I have been asked to re-assess our organisations 80% target for compliance training completions.  Wanted to see what targets other org's have set?

The compliance training goal depends on the regulation you are tied to, so depending on that, you may need to reach 100% or some other slightly lower percentage. In our case, most of the time we are required to meet 100% of the objective.

I'm currently with a financial institution and we have a 100% compliance target and we also remove access if your course material has not been passed.  Training material is more detailed in the first 2 years of employment and then refresher material is given in subsequent years to make it less burdensome but also effective.

The target has always been 100% in my current and past organizations.  My last company had a hard date of May 31st, and after that your account would be disabled.  You would then need to go to HR and complete your training to regain access.  That's a sign of a company that truly sees compliance as must do.

I think the target needs to correspond to your organization's risk profile.   Why 80%?  Why not 70% or 90%?  If your organization is in a highly regulated environment, then 80% sounds low to me.  You might even have different target % for different sections/divisions within your company.  My target is 100% for high-risk users and 80% for medium and below.
