Frequently Asked Questions About 5Mins vs CPL Learning

Everything you need to know about switching from CPL Learning to 5Mins

What's the catch, why are we giving this away for free?
We're hoping by giving you free access to our compliance training content, you'll want to use the 5Mins platform for the rest of your training needs. If not, no worries - you can still access your choice of our compliance suite free of charge! Unlike CPL Learning's traditional licensing model, there's no commitment and no cost to get started.
What is CPL Learning and how does 5Mins compare as an alternative?
CPL Learning is a basic hospitality-focused LMS offering standard e-learning courses with core compliance content and analytics. 5Mins is a comprehensive learning platform with 20,000+ bite-sized lessons across 200+ skills in 20+ languages. Where CPL Learning provides basic LMS functionality with no mobile app, no microlearning, no AI, and no gamification, 5Mins delivers AI-powered microlearning with TikTok-style content, a native mobile app, full gamification with redeemable rewards, comprehensive automation, and advanced integrations including Slack and Microsoft Teams — making it 3.6x more feature-rich.
Does 5Mins cover the same hospitality compliance topics as CPL Learning?
Yes. 5Mins covers all the core hospitality compliance topics available on CPL Learning, including food safety, HACCP, fire safety, manual handling, health and safety, COSHH, responsible sale of alcohol, food allergies, and many more. 5Mins also covers broader compliance areas like GDPR, cybersecurity, anti-bribery, and equality and diversity, plus thousands of additional business skills courses covering leadership, sales, onboarding, and professional development — all in bite-sized, engaging formats.
Can team managers create training content on both platforms?
No. CPL Learning does not support team manager or subject matter expert-led course creation. 5Mins enables team managers and SMEs to create and manage their own training content, plus our AI content transformer can convert existing docs, decks, and SOPs into bite-sized courses automatically — empowering distributed content creation across your organisation.
Is the compliance training from 5Mins accredited?
Yes. Our compliance courses are CPD and RoSPA accredited.
Does CPL Learning offer a mobile app for frontline staff?
No. CPL Learning does not offer a mobile app, which is a significant limitation for hospitality teams who are rarely desk-based. 5Mins provides a full native mobile app for iOS and Android with TikTok-style content feeds and bite-sized courses designed for learning on the go — perfect for front-of-house, kitchen, and housekeeping staff who need flexible access to training.
What automation and AI features does 5Mins offer that CPL Learning doesn't?
5Mins offers comprehensive automation including automated new employee training, role and region-based enrolment, smart re-enrolment rules, and multi-channel reminders. It also provides AI-powered features like automatic skills-gap analysis, role-based learning pathways, and AI-generated quizzes. CPL Learning does not offer any automation or AI capabilities, requiring manual setup and tracking for all training assignments.
How do I switch from CPL Learning to 5Mins?
Switching is straightforward. 5Mins provides dedicated customer success support with white-glove migration assistance, including content mapping, historical data import, and learning pathway creation. Our team optimises your existing content for microlearning and enhanced engagement formats. We typically achieve full deployment in 2-4 weeks with monthly performance reviews and optimisation recommendations included.
