  • A Microlearning Course is a self-paced digital course aimed at helping learners upskill and develop knowledge in a specific topic.

    The course is delivered in bite-sized sessions (no more than 10-15 mins) on a mobile app and is highly interactive, leading learners to think, reflect, practice and share their learnings in a global peer learning community. This course format is scientifically proven to increase knowledge retention rates in adult learners.

    Gnowbe’s MLCs are designed for on-the-go learning on mobile devices, both online and offline. You can also access the course contents on computers on our web-based platform.
