Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | (10) Revenue Revenue Components and Performance Obligations Subscription Services Skillsoft offers subscriptions that provide customers access to a broad spectrum of learning options including access to cloud-based Software as a Service (“SaaS”) learning content and individualized coaching. Our cloud-based subscription solutions normally do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the platform or to download course content without continuing to incur fees for hosting services and, as a result, are accounted for as service arrangements. Access to the platform and course content represents a series of distinct services as we continually provide access to, and fulfill our obligation to, the customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to subscription revenue is usually recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer. Our subscription contracts typically vary from one year to three years. Our cloud-based solutions arrangements are mostly non-cancellable, non-refundable, and are invoiced in advance of the subscription services being provided. Revenue from individualized coaching for time-based access to unlimited sessions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period these services are available to the customers. Virtual, On-Demand and Classroom Revenue from classroom training is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered. Revenue from virtual and on-demand training for time-based access to unlimited sessions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period these services are available to the customers. Billing is in advance of the services being provided or immediately after the services have been provided. Professional Services Skillsoft also sells professional services related to its cloud solutions which are typically considered distinct performance obligations and are recognized over time as services are performed. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided (proportional performance method). These services usually consist of implementation, integration, and general consulting. Skillsoft’s professional service engagements are mostly short in duration. Billing is commonly in advance of the services being provided.
