Moving
Moving to The Skill Site
These are the ways in that exist today, and the way out if you ever want it. We would rather you could leave than be unable to.

Ways in
- Your learners, from a spreadsheet. Staff upload a CSV with an email column, and optionally name, user id, gender, role and client, up to 1,000 rows at a time, into the organisation or straight into a batch. New people get an account and anyone who already has one is invited. A sample file is on the import page.
- One-to-one classes, from a spreadsheet. A music school lists each pupil's course, teacher, weekday, time, length and place, up to 300 rows. The page checks the file first and writes nothing until you approve it.
- SCORM packages. Upload a SCORM 1.2 or 2004 zip as a lesson block, up to 100 MB zipped, and see each learner's result.
- Notebooks. Start a lesson's notebook from a Jupyter
.ipynbfile. It becomes Python text, and outputs are not kept. - A course moved for you. On request we import another course for $250.
- A setup call. A 30-minute call comes with a Training plan. The Teacher plan has none.
SCORM and notebooks are in the Training plans and the free plan, not the Teacher plan: see pricing.
Step by step: the help centre's guides to people and access, with the learner import, and to setting up a music school, with the one-to-one spreadsheet.
The way out
- Download as you go. Grades, attendance, progress, quiz results and assignment grades each have a CSV download.
- When a Training plan ends. Staff keep read-only access for 60 days to export their data. Then the organisation's records and uploaded files are erased, and backups age out within 14 days.
- The full export. Before erasing, we write out every record as JSON files and list the uploaded files. Ask us at hello@theskillsite.com.
- When a Teacher subscription ends. The organisation moves to the free plan with its data, and nothing is erased.
The terms are in our data processing agreement.
Questions and answers
Do I keep my data if I leave?
Yes. Staff can download grades, attendance and progress as CSV files at any time. On a Training plan that ends, staff keep read-only access for 60 days, and the CSV downloads still work, before the organisation is erased. Before erasing it we write out every record as JSON files with a list of the uploaded files, and you can ask us for them. A Teacher subscription that ends moves to the free plan and nothing is erased.
Can you move my courses for me?
On request we import another course for $250, invoiced separately. There is no automatic importer for another platform's courses, so the course is built here by a person.
Do learners need new passwords?
Nobody has a password. Learners sign in with a single-use code sent to their email, or with Google.
