TrainSA.com provides IT training at fraction of classroom costs

Johannesburg, 11 Feb 2000

TrainSA.com, the authorised supplier of Learn2.com products on the SA market, will be demonstrating the cost effectiveness of its range of training products at this year`s three Computer Faires in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Brian Andrew, MD at TrainSA.com says the products his company is distributing will provide employees with access to the answers they need, when they need them, whether at work, home or on the road.

"This is achieved through our interactive, multimedia, Web-based distance learning distribution system called Learn2University, which is a fraction of the cost of traditional classroom instruction."

"One of our main goals is to enable organisations to provide employees with the training and support necessary to do their jobs well and increase their level of productivity.

"We believe that training is an ongoing process and not merely a once off as with traditional instructor led classroom training, whereby up to 90% of what was taught could be forgotten within six weeks," says Andrew.

By implementing the Learn2University`s self-paced learning solution, corporations can increase the flexibility and reach of their training support to every employee. Users may choose to play entire chapters, or utilise the search function to answer a specific question when they need it. VCR-like buttons enable users to pause, rewind and fast-forward through topics.

"With our Learn2University we revolutionise web-based `just-in-time` learning and performance support to deliver multimedia rich content to the user`s desktop, anytime and from anywhere. Our catalogue provides access to an extensive range of interactive multimedia tutorials on popular business applications such as Office 2000, Office 95 & Office97, Windows, Microsoft Certified courseware, programming, training, the , financial applications, soft skills and more."

Learn2University is a completely outsourced and externally hosted Web-based training solution By utilising the powerful search function users are provided with an instant "Help Desk" at their desktops, with thousands of answers to common questions, allowing them to "learn as they work."

Employees can also access Learn2 Help, a service that enables users to email their questions to an expert. In addition, Learn2University contains a robust administrative system, records test results, provides two-way communication, and a wide variety of reports on training usage, individual learner progress, and overall effectiveness of the training initiative.

"Learn2University provides a low-cost, comprehensive solution for the deployment, assessment, and user tracking of best of breed courseware via the Internet. Because it is fully hosted and administered, a company can be up and running within a few days.

"There`s no need to hire additional staff, or spend time and money on the development and maintenance of your own training site. We also offer the training on intranets, LANs, CD-Rom or video," says Andrew.
