We're here to answer any questions you might have.
Will I earn a certificate for courses I've taken?
Yes. Once you have completed any course, you will earn a Certificate of Completion. With many courses you can also earn a LinkedIn Certificate. Additionally, we can provide you with a badge to put on your website, email signature, and collateral material.
Why is eLearning so much in demand?
New technologies have opened up so many opportunities. eLearning brings training to you at your fingertips. It eliminates the need to travel or schedule time away from work or home. With eLearning you can circle back and review over and over as needed. It saves money. No travel and hotel costs, and the tuition is generally significantly less than hands-on training.
Is eLearning as effective as hands-on training?
Absolutely! Even courses that have traditionally only been taught in a hands-on environment can be learned effectively with solid lessons featuring video demonstrations, resource materials, and ongoing support.
I'm not very computer savvy. Is the program easy to use?
The eLearning interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Putting your questions out there is also simple. You will be able to ask your questions while you are watching lessons. Additionally, you will be subscribed to the topical Community Support to discuss questions/issues with your instructor and peers.
