Our e-learnings have received a comprehensive upgrade: With version 7, we’re introducing a new generation that not only looks more modern but also enables more targeted learning. At the center is a new feature – the test-out. This makes the annual e-learning session more efficient than ever.

What’s new in version 7?

We have fundamentally revised our system in many areas to make learning even more intuitive, accessible, and scalable in the future:

   Modern, responsive design for a consistent user experience across all devices

   Optimized UX: consistent and intuitive handling of familiar elements

   Full-screen mode to adapt to larger screens and higher resolutions

   Videos in Full HD for crystal-clear display

   UI texts optimized for translations - ideal for international rollouts

   Improved accessibility - numerous enhancements for even more inclusive learning

The new test-out option: targeted learning for professionals

We all know it: the annual mandatory training refresh is coming up, you can already recite the texts by heart, yet you still have to spend another hour on the topic. Repetition is important - but not every chapter needs to be equally extensive for everyone. That’s exactly where our test-out option comes in.

How it works:

  • Right at the start:
    Two questions per chapter - drawn from an A/B question pool to avoid recognition and prevent cheat sheets (yes, we know your tricks 👀).
     
  • Full focus: 
    Answer all questions correctly, and you’re done.  
     
  • Efficient continued learning:
    If not all questions are answered correctly, the chapters you didn’t pass will still need to be completed - the rest will be skipped.
     
  • At the end:
    You’ll be asked questions from the remaining chapters. If you answer these correctly, you’re all set. 
     

   Important: If you choose the test-out option, you skip the refresher. Both at the same time is not possible. 

Your advantage? 

More personal responsibility, less time spent - without sacrificing quality or traceability. This creates an individual learning path that takes your existing knowledge into account and specifically closes gaps. All at your own pace.

Conclusion: An update that sets new standards

With Version 7, we’re not just advancing our e-learnings technically, but also making the learning process more targeted, modern, and efficient. Experienced users especially benefit from the test-out - while everyone else enjoys a thoroughly improved learning experience.

   Training with precision: Those who already know save time - those who don’t yet, learn in a focused way. Modern, efficient, and up-to-date.
