FAQ
Really good content
What distinguishes a good e-learning, explainer video or webinar from a bad one? The script and the messages. If the basis isn't right, the rest won't work.
Getting to the point
Script and messages are probably our greatest strengths. We focus on the essentials, always ask ourselves “why do I actually need to know this as a learner?”, throw out unnecessary blah-blah and foreign words and get to the point very quickly with a simple, comprehensible “call to action”. The participants love our content for this and regularly give us excellent feedback.
Addressing the right target group is very important for us, especially as part of an awareness campaign. Take a look at our know-how article on training the often forgotten IT target group.
We offer a wide range of content for target group-specific training, which can be put together flexibly and designed according to different criteria:
Function in the company: For example, dedicated training for managers, for all employees, etc.
Department / role: Special training for IT professionals such as developers or IT administrators, production employees, people in the board/finance area, etc.
Level of knowledge: Basic training, advanced training or training for people with a specialization, e.g. processing credit card data, people with privileged rights, or people who are frequently on business trips, etc.
All-in-one: training courses with pre-test. If you pass, you're through. Or training courses with refresher paths: Have you attended content before? Then take the refresher path!
We will be happy to advise you on putting together the right training for your target groups.
Yes - participants can have a certificate issued. Either through their company's learning management system or through the course, as required.
Of course, we always have our ears to the ground and keep an eye on changes, both in the legal situation and in company practice. If there is something to change, we update accordingly.
As part of our cloud service, these updates are included in the annual fee. With a purchase license, we inform you about the new version and you decide for yourself whether you want to update or not. However, the update price is so attractive that you can hardly refuse.
