Discover how Microsoft Viva Learning fosters career growth and personal development.
Viva Learning is a learning platform which seamlessly incorporates education and personal development into the flow of work.
Launched in early 2021 as part of the broader Microsoft Viva suite, it aims to foster a culture of continuous learning within organisations. Viva Learning centralises learning resources from various sources, including LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn, and third-party content providers, making it easier for employees to access relevant training materials directly within the applications they already use.
The platform provides personalised learning experiences by recommending courses and content based on individual roles, skills, and career aspirations. Managers can assign training programs, track progress, and encourage team members to develop new skills, thus aligning professional development with organisational goals.
Why use Viva Learning?
Microsoft Viva Learning is an essential tool for organisations looking to enhance employee development and engagement.
It brings together learning resources from various platforms, providing a centralised hub that makes it easy for employees to access training and up skill at their convenience. With its integration into Microsoft Teams, employees can seamlessly incorporate learning into their daily workflows, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Additionally, employees can create playlists of learning content, collaborate on training through Teams, and share knowledge, promoting a peer-to-peer learning culture. By adding a learning tab to Microsoft Teams channels, you can easily search and share content, collaborate with colleagues, track progress, discover personalised learning suggestions and more.
Viva Learning also hosts rich analytics tools that help organisations gauge learning engagement and effectiveness, enabling targeted improvements in training strategies.
By integrating learning into daily workflows, Microsoft Viva Learning transforms employee development from an occasional activity into a continuous, integral part of the work environment.
This not only boosts employee engagement and satisfaction but also enhances overall organisational productivity and agility in adapting to future skills demands, making it an essential tool for companies who are looking to thrive in a rapidly changing business landscape.
Key Features of Viva Learning
Viva Learning is designed to motivate employees to up skill, share ideas, and continuously develop their personal growth within the company.

Learning through Viva Learning is a social and synergetic process which engages the individual as well as the team. Create collaborative learning spaces by adding a ‘Learning Tab’ in Microsoft Teams, making it easier than ever for colleagues to share content recommend courses, and partake in peer learning and mentor conversations.

What our customers say about us


Core have been outstanding to work with. They really listened to what we were trying to do, talked through all of their ideas, and fully explained the pros and cons involved while taking into account our long-term business goals.
Over the years, Core and the University of Law have built a strong relationship based on trust, expertise and knowledge. Core has always listened to and addressed our specific needs, before tailoring a specific and precise solution, whether that be delivering a successful SharePoint Online project, or when approached for some guidance or advice around Dynamics 365 licensing. We very much look forward to collaborating on future projects with Core.
It was apparent from day one that Core had a depth of knowledge in Microsoft 365, which we simply hadn’t found anywhere else.
With pre-purposed training modules and the ability to tailor training to our specific needs, Core ticks all the boxes. What may have taken weeks to prepare by way of training materials, instead took only days.
Core have helped us with various projects, from initiation to delivery for web development to app deployments, and they have always shown a high level of expertise and creativity. Core is not just a solution provider, they are also a trusted advisor who take time to understand our needs and goals to ensure our investment delivers value to the business.
