SCOOL Check is Shinhan Bank’s self-assessment and competency evaluation tool, created as a strategic extension of SCOOL, the mobile learning platform that transformed corporate training across the organization.
The goal was simple but high-stakes: make mandatory skill evaluations feel motivating, approachable, and worth returning to.
By blending familiar Korean app interaction patterns, interactive coding practice, and clear progress visualizations, SCOOL Check gave employees a transparent, empowering view of their capabilities. What had once been a compliance exercise became a framework employees trusted — and one that other organizations within Shinhan Financial Group quickly adopted.
Results —
Shifted competency evaluations from a compliance requirement to an engaging, repeat-use tool
Established a new standard for digital skill measurement in Korea’s financial industry
Inspired adoption by multiple organizations within Shinhan Financial Group and beyond
