      WHAT MAKES OUR SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMS DIFFERENT

      How our Skills Training Program is Uniquely Different than other workforce training programs on the market today.

      No Technology Skills or Equipment Required—No Special Equipment Needed, Nothing to Download, Easy-to-Use for Everyone!

      Virtual training is accessible from any internet connected computer or laptop that has a keyboard and speakers/headphones. (It is not compatible with cell phones or tablets.)

      An Immersive, Digital World of Learning

      Our virtual learning platform transports your staff into an immersive digital world of learning where their personalized avatar connects with other real student avatars and a live, licensed clinical instructor in real-time. This makes for a truly immersive experience for your staff to learn, breaking down barriers often found with traditional learning environments.

      Live, Licensed Clinical Instructor

      Our virtual skills training is led by a live, licensed clinical instructor to guide the staff in both group learning and peer-to-peer discussions

      Live Training, In Real-time—Always

      You'll never attend a one-size-fits-all pre-recorded training with us. We find staff learn better when they can ask questions and engage with peers in an environment that welcomes discussion and sharing perspectives. Our skills training is in real-time, instructor led, with peer-to-peer interactions.

      Affordable Training Options

      We offer low cost a la carte subscription-based training packages. Our flexible pricing models are some of the most affordable skills training programs on the market – and we’re able to keep it that way because we’re a nonprofit organization invested in helping you effectively train your workforce and solve staffing shortage challenges.

      It’s an immersive, virtual learning experience that participants access from the comfort of any device with an Internet connection

      Unlike traditional skills training programs, our evidence-based program is delivered to you virtually by a Licensed Clinical Instructor.
