ensure it meets your needs moving forward. Could we arrange a quick call to talk about how we can better support you? Best regards, Darren

Positive. I have recently completed a lot of training with the skillstation staff and am mostly happy with what I know now. I am still learning the system and working out what does what.

Pros:

The fact that I can set managers up as admin to manage their own areas. This personally saves the department a lot of time chasing training that has expired.

Cons:

The layout and terminology. I'm used to it somewhat now but some of the layout choices are not user friendly and I think some of the areas could do with being renamed.

Pros:

Our SkillStation competency management system gives us the capacity to review and report on competency levels across our company and gives a wide view to our Technical Directors which they did not have before ensuring conformity across our business. The Performance Review process which is more adaptable to our requirements has been well-received by our HR team. SkillStation is very user-friendly, was implemented quickly with excellent support from Think11 who engaged in all aspects and made suggestions which encouraged us to review our requests - and they were always right! Think11 are also very open to requests for improvements and update the system regularly.

Cons:

We have found very little we don't like about SkillStation, the user guides were sparse but gave us a good building block for our own once the system was implemented.

Putting Skills and Learning at the forefront of our business

Overall SkillStation has been a fantastic addition to our business. From individual contributors to people managers, it has truly enhanced everyone's daily working by making information more accessible and applicable. Although issues with the system are limited, any time that help has been needed, a friendly and knowledgeable person is available almost instantly.

Pros:

The best thing about SkillStation is that it provides a great place to store detailed training records that can be accessed with the click of a button. Not only does this make for a simple way to find who possess critical skills, but it is also excellent when providing information at critical external Audits for example. The ability to run e-Learning modules through the platform is also a real time saver

Cons:

Having to using a sperate SCORM account to facilitate/enable e-learning. It would be good to have some credits applied as part of an annual charge, rather than having to Top Up regularly via the SCORM account.

Because we have over 100 different roles, we decided to look at each and split into the following categories: Education Induction HSSE eLearning HSSE Technical MP's SOP's This took a lot of work but very beneficial.
