Questions about soft skills micro courses

What do the soft skills micro courses cover?

They cover the people skills everyone uses at work: communicating with confidence, listening well, giving and receiving feedback, handling conflict, running better meetings, managing your time and setting goals.

Who are these courses for?

Anyone who wants stronger people skills, from new joiners and frontline teams to experienced managers. Many courses work just as well for individual contributors as for team leads.

Can people practice these skills, not just learn them?

Yes. With AI Roleplays in AI Studio, people practice conversations such as giving feedback or handling a difficult customer. Every attempt is scored out of 100 against a rubric your admins can edit, with coaching feedback.

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.
