The SWIFT Learning Environment

The SWIFT (SoftWare Intelligent Freeform Training) Learning Environment can be customized to include any of the modules. SWIFT is the students' personalized guide to all their training requirements. Automated emails can be set up to send to students and/or administrators to notify them of upcoming or overdue tasks.

Courses - Every SWIFT course is developed working closely with industry Subject Matter Experts and offer standard features including interactive exercises, tracking, and adaptivity. Courses adapt content based on learning objectives and adaptive testing to assess learner knowledge prior to beginning a course. Research has proven that adaptive testing not only, shortens training time, it also increases learner retention. All SWIFT courses also allow learners to navigate to any topic of interest for review or refresher training. Other features such as audio, video, corporate pictures, links to manuals, other languages- pretty much anything you can think of that might better meet your corporate training needs can be delivered in a SWIFT Course.

Tests - SWIFT tests are useful tools for assessing knowledge, re-certification, or even hiring purposes. They are designed to validate competency, shorten training time, and increase your return on investment. There are three SWIFT test categories offered to address your organizations corporate needs - standard, fixed-length, and Adaptive Tests.

Classroom Training - Learners can access a calendar of classroom training and self register, the GeMS administrator can enroll them or the process can be automated through a batch enrollment.

Supplemental Resources - Everything from webinars to books can be listed and accessed (if available online) within supplemental resources.
