Frequently asked

Common questions

How is OpenSesame different from Udemy Business? ⌄
Udemy started as a consumer marketplace and added enterprise features on top. OpenSesame was built for enterprise L&D from day one — every course is reviewed by subject-matter experts, every customer gets a dedicated CSM, and our deep LMS integrations mean your content lives inside the tools your team already uses. Udemy is great for individual upskilling; OpenSesame is built for organizational training at scale.
Can I switch from Udemy Business 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 OpenSesame have compliance training? ⌄
Yes — OpenSesame has 13,000+ compliance and safety courses covering OSHA, harassment prevention, data privacy, DEI, and more.
