Custom Course Development Services
In addition to our off-the-shelf courses, we have both extensive experience and standardized processes to customize existing products to meet your specific content, graphics, or language requirements. We have supplied customised and off-the-shelf courses in English, French, Spanish, German, Hungarian, and Mandarin (both traditional & simplified script).
Learntech courses interface with industry standard Learning Management Systems (LMS) using AICC or SCORM. We have the solution to match your delivery platform. These low cost, effective, web-based training courses deliver highly interactive, multimedia, e-Learning solutions that improve performance in the workplace. We also have other delivery options.
Quality in training, like quality in most endeavours, is achieved through a combination of process, tools, assets, knowledge, attention to detail, and experience. Our processes are based on over three decades of experience with developing and testing a variety of e-Learning courses on every imaginable computer platform, working with enterprise level clients using current PCs and multimedia tools.
Existing Courses and Starting Points for Customization or Language Adaptation
Our extensive inventory of available electronic manufacturing training courses includes: Lean Manufacturing, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Prevention, Circuit Card Assembly, Mechanical Assembly, Surface Mount Technology, Soldering, Inventory Practices, Component Identification, Health and Safety, Laser Safety, Hazardous Materials, and Ergonomics. These courses target service personnel, operators, assemblers, technicians, engineers, supervisors, and managers. Several of our available courses also apply to field service, research and development, laboratory, design, even office, or field environments.
Full Custom Development
If we don't have the course you need, we can design, develop, and deliver full-custom training solutions that meet your specific training needs in any subject. And if you need it, so might others in your industry! So this can be factored into our pricing agreement with you. We enjoy collaborating with trusted clients in the real-world workplace. We serve a global market from North America to Singapore, with clients ranging from large multinational OEM manufacturers and government clients, to small, single location EMS companies.
Full custom e-Learning course development projects included: an operator training course complete with a simulator for a military radio manufacturer, instructional design work for the Canadian Centre for Management Development (CCMD), custom reading-skills product development for an e-learning partner company, chemical safety training for a high-tech manufacturer, and work through an alliance partner with Canada Wood Council, American Forest and Paper Association, and the Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario.
These projects included development services such as concept design, scripting, professional narration, and multimedia development. Projects have been implemented on video, standalone CD, LAN and the Web.
Instructional Design
We incorporate a multitude of innovative concepts stemming from a true understanding of learning process, and customer needs, including blended learning opportunities. Our instructional design process links client workplace performance needs to learning objectives and content, delivering relevant and efficient learning, better retention, and on-the-job results.
We work closely with your highly qualified experts to get the content right. We design your courses to ensure effective learning, using quality graphic, animation, audio, and video media that motivate and engage your learner’s attention. Multimedia uses more senses, adds intensity, and helps to accommodate different learning styles.
The web interface incorporates user-friendly controls structured to ensure that learning takes place. Courses offer the flexible routing and self-paced delivery that adult learners prefer. We take a modular approach to course content to provide just-in-time access and choice of path through the learning material to suit individual’s needs. Our design provides on-demand repeat, refresh, and review of learning delivered on a uniform, standard interface.
Interactive practice exercises and quizzes provide immediate feedback and correction for enhanced learning. Challenging, criterion-referenced testing and certification is keyed to the course objectives. Testing techniques including graphic match, performance tasks, numeric or text response, and multiple choice, to identify areas where additional training might be required. Administrative access to dates and scores of all tests and test attempts is compliant with ISO standards requirements for quality.
Your courses are available just in time, and can be scheduled to accommodate the needs of production, shifts, locations, and individuals. Your learners receive clear, consistent, standardized training, and can be brought up to speed quickly.
How we determine pricing for custom projects
We base our pricing on metrics from previous projects, by task function. A rough content analysis and determination of objectives usually will provide an indication of scope. We carefully consider the content complexity, richness of media required, and level of interaction desired. Other factors that affect price relate to the availability of existing text and graphic resources, your subject matter experts availability, timeline flexibility, and in some cases the potential for new generic products.
Billing is typically on the basis of Client-approved phase completion.
Opportunity for Shared-risk Co-development
Where you have a training content requirement that could also apply to other companies, we have developed a reduced pricing model that takes into account shared-risk/downstream-revenue potential. This approach allows us to partner with a trusted customer to develop a custom program that can also be used as the basis for new product development in the LearnTech suite of e-Learning courses. Both parties benefit from this arrangement. Contact us for more information.
