Choosing the right training catalogue is a decision that has a direct impact on talent development in your organisation. isEazy Skills and Go1 are two of the most frequently mentioned options when L&D teams look for quality content to upskill their employees. However, their value propositions are radically different. This comparison provides an in-depth analysis of the differences between the two to help you choose the one that best fits your organisation’s training needs in 2026.
isEazy Skills is isEazy’s skills course catalogue, designed so that any company can offer its teams unlimited continuous training. With over 600 courses and programmes covering areas such as leadership, communication, productivity, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, sustainability and sales, the catalogue covers the most in-demand competencies in today’s market.
The model is a flat rate: the company gets access to the entire catalogue for a fixed subscription, with no additional cost per course. Content is delivered in SCORM format and integrates directly into the company’s LMS — or into isEazy LMS if the client does not have their own platform. The entire catalogue is available in over 8 languages, meets WCAG accessibility standards and is optimised for all devices.
What sets isEazy Skills apart is the quality and methodological consistency of its content: all courses are produced using the same learning-by-doing methodology, with interactive resources, built-in gamification and a knowledge retention rate of 93% according to client data.
Go1 is an Australian platform founded in 2015 that acts primarily as a third-party content aggregator. Its proposition is based on providing access to over 100,000 courses from external providers such as Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight and dozens of specialist publishers. Go1 does not produce its own content: its differentiating value lies in the breadth of its catalogue and its unified access model.
The platform includes basic management features (course assignment, completion tracking) and can function as an external content player within other LMS platforms via API or native integration.
Before analysing each dimension, this table summarises the structural aspects that set the two propositions apart:
| Aspect | isEazy Skills | Go1 |
|---|---|---|
| Type of solution | Curated proprietary power skills catalogue | Third-party content marketplace |
| Content production | 100% produced by isEazy with its own methodology | Content from 100+ external providers |
| Catalogue volume | 600+ skills courses | 100,000+ courses across multiple areas |
| Quality and consistency | High visual and methodological consistency across all courses | Variable depending on provider |
| Available languages | 8+ languages, native production in ES, EN and PT-BR | Predominantly English |
| Delivery format | SCORM, integrable into any LMS | API, native integrations with 70+ LMS |
| Accessibility | Certified WCAG compliance | Depends on each course's provider |
| Pricing model | Flat rate for full catalogue | Per-user subscription (minimum required) |
| Specialised schools | Yes (AI, Cybersecurity, Microsoft Copilot) | No — generalist third-party content |
All courses in the isEazy Skills catalogue are produced in-house using the same authoring tool and the same pedagogical methodology. This guarantees that employees have a consistent learning experience regardless of the course they choose: the same structure, the same level of interactivity, the same accessibility standards and the same visual quality.
The learning-by-doing methodology is the backbone of all content: employees face real-world situations and practical examples they can apply directly in their day-to-day work. Courses include over 28 types of pedagogical resources — interactive elements, games, multimedia content and simulations — that promote long-term retention.
The data speaks for itself: isEazy Skills clients report completion rates above 90% and a 93% knowledge retention rate, well above the industry average.
Go1’s catalogue exceeds 100,000 courses, which in theory offers an unrivalled breadth of topics. However, volume comes with a significant hidden cost: quality, format, language, interactivity level and user experience vary enormously between different providers.
A training manager who subscribes to Go1 will need to invest considerable time in curating, filtering and organising the content before rolling it out to their teams. This represents an additional workload that is not always factored into the total cost of ownership analysis.
For companies operating in Spain or Latin America, the language of the catalogue is a decisive criterion. isEazy Skills has its entire catalogue produced natively in Spanish, English and Brazilian Portuguese, with the same quality standards across all three languages. The catalogue is also localised into over 8 languages in total, making it suitable for companies with international teams.
Go1 provides access to content in multiple languages, but the catalogue is dominated by English. Courses in Spanish or Portuguese represent a fraction of the total and depend on which providers are available in each region. For companies with predominantly Spanish-speaking employees, Go1’s actual Spanish-language coverage may prove insufficient.
isEazy Skills goes beyond a generalist catalogue: it offers complete thematic schools developed in collaboration with leading institutions and companies, designed for upskilling in the most strategically important areas right now:
Go1 does not have its own schools or training programmes developed in collaboration with specialist institutions. Access to content on these topics in Go1 depends on which external providers are included in the subscription, with no guarantee of consistency or up-to-date content.
One of isEazy Skills‘ main advantages is its flexibility of deployment: courses are delivered in standard SCORM format, making them compatible with any LMS on the market. The process is simple — filter, select and download courses from the management environment and add them to the platform with a single click. The AI built into the management panel also helps manage catalogue titles with recommendations based on each company’s training needs.
For companies without their own LMS, isEazy also offers isEazy LMS, with native integration with the Skills catalogue and no additional configuration required.
Go1 also integrates with third-party LMS platforms via API or native connectors available for over 70 platforms (Cornerstone, SAP, Workday, etc.). Its strength in integrations is the breadth of connectors, making it attractive for companies with a well-established HR infrastructure that want an external content player without migrating away from their existing platform.
The pricing model of both solutions reflects their differentiated value propositions:
| Option | Pricing model | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| isEazy Skills | Flat rate — contact sales | 600+ SCORM courses, 8+ languages, WCAG, specialised schools, updates included |
| isEazy Skills + LMS | Custom pricing (catalogue + platform) | All of the above + isEazy LMS to manage training |
| Go1 Content Hub | Per user/month (minimum ~50 users) | Access to external provider catalogue + basic LMS features |
| Go1 Enterprise | Custom pricing | Full catalogue + advanced integrations + dedicated support |
isEazy Skills’ flat rate eliminates uncertainty: the price is fixed regardless of how many courses are consumed, and the full catalogue is always available to all employees. Go1 operates on a per-user model that can significantly increase costs for large organisations.
It is also worth considering the hidden cost of curation: with Go1, the L&D team will need to invest hours filtering and organising the third-party catalogue before rolling it out. With isEazy Skills, content is ready to use from day one.
Alain Afflelou is a great example of how a quality catalogue can transform a company’s training offering. With isEazy Skills, Afflelou enriched its Afflelou Academy and kept its internal development plans up to date with practical, up-to-date content.

The choice between isEazy Skills and Go1 depends on the organisation’s context, the profile of its employees and the L&D team’s objectives:
| Profile / Need | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Company with Spanish-speaking employees that needs a high-quality Spanish catalogue | isEazy Skills |
| Global company with mainly English-speaking employees needing bulk access to providers | Go1 or isEazy Skills |
| Small L&D team that needs content ready to use without curation | isEazy Skills |
| Company with an established LMS that wants to aggregate content from multiple providers | Go1 or isEazy Skills |
| Organisation looking for specialised training in AI, Copilot or cybersecurity | isEazy Skills |
| Company needing recognised external certifications (Google, IBM, etc.) | Go1 |
| Company that wants a flat rate with no variable cost per user | isEazy Skills |
| Organisation in Spain or LATAM focused on soft skills and digital skills | isEazy Skills |
| Company with a limited budget and few user licences | isEazy Skills |
For mid-sized and large companies in Spain or Latin America, the quality gap in the Spanish-language catalogue between the two options is a decisive factor. isEazy Skills delivers courses produced natively in Spanish to the same pedagogical and accessibility standards as its English catalogue — something Go1, relying on external providers, cannot guarantee.
Beyond isEazy Skills and Go1, there are other relevant options in the corporate training content market worth knowing before making a decision:
Provides access to university courses and certifications from providers such as Google, Meta and IBM. It is a valued option for advanced technical training and professionally recognised certifications. The format — multi-week long-form courses — is not ideal for daily corporate microlearning or soft skills development in the workplace context.
Microsoft’s training platform offers an extensive catalogue focused on professional and technology skills with native integration into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Its key strength is the connection with LinkedIn profiles. However, content is primarily in English and the pedagogical quality is more academic than practical, with video-based courses that offer little interactivity or gamification.

Udemy Business provides access to over 20,000 courses for businesses created by independent instructors. The range of topics is wide, but quality is very inconsistent. Like Go1, it requires internal curation investment. It does not include a specialised catalogue or training programmes developed in collaboration with reference institutions.

To sum up this comparison in one idea: isEazy Skills is the option for teams that want training to work from day one, with a consistent catalogue, proven methodology, quality Spanish-language content and no need to invest hours in internal curation. Go1 makes sense when the goal is bulk access to content from many English-language providers and the organisation has an L&D team with the capacity to manage that complexity.
For companies operating in Spain or Latin America, that prioritise pedagogical quality and consistency over volume, or that need specialised training in AI, cybersecurity or Microsoft Copilot, isEazy Skills is the most complete proposition with the best value for money on the market.
