Questions about onboarding and role-based micro courses

Which courses should a new joiner start with?

Most teams start with workplace essentials: professionalism, equality and inclusion, harassment prevention, data privacy, cybersecurity, phishing and fire safety. Then they add role-based courses, such as food safety for kitchen teams, the Care Certificate for care staff or courses for new managers.

Can we add our own handbook and policies?

Yes. AI Course Creator in AI Studio turns your handbook, policies and process documents into micro courses, so new joiners get your own content alongside the ready-made courses.

Can new joiners be enrolled automatically?

Yes. 5Mins connects to 100+ HRIS platforms, so new joiners can be enrolled in the right courses automatically, with reminders by email, push, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

How long do the courses take?

Each microlesson takes about 5 minutes. A micro course is made up of several microlessons, so the total time varies by topic. The number of microlessons is shown on every course card.

Can I get a free sample lesson?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
