Annual compliance training has a memory problem: employees click through a course, pass a quiz, and forget most of it within weeks — long before the behavior it's meant to protect against ever comes up. Spaced repetition fixes this by reinforcing the critical rules at expanding intervals across the whole year, so the knowledge is there when it matters, not just on test day.
Quizlar lets a team turn any policy, regulation, or onboarding material into a shared deck and schedule it into each employee's memory automatically.
— Sangura, founder of Quizlar. I built the tool that checks whether people remember the policy, not just whether they sat through the training.
Compliance training has a quiet lie built in: it measures that someone attended, not that they remember. Everyone clicks through, the certificate prints, the audit box goes green — and the actual policy is gone within the week. You’re not short on completions. You’re short on retained ones, because nothing tests memory once the session ends.
I build Quizlar solo — I started it in December 2025, once agentic coding tools got good enough to build the learning tool I’d always wanted. My rule for it is simple: learning is a mental gym, so the app can rack the weights, but you still have to lift. Any tool that quietly hands you back its own job — making the cards, grading yourself, staring at a screen — is a tool you’ll quit. That’s the one thing Quizlar won’t do.
The forgetting curve is steep: without reinforcement, people lose the majority of new information within days. A once-a-year course front-loads everything into a single session and then lets it decay for eleven months. The completion certificate says "trained"; the employee's actual recall says otherwise.
Instead of one long session, spaced repetition delivers short, frequent reviews timed to each person's memory. The FSRS algorithm predicts when someone is about to forget an item and resurfaces it just before that point — maximizing retention for minimal time. Over a year, an employee spends a few minutes here and there and actually remembers the rules.
Security awareness and phishing, data privacy (GDPR/HIPAA), workplace safety, anti-harassment, code of conduct, financial controls, and role-specific certifications. Anything where "we trained them" needs to mean "they actually remember it."
Because progress is tracked per learner and per deck, you can show not just that training was completed, but that knowledge was retained over time — a stronger position in any audit or incident review than a one-day quiz score.
Because it front-loads everything into one session. The forgetting curve means employees lose most new information within days, so by the time the situation the training covers actually arises, the knowledge is gone.
It replaces one long session with short, frequent reviews timed to each person's memory. The FSRS algorithm resurfaces each rule just before it would be forgotten, so retention stays high across the whole year for minimal time spent.
Yes. Paste a policy document, handbook section, SOP, or a training video and Quizlar drafts cards that an author can refine into a shared org deck.
Yes. Quizlar tracks progress per learner and per deck, so cohort analytics show retention over time — a stronger audit position than a one-day completion log.
Security awareness, data privacy (GDPR/HIPAA), workplace safety, anti-harassment, code of conduct, financial controls, and role-specific certifications — anywhere durable recall matters.
