Frequently asked

Common questions

How is OpenSesame different from Go1?
Go1 is a content aggregator — they pull together courses from 250+ providers and give you access to all of it. OpenSesame is a content curator — every course in our library is reviewed by subject-matter experts before learners can access it. The difference shows up in quality, support, and outcomes. Every OpenSesame customer gets a dedicated CSM who works as an extension of your team, not just a content library to browse.
Can I switch from Go1 to OpenSesame easily?
Yes — most customers are up and running within 1–2 weeks of signing. Our dedicated onboarding team handles the full transition and integrates with your existing LMS, so there's minimal disruption to your learners.
How does OpenSesame pricing work?
OpenSesame offers flexible plans designed around your organization's size and training needs — no hidden fees, no surprises. View plan options → or book a demo and we'll walk you through what makes sense for your team.
Does OpenSesame work with our existing LMS?
Yes — OpenSesame integrates with 100+ LMS platforms including Workday Learning, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Degreed, and more. Setup typically takes less than a day with help from our onboarding team.
Does Go1 curate its content?
Go1 aggregates content from 250+ providers but doesn't apply a consistent quality review across all of it — quality varies by provider. OpenSesame reviews every course through a rigorous quality assessment before it goes live. That means every course your learners access has been vetted for accuracy, engagement, and real-world applicability.
