GoSkills Secures Gold Excellence Awards From the Brandon Hall Group

GoSkills, the modern Learning Management System (LMS) designed for busy teams, is proud to announce it has won two Gold Awards in the prestigious 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Technology Awards. These awards recognize GoSkills for its groundbreaking technology that makes corporate learning fast to implement, incredibly easy to use, and highly engaging for organizations of all sizes, especially small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).

The two Gold Award wins are in the categories of:

• Best Advance in Learning Management Technology

• Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

The fastest way to launch AI-powered team training

The Brandon Hall Group's evaluation criteria focus on five key areas, including value proposition, innovation, and measurable results. Here is how GoSkills earned top recognition for making an enterprise-grade LMS accessible and effective for every organization.

1. Breakthrough innovation: AI-powered course creation in minutes

GoSkills is recognized as an innovator for pioneering the integration of generative AI within an LMS. Its AI-powered authoring assistant, Genie, allows anyone — even non-instructional design experts — to create a professional, structured course in minutes rather than months.

• Fast content creation: Genie is designed to help subject matter experts (SMEs) and managers brainstorm outlines, generate quizzes, and convert existing documents into courses directly within the platform.

• Streamlined compliance training: For clients like the City of Brownsville, the AI assistant reduced the time spent generating high-quality quiz questions from over an hour to just 10-15 minutes. Read their success story here.

• The GoSkills advantage: By democratizing content creation, GoSkills eliminates the need for separate (and expensive) course-creation tools.

2. Easiest to use, fastest to implement LMS

For small and medium-sized businesses and busy organizations, the complexity, high cost, and long implementation times of traditional LMS platforms are significant barriers. GoSkills directly solves this with a model built for speed and accessibility:

• Frictionless adoption: GoSkills offers a product-led growth model, featuring a freemium plan, monthly billing, a five-user minimum, and no setup fees.

• Rapid launch: Most clients fully implement the platform in just 15–30 minutes, allowing training to launch the same day they sign up.

• Industry validation: GoSkills consistently ranks on G2 for Easiest to Use, Easiest Admin, and Easiest Setup, demonstrating its commitment to simplicity for busy administrators.

3. Measurable results: Driving engagement and promotions

GoSkills' unique approach to learning—combining bite-sized lessons, gamification, and personalization—translates directly into high engagement and tangible business outcomes for clients.

• High course completion rates: The City of Brownsville achieved a 99% completion rate for compliance training by using GoSkills LMS reporting to track training and learner progress.

• Workforce development: Hampton Roads Transit used GoSkills for its Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program, resulting in 24 out of 92 participants being promoted within one year. The details are covered here.

• Empowering employees: The national law firm AWKO saw course completion rates consistently over 87% and empowered employees to create their own internal training on firm-specific processes.

A look to the future of learning

Winning these two Gold Awards underscores GoSkills' mission to make enterprise-grade learning technology accessible, effective, and fast to deploy for organizations of all sizes.

“The Excellence in Technology Awards celebrate the most forward-thinking innovations shaping the future of learning, talent, and human capital management. This year’s winners exemplify how technology can unlock new possibilities — improving performance, enabling smarter decision-making, and transforming how organizations support and develop their people,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and leader of the Excellence Awards program.
