Q: How is this different from traditional e-learning?
A: Our cloud-based, online approach adapts to the level of knowledge and experience of the student. As your employees go through the training, our e-learning engine feeds a number of continuous data points into an adaptive algorithm. This adjusts the learning path for each person, giving them a faster, easier and more focused way to learn.
Q: Do I receive a certificate after completing the course?
A: We have 2 ways of providing insights and progress reporting for learners
1) You will receive a certificate of completion upon completion of the course.
2) For organisations with 10 users or more, we offer a full analytics dashboard so your management can drill-down into the strengths, weaknesses and progress of each individual learner.
Q: How long do I receive access to the online training for?
A: Our online training is offered on an annual subscription. The subscription timeframe begins when access to our adaptive e-learning course is given to each individual user.
Q: If we buy 1 Plus+ or Personalised license, are the product features and add-ons (like the virtual classroom, 1:1 support) available to our entire organisation?
A: We tailor our approach to each individual learner for the most efficient and effective learning experience - subsequently, this means that product features and add-ons will only be made available to each individual user.
Q: How often are the virtual classrooms held?
A: Depending on confirmed attendees, we aim to run these virtual classrooms once every 1-2 months via teleconference and virtual webinar.
Q: Do you offer discounts to companies for multiple licenses?
A: Yes - for purchases of multiple licenses we can offer bulk discounts. Contact your local sales representative or use our form to the right.
