The customer service and support that comes with system is excellent, the team at Think Eleven are friendly and approachable. They have been great at responding to questions and providing guidance very quickly. > > **Cons**: No major cons. Only a few minor points where there has been a steeper learning curve with some of the more advanced features > > Excellent system with friendly support when required. ----- ### "SkillStation (Think Eleven)" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *18 April 2024* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about SkillStation was the team at Think Eleven we got to work with. They are so supportive, and nothing has ever been too onerous. They have worked with us to show the functionality and make a great system. SkillStation is also an excellent software and has great functionality. The constant improvements and the fact you listen to your customers is fantastic. Excellent selling features for when i am rolling out the product and making the wider team feel engaged. > > **Cons**: There were minor tweaks we required, and there are minor elements within the event calendar that could be improved. However, our suggestions have been listened to and already incorporated. So the con is minimal. > > I loved working with ThinkEleven to create a product that has ended up being rolled out throughout the company. I am looking forward to the next phase as we progress the system throughout the company ----- ### "Too complicated for what we need it for" — 3.0/5 > **Corinne** | *18 April 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the amount of information that it holds, the monthly expiry reports it sends and the fact that it defaults to 3 months before expiry, which should give ample time to arrange refresher training. > > **Cons**: SO CLUNKY\!\! It is so counter-intuitive and everything is embedded in something else that in order to find one cert, you need to perform far too many clicks. My guys don't like using it, it doesn't translate well to mobile as far too small. Would work much better as an app. > > SkillStation is far too much of a sophisticated system for what we initially needed it for. The potentials look amazing, but we only use a fraction of its capabilities. Recently, trying to utilise another element of system we found the set-up time-consuming, overly complicated and not really worth the effort. The upload of something reasonably simple as a new skill is cumbersome and laborious and made up of so many elements that have to be completed in a certain order that it is easy to get distracted and forget. During the initial set-up I was expecting more advice as we had never used a system like this, but we knew what information we would like it to hold. The process was continually bounced back to us to make decisions about a programme we knew nothing about. I wouldn't recommend SkillStation to anyone who predominantly just wants to track expiries, there are far simpler and cheaper alternatives out there. ----- ### "Skillstation" — 4.0/5 > **Jon** | *29 January 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact that I can set managers up as admin to manage their own areas. This personally saves the department a lot of time chasing training that has expired. > > **Cons**: The layout and terminology. I'm used to it somewhat now but some of the layout choices are not user friendly and I think some of the areas could do with being renamed. > > Positive. I have recently completed a lot of training with the skillstation staff and am mostly happy with what I know now. I am still learning the system and working out what does what. ----- ### "Good assessment" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *6 June 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The adaptability of the system and the personal and quick responses to calls for support. > > **Cons**: Would be good to allow certificates/evidence to be uploaded during the employees self assessment rather than waiting for the skills assessment to be approved by their line manager. > > Very pleased with the overall experience. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/293678/skillstation?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/293678/skillstation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
