Frequently asked questions

Essential information about programs, delivery and compliance

What types of qualifications does SkillRForge offer?

SkillRForge offers modular qualification pathways and micro-credentials focused on professional competencies. Programs range from short, skill-specific micro-credentials to comprehensive tracks that culminate in formal assessments aligned with occupational standards relevant to Swiss regulatory contexts.

Who is the platform designed for?

The platform serves individual professionals seeking recognized upskilling, employers aiming to standardise workforce competencies, and professional bodies that require structured continuing professional development (CPD). Course formats address needs across small teams, large enterprises and regulated occupations.

Are the assessments recognised by industry or regulators?

Assessments are designed to map to recognised competency frameworks and can be submitted for review by relevant industry bodies. Where formal external accreditation is required, we work with clients to align assessments and evidence to the appropriate regulatory criteria.

How long do programs typically take?

Duration depends on the pathway and mode of delivery. Micro-credentials can be completed in days or weeks, while comprehensive qualification tracks typically require several months of part-time study. Each program page includes an estimated time commitment and recommended pacing.

What pricing models are available?

We offer individual course fees, subscription access for continuous professional development, and enterprise licensing for organisational deployments. Pricing reflects the scope of content, assessment complexity and any bespoke curriculum development requested by the client.

Can SkillRForge deliver on-site or blended training?

Yes. Delivery modes include fully online, blended (online plus instructor-led workshops) and on-site sessions for practical skill application. We recommend a blended approach for competencies that require hands-on practice or supervised assessment.

How is learner progress tracked?

Learner progress is tracked through the platform's learning analytics dashboard, which records module completion, assessment results and evidence submissions. Organisations receive aggregated reports to support workforce planning and CPD documentation.

What support is available for learners?

Support includes course facilitators, technical helpdesk, and scheduled mentoring sessions for applied projects. Administrative support is available for enrolment, assessment scheduling and certification queries.

How does SkillRForge protect personal data?

Personal data is processed according to applicable Swiss data protection standards and our Privacy Policy. Data minimisation, encrypted storage and role-based access controls are applied to protect learner and organisational information.

Which payment methods are accepted?

We accept bank transfer for organisational invoices and common card payments for individual enrolments. Payment options are displayed during checkout and invoices include the necessary details for accounting compliance.

Can employers sponsor employee qualifications?

Yes. Employers can sponsor individual employees, purchase bulk licences or commission tailored qualification tracks. Sponsored learners are managed through employer accounts to simplify enrolment and progress oversight.

How can I verify a certificate issued by SkillRForge?

Each issued certificate contains a verifiable identifier and a link to an online verification record. Employers or regulatory bodies may request detailed assessment records subject to data protection considerations.
