At Learning Technologies we caught up with EssentialSkillz CEO, Julian Roberts, to ask him what makes EssentialSkillz different in a crowded elearning market. 

Julian is laser focused on delivering a heavily compliance-focused product, relied upon by employers for managing 'essential' workforce skills, such as health & safety and business compliance courses. It includes a learning management system that has a comprehensive audit feature to help ensure that employees are compliant with their essential skills. The EssentialSkillz system has been built over a long period and is used worldwide, by all sizes of organisation, including businesses with over 100,000 employees.
