Quality of the training
A feature comparison says little about what employees actually learn. That is why we assess learning quality separately, on seven criteria with a fixed way of measuring each one.
| Criterion | How we assess it | 2LRN4 | Awaretrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instructional design | Goal, scenario, decision, feedback and testing; independent review | Every course consists of short modules with a scenario and ends with a test. 1,363 of the 1,390 courses in the platform have at least one test. Source: Count in the platform, 16 Oct 2026 | Not established |
| Level of interaction | Share of meaningful choices and scenario exercises | Modules are interactive SCORM packages with decision points; the share of meaningful choices per module has not been measured. Source: 4,069 SCORM modules in the platform, 16 Oct 2026; share of choices not established | Not established |
| Presentation and currency | Date of last revision and currency of the scenarios | Twelve courses a year in a multi-year programme, with new topics each year instead of repetition. Source: Course library on 2lrn4.com, 16 Oct 2026 | Not established |
| Practical relevance | Fit with role, risk and current threats | Dutch practical context, covering NIS2 topics and courses per role and risk. Source: Course library and sector pages, 16 Oct 2026 | Not established |
| Accessibility | Subtitles, operability, language level and WCAG | Videos have burned-in subtitles, the learning environment partially meets WCAG 2.2 AA and the open points are listed in our accessibility statement. 27 languages.

| Repetition and behaviour change | Indicators with a baseline and a control group | Phishing simulation and reporting show click and report behaviour per department. Effect on behaviour with a baseline and control group has not been established. Source: Platform, 16 Oct 2026 | Not established |
For Awaretrain we will only publish a judgement after both platforms have been tested with the same cases and the same reviewers. Until then it says "Not established", because an empty cell beats a claim we cannot support. Checked on 2026-10-16.
If you want a Dutch vendor with ISO 27001 certification, nine languages are enough, and you prefer the vendor to run the simulations for you.
If you need more languages, want a multi-year programme instead of separate modules, or want to deliver the courses in your own learning environment with results returned to your gradebook.
