How can we help you?

 

SkillGate produces thousands of new programmes, tutorials, briefings, exercises and tests in key industry sectors every year. Our job is to make it easy for professional people to learn useful things - fast. Academy10 is one of the SkillGate sites. It specialises in Personal, Leadership and Office IT skills. Academy10 Gold is a restricted forum that allows training managers to evaluate and review this content (and our service) for your staff. How will SkillGate/Academy10 help? I don't have enough budget! This is possibly the most common refrain we hear today in these chastened times. But, even in good times training departments rarely have the resources they need to fully meet demands from their organisations. The SkillGate eLearning Multiplier is about offering more training, to more staff, more effectively, in more subjects - when they need it. To be specific, SkillGate elearning saves money because it: allows you to reuse learning objects as often as delegates want them. allows training specialist to store their knowledge for use when it is needed. allows external specialists to share their knowledge more widely and more cheaply. exploits free communication meda. slashes travel, accommodation and administration costs. I have too much work - and not enough time! So the SkillGate eLearning Multiplier means training more people, more often, in more relevant subjects. This sounds like more work - and I have enough already! What we absolutely don't want to do is make more work for you. SkillGate services are designed to offer easy solutions: hundreds of off-the-shelf tutorials in general and specific subjects (of course they can be customised with minimal effort). self-service approach to selecting training for delegates. a hosted solution so that management and administration issues are dealt with without your need to intervene. administration support such as short course booking and appraisal software integrated with content delivery on the SkillGate LMS. pre-programmed delivery of training so that delegates get what they want, when they want it, without your intervention. Am I running the best training possible? Once you have made a strategic training decision, the pressure is on to get the best education from the money you will spend. The market talks about 'blended' solutions as a way of maximising the learning experience - but most trainers rarely deliver truly blended solutions. We are different. SkillGate programmes are designed to integrate multi-dimensional approaches to training. We focus on delivering 'programmes' of education - not just courses. At the same time we believe the best stuff should be simple to create. Whatever we do we hmust remember it is essential to empower specialists - they have the knowledge your people need - and they are not elearning specialists. On the web the basic rules are: Short is sweet. Short and often is reinforcing. Glossy is expensive and distracting How do I raise the profile of training in my organisation? The SkillGate elearning multiplier means you can train more people, more often in more subjects. To do this you will need to get the message out. Marketing via email is a free resource for training managers. SkillGate systems are designed to make it easy and hassle free to market your people in the way you want to market to them - and they want to receive it It is all about 'priorities'. However staff set their learning priorities - competency gap analysis, appraisal, or simple selection - you can make your SkillGate system post relevant content to them on a regular basis. I want to make a difference. SkillGate systems automatically record activity and through management reporting we can put you firmly in strategic control of learning in your organisation. If you are looking to make a difference, why not make it your ambition to train every member of staff every day? We will help you make it happen.   Academy10 Gold allows you to evaluate content and tutorials yourself.   Recent Academy10 Tutorials: Successful Networking How to be an Influencing Star MS Excel Spreadsheets - PivotTables Charisma - Developing the X Factor Delivering Fantastic Customer Service Managing Your Manager - 6 rules for success Asbestos Awareness Negotiating - A Game Environmental Awareness Managing eMail Overload Assertiveness and Self Confidence Conflict Resolution Scenarios Giving Critical Feedback Grammar and Writing Skills He missed the deadline! - A coaching opportunity Safeguarding Children - For Everyone Getting more from MS Excel Spreadsheets First Aid Scenarios - a refresher programme Meetings - You have rights!
