Automated Reporting of Enrollment, Participation, and Testing of Comprehension

For individual training course subscriptions, our training system tracks each participant's online activity, tests for comprehension, and delivers detailed reports to help your company meet regulatory and Global Food Safety Initiative training expectations. For our Annual Group Subscription courses, each company should provide us a list of their training participant names and email addresses, and we can then set up each individual participant for tracking. To receive your company-specific report, simply contact us and we'll set it up for you.

Each training module includes a simple video presentation followed by a quiz that is scored and if successfully completed, awards a Certificate of Training that is easily downloaded and can be printed and placed into the employee's file, demonstrating successful completion of training and comprehension of the material.

Warehouse teams can be enrolled and managers for the team will receive detailed reports regarding training activities and scores of team participants.

Easy to Use, Easy to Understand

Our training programs are available online 24/7 and take about 30 minutes to watch the video and 10 to 15 minutes to take the quiz, so downtime is limited. Ideal for day shift or night shift employees. Each training participant receives their own login, and your company can establish a training path as individual as your staff members. If you have a special training need, just let us know and we can work to arrange our programs accordingly or put together a module just for you.
