ONLINE TRAINING
Confused by conflicting claims of web based and online training companies?

Are you interested in implementing an effective, less expensive delivery of training to all employees, but...You're confused by vendor claims, vapor ware products, and less than expected returns from the new technology formats?

Many vendors claim you can train all employees on the internet with guaranteed results. They promise your costs will drop and benefits increase with easy-to-use computer-based training. New terms from the technically advanced formats, such as "drop out rate", indicate the claims may not be valid. Would you give your employees a handbook and expect them to learn required safety procedures by reading the content?

Probably not. Text on a screen is not a learning tool. For learning to take place, programs need to engage the participant. TrainingWeb programs are loaded with interactions that engage the participant, lessons with proven content, testing to measure comprehension, and an easy to implement LMS (learning management system) to document and manage all your training.

  • Summit designed the programs to insure results, using proven adult learning theories to increase comprehension and retain important safety procedures. We offer a customizing capability that allows you to provide specific information such as your company's logo, add your own questions, video clips, digital photos or graphics, audio, and text.
  • The programing is so complete you can choose to do the changes in-house or use our staff of experts to complete the customizing for you. TrainingWeb is a virtual program to manage all of your training, documentation and scheduling. You will receive guaranteed results.
  • TrainingWeb provides the answers you are looking for in a browser-based, web-enabled training system. You owe it to yourself to see how TrainingWeb can be implemented in your company, and train employees for less than $3.00 per program per employee. It is the premier training system for all your Environmental, Health and Safety training requirements. See for yourself how it will work for you.
  • TrainingWeb's robust Learning Management System provides more documentation and record-keeping capabilities than any other inclusive system. You can set annual retraining schedules and determine required training by department, job task, facility, location or division. Because the LMS uses a database of dynamic content, you can customize any portion of the training. Also because we know you will want to use training from multiple sources, our LMS is compatible with other software or ERP programs. We are able to customize any aspect of the software to meet your specific requirements.
Sample Screens
  • Every vendor offers a different array of pricing venues. Because we know usage may vary in each division of each customer, we offer several options for pricing to meet your specific needs. All these options provide a cost- effective method to deliver training for as little as $3.00 per employee, depending on usage, number of programs implemented, and any custom services required. Each TrainingWeb program is available in Internet delivery, Intranet application, or on CD-ROM.
