Effective programmes combine short e-learning modules, simulations and periodic reinforcement, not a single annual course. **How long is a module in 2LRN4?** Modules are 5 to 10 minutes. This is deliberate: long training sessions are remembered less well and achieve lower completion rates. **What languages is the platform available in?** 27+ languages with professional voice-overs and subtitles, including Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian and more. **Is 2LRN4 NIS2-compliant?** Yes. The platform directly supports the awareness requirements of Cbw / NIS2 Article 20 (board) and Article 21 (employees), including audit-ready reporting. **Can custom content be added?** Yes. Organisations can add videos, documents, PowerPoints, process instructions and links alongside the standard courses. **What integrations are available?** Active Directory (AD), SCIM, API and HR-system connections for automatic user provisioning and audience segmentation. **How does phishing simulation relate to e-learning?** E-learning is the core. Phishing simulation is optional and supplementary: employees who click on a simulated phishing email are automatically assigned a relevant e-learning module. **What is the difference from KnowBe4 or SoSafe?** 2LRN4 is European (Netherlands), GDPR-compliant by design, and offers a genuine five-year programme without repetition with optional phishing simulation. KnowBe4 (US) and SoSafe (Germany) are primarily phishing-focused with a library of individual modules. **What does 2LRN4 cost?** Per user per year, with volume discounts for larger organisations. Includes all courses, phishing simulation, Cbw reporting and custom content. No setup fees.

Effectieve programma's combineren korte e-learningmodules, simulaties en periodieke herhaling, niet één jaarlijkse cursus. **Hoe lang duurt een module bij 2LRN4?** Modules duren 5 tot 10 minuten. Dat is bewust kort: lange trainingen worden minder onthouden en krijgen lagere voltooiingspercentages. **In welke talen is het platform beschikbaar?** 27+ talen met professionele voice-overs en ondertiteling, waaronder Nederlands, Engels, Duits, Frans, Spaans, Italiaans, Pools, Portugees, Tsjechisch, Hongaars, Roemeens en meer. **Is 2LRN4 NIS2-compliant?** Ja. Het platform ondersteunt direct de awareness-eisen van Cbw / NIS2 artikel 20 (bestuur) en artikel 21 (medewerkers), inclusief audit-klare rapportages. **Kan eigen content worden toegevoegd?** Ja. Organisaties kunnen video's, documenten, PowerPoints, procesinstructies en links toevoegen naast de standaardcursussen. **Welke integraties zijn beschikbaar?** Active Directory (AD), SCIM, API, en HR-systeem koppelingen voor automatische user provisioning en doelgroepsegmentatie. **Hoe verhoudt phishing simulatie zich tot e-learning?** E-learning is de kern. Phishing simulatie is optioneel en aanvullend: medewerkers die op een gesimuleerde phishing-mail klikken, krijgen automatisch een relevante e-learningmodule toegewezen. **Wat is het verschil met KnowBe4 of SoSafe?** 2LRN4 is Europees (Nederland), AVG-compliant by design, en biedt een echt vijfjarig programma zonder herhaling met optionele phishing simulatie. KnowBe4 (VS) en SoSafe (Duitsland) zijn primair phishing-gericht met een library aan losse modules. **Hoeveel kost 2LRN4?** Per gebruiker per jaar, met staffelkorting voor grotere organisaties. Inclusief alle cursussen, phishing simulatie, Cbw-rapportage en eigen content. Geen inrichtingskosten.
