Anyone have softskills courses available for purchase?
Jul 11, 2014
Hi all! I am searching for organizational/personal development courses for purchase that I can upload to our LMS. My focus and attention is on building technical courses for our product, but we have a real need for soft skills training.
The types of course I'm searching for are in the areas of:
- Peer coaching/mentoring
- Team building
- Project management
- Communication/Conflict Management
We don't have a budget for this training, but a definite need, so I'm going to have to sell the need to management. I've looked at courses by Vado and SkillSoft so far.
Any suggested resources or info about your own courses would be greatly appreciated!

My team is working on a suite of courses just like this, but nothing is ready just yet. What do your timelines look like? I can recommend a few vendors if you need something ASAP.
Thanks Kristian! Our need is pretty urgent - we're starting to experience turnover among new hires. So I'd like to get some of this type training asap. But I'd also love to know more about what your team is working on!
Following up on my call out for organizational/personal development courses for purchase. I'm amazed at the amount of slideshow "training" that is out there!
Does anyone know of business skills e-learning for purchase that actually uses a true interaction philosophy that requires critical thinking? Even better if Storyline and all it's fantastic interactive features were used to develop
Hi Sherrie,
I don't have an answer for you but I'm interested in what you find. Be sure to come back and fill us in if you have any luck!
Hi Sherrie,
The company I used to work for used BizLibrary - which had lots of soft skills training courses. I'm not sure if you can purchase individually or need an account, but it's worth checking into.
All the best,
Kathi
Hi Sherrie,
I am currently working on soft skills courses. I have been doing soft skills for quite a while now. However, mine has been face-to-face classes only. That business was declining, so, I am currently converting my courses to e-learning modules (using articulate).
I currently have only one course (about 90% complete), which was created more for showing my existing customers and prospective clients. In fact, I am doing a demo to somebody today.
I can send you a link to this if you are interested (I may need to send you a 1-pager to explain the features too). If you like it and it is the kind of stuff you are looking for, then, we can work on something for you. Do let me know. Thanks.
Warm regards,
Sam Cholayil
I too have slept through....errrrr LEARNED with Skillsoft and wondered why they were so.....boring. Good luck on the search! Do update us if you find something interesting.
Hi
We have developed courses that provide a learning path from basic digital literacy skills all the way to professional office practitioner level.
Our courses are currently being delivered in 8 countries in some of these countries we have gained government funding to deliver them. We are always looking for more partners to deliver our courses
Our course have been developed with accessibility features for dyslexia, cognitive and visual impairment, colour blindness and for those with literacy issues. (Which are features i would love Articulate to add in the future)
Our website is www.i-cando.ie if your interested
This is one of our old demos
Sorry this is not developed in articulate but is an example of the accessibility features I mentioned before
Hello Sherrie,
Let me introduce you the course of Negotiation and conflict resolution of Gamelearn.

Our game-based learning products are focused on soft skills training, they are online and can be integrated in your LMS.
The big advantage of our courses is that students can learn by doing, the simulator enables students/players to create their own responses to the game so they can learn from their decisions and mistakes.
Take a look at the info and if you have any other questions I will be happy to answer you.
