How does it work?

All courses can be viewed via the Content Management Portal by an Administrator. Content can be purchased directly from the Content Management Portal, and these are then made available within the Astute E-learning Platform ready to roll out to employees.

Courses can be purchased individually, by topic or an entire e-learning suite depending on your requirements and is charged based on number of employees who will be using the system.

Once purchased the training administrator can enrol employees on to specific courses via the Astute E-Learning Platform. This can be done manually by each individual employee, or a group of employees can automatically be enrolled onto a programme of courses based on their Job Title.

Employees are given a secure login and a link to the Astute e-Learning Platform where they can clearly view their progress through their training programme directly from their Dashboard.

Once enrolled on a course, these are visible from their Dashboard and can be completed directly from within the Astute e-learning platform on any smart device with an internet connection.

Deadlines for completing courses can be set and notifications can be configured to remind employees to complete courses within the set deadline.

Once completed, users can download a copy of a Training Certificate if applicable.

Administrators can track progress of all courses for each employee via their Dashboard on the Astute E-Learning Platform which also includes details of their own personal training programme.
