What Kognent. does

Kognent is an Australian eLearning and communication specialist headquartered on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, operating in the workplace compliance and corporate training market across Australia and New Zealand. The company offers six SCORM-compliant training content libraries covering Health & Safety, First Aid & Medical, Human Resources, Transport & Logistics, Information Technology, and Career Skills, delivered through a proprietary cloud-based Learning Management System (learn.kognent.com). The platform supports custom branding, learner self-enrollment, dynamic reporting, workflow automation, and seamless integration into customers' existing LMS environments via SCORM standards.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining recurring subscription revenue through its &And product and library access agreements, one-time course licenses for targeted training needs, and professional services revenue from learning design, visual design, 2D/3D animation, live action and aerial videography production, and tailored learning/white-label customization. Go-to-market is mixed: a self-serve digital channel serves mid-market customers through direct platform access, while an enterprise sales-assisted channel handles customized deployments for large customers. The company has assembled a customer base of 50+ enterprise logos including Woolworths Group, Bunnings Warehouse, Ausgrid, Evolution Mining, Manheim, Engineers Australia, Coates, and AngloAmerican, spanning retail, mining, utilities, transport, and professional associations.

Kognent is described as having over 50 years of combined team expertise in online learning, with a stated workforce of approximately 6 employees in firmographic data, though an internal source notes the headcount is not publicly disclosed. The company partners with subject matter experts (notably Engistics for transport safety content) to maintain compliance accuracy, and publishes new modules on a monthly cadence to keep content aligned with evolving ANZ regulations. No funding rounds, revenue figures, patents, awards, or leadership disclosures are present in the available data.
