Sikgen AI

United States

AI LMS for education and training organisations in the US

The US is the most crowded LMS market in the world, and competing on the generic term is not a sensible use of anyone’s budget. Where a platform like this is genuinely differentiated is narrower: organisations that own substantial proprietary content and want it turned into tutoring and assessment rather than filed. That points at commercial training companies, professional-certification providers, bootcamps and course businesses — not at K-12 districts, where procurement is long, incumbents are entrenched, and student-privacy statutes vary state by state.

Who this is for in the US

Commercial training companies

Substantial proprietary curriculum, delivered to businesses, where the content is the asset and the platform is infrastructure.

Certification and licensure prep

Providers whose reputation is a published pass rate, which makes item-level assessment analytics directly commercial rather than nice to have.

Bootcamps and workforce programmes

Outcome-reported technical training, often with a coding component and cohort pacing that needs tracking.

Course businesses and EdTech

Companies that want to launch under their own brand without building and maintaining a platform.

Where we work in the US

Sikgen AI is a cloud platform — these are the markets we have written about, not the limit of where it can run. There is nothing to install anywhere.

Regulation and data protection in the US

These obligations generally sit with your institution rather than with us as a software supplier. They are listed because they shape what a platform has to do — not as a claim that buying software discharges them.

FERPA

Applies to educational institutions receiving federal funding and governs education records. Where it applies, a vendor typically operates under the school-official exception, which carries specific contractual conditions — your counsel should confirm they are met.

COPPA

Governs collection of personal information from children under 13. It is a significant reason we do not position this platform for US elementary education; the compliance surface is real and we would rather not pretend otherwise.

State student-privacy statutes

New York Education Law §2-d and California’s SOPIPA are the most cited, and they are not identical to each other or to FERPA. There is no single federal standard to satisfy, which is why US education procurement takes as long as it does.

Data residency

The US imposes no general federal data-residency requirement on private-sector training. Individual contracts and state rules for public institutions may still impose one.

Where your data is held

We do not operate a US-hosted region today. Hosting arrangements and the current sub-processor list are provided in writing with the DPA before signature. For a commercial training company this is usually a contractual question rather than a blocker; for a public institution subject to state rules it may well be a blocker, and that is worth establishing before either side invests time.

Full detail on our security posture — including what we do not claim — and the data processing agreement.

Reporting and accreditation

WIOA-funded programmes

Workforce programmes drawing federal funding carry participant tracking and outcome-reporting obligations. The platform holds the learning and assessment records; the reporting itself stays in your workforce system.

Support hours and billing

Time-zone overlap

This is the honest weak point of the relationship. US Eastern time is 9 hours 30 minutes behind India and Pacific is 12 hours 30 minutes behind, so there is little natural overlap with a standard Indian working day. Enterprise arrangements can include agreed response windows. If you need staffed support inside US business hours as a hard requirement, say so early.

Billing & payment

Invoicing in USD. Card payments run through Stripe and PayPal; most institutional customers are invoiced against a purchase order. Sales-tax treatment varies by state and by what is being sold — your finance team should determine it.

Questions we get from United States

Do you work with US school districts?

Generally no, and deliberately. K-12 district procurement involves FERPA, COPPA and state statutes that differ from one another, and we are not positioned for that surface. Our fit in the US is commercial training, certification preparation and workforce programmes.

Is data hosted in the United States?

Not today — we do not operate a US-hosted region. Hosting arrangements are set out in the DPA before signature. For a commercial training company this is usually a contractual matter; for a public institution under state rules it may be a genuine blocker.

What support hours do we actually get?

Our team works Indian hours, which overlap poorly with US business hours — Eastern is 9.5 hours behind, Pacific 12.5. Enterprise agreements can include defined response windows. If staffed live support during your working day is essential, we would rather tell you now.

Are you SOC 2 certified?

No. If an independent audit report is a hard gate in your procurement, we do not currently meet it. See the security page for what we do and do not claim.

See it on your own content

Bring your curriculum and a real cohort. We will show you what the platform does with them — and say plainly where it would not help.
