Colossyan Learn
LESSON 1 · START SECURE
Build secure defaults from day one
Learn the simple habits that protect your accounts, messages, and devices throughout the workday.
Most breaches start with an ordinary moment, a reused password, a link that looked internal, a laptop left unlocked. This lesson covers the defaults that remove those moments from your day.

Training goes out of date faster than you can build it.
Most teams still juggle an authoring tool, a video tool and a translation agency, so every update means starting over. Teams on Colossyan draft in an afternoon, keep the final say on every scene, and update without rebuilding. Here's how Paramount, AmeriSave and others made the switch.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Yes, if your videos feed training. HeyGen is strong on avatar realism, digital twins and marketing video. Colossyan puts the training layer around the avatar: quizzes and branching on every plan, a course builder, and SCORM that reports pass or fail and score, from the Professional plan at $59 a month billed yearly.
Yes. HeyGen exports SCORM 1.2 and 2004 on its Business plan, $149 a month plus $20 per seat, and on Enterprise, with completion set by how much of the video is watched. Colossyan exports SCORM from Professional, five video and five course packages a month, and reports completion, pass or fail, score and resume position.
Yes, as source material. HeyGen exports MP4, audio and SRT captions. Upload the script or slide deck behind a video and Cora drafts a new training video you can edit, add quizzes to and translate. SCORM packages already in your LMS keep running while you rebuild.
Yes. Colossyan Starter is free with no credit card. It includes 20 minutes of video a month, AI avatars, quizzes and branching in up to 10 interactive videos a month, auto-translation and unlimited course creation. MP4 download and SCORM export start on Professional, at $59 a month billed yearly.
Colossyan holds a SOC 2 Type II report, shared under NDA, and is GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, and customer content is not used to train AI models. Enterprise adds SAML or OIDC single sign-on and a dedicated customer success manager.
It is a 30-minute call with our team. Bring a real document, deck or SOP and we build a first draft of a training video from it while you watch. Then we cover quizzes, translation, LMS export and your security questions, and you leave with a scoped plan for your team.
