Map roles. Close skill gaps.

KC Map is the competency builder that turns role requirements into ranked courses — then pushes them into KC LMS as learning paths.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the best competency mapping software that pushes straight into an LMS?
KC Map is built for exactly that. You define the competencies a role needs, its AI ranks your learning library's courses against each one across three proficiency levels, and a single click pushes the finished map into KC LMS as ready-to-assign learning paths. Nothing sits between your competency model and your training: the map you build becomes the paths your team actually takes, and completions flow onward into Comply's audit trail. Most tools stop at the spreadsheet; KC Map takes it all the way to live learning.
How do I map job competencies to actual training courses automatically?
With KC Map, you start by defining a role's competencies — or let its AI suggest them for you — and the AI matches each competency to KC Library courses, ranked for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Instead of hand-picking videos from a catalog of 50,000+, you review a ranked draft and adjust. Because KC Map reads straight from KC Library and writes straight to KC LMS, the courses it recommends are the exact ones your team can be assigned in a single click. The mapping stops being a research project and becomes a review.
Can I build a competency framework from O*NET or SFIA instead of starting from scratch?
Yes. KC Map lets you start from recognized standards like O*NET and SFIA, or build entirely on your own model — whichever fits how your organization already thinks about skills. From there you shape the map on a visual canvas with live preview, set three proficiency tiers per competency, and let the AI attach ranked KC Library courses. Because it all lives on one KnowledgeCity data model, the framework you adopt here becomes the learning paths in KC LMS and, in time, the evidence in Comply — one definition of what 'competent' means, used everywhere.
How do I turn a competency model into learning paths for my whole team?
KC Map closes that gap in one click. Once your competency map is built and AI-matched to KC Library courses, One-Click LMS Sync pushes it into KC LMS as structured learning paths, ready to assign by role, location, or hire date. You never rebuild the same structure twice: the competencies you defined, the proficiency levels you set, and the courses the AI ranked all carry through intact. And when new KC Library courses fit an active map, the Updates Monitor tells you — so your paths stay current without a manual audit each quarter.
What competency mapping tool keeps my maps updated when new courses are released?
KC Map's Updates Monitor watches your active maps and alerts you whenever a newly released KC Library course fits a competency you've already mapped. Instead of re-auditing every role each quarter, you get a prompt to add the new course and re-sync the affected learning paths to KC LMS. It works because KC Map and KC Library share one data model — new content is visible to your maps the moment it publishes. Your competency framework becomes a living thing, not a document that quietly goes stale in a shared drive.
How do I set beginner-to-advanced proficiency levels for each competency?
KC Map uses three-tier proficiency mapping — Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced — on every competency you define. For each tier, its AI recommends the KC Library courses that build that level of skill, so a single competency can carry a full progression rather than one generic course. You can adjust the picks in the visual editor, then push the whole thing to KC LMS, where each tier becomes part of an assignable learning path. It's the difference between saying someone 'needs SQL' and giving them the exact sequence that takes them from beginner to advanced.
Can I bulk-import or export competency maps from a spreadsheet?
Yes. KC Map supports Excel import and export, so you can bulk-author competencies and course mappings in a spreadsheet, bring them in at scale, and export any map when you need to share or archive it. Maps organize into projects, which keeps large initiatives — a department rollout, a new-hire program — tidy and reviewable. Once imported, everything behaves like a native KC Map: AI course recommendations, three proficiency tiers, one-click sync to KC LMS, and update alerts from KC Library. Your spreadsheet becomes live, connected learning instead of a static planning file.
