Four common reasons to start an online business school
First of all, the concept of "business school" is far from new. Philips was there early on and started the Philips business school in 1929. Every student of the company school was also sure of a job within Philips after graduation.

Relatively new is the addition of an online business school. An online company school (also called academy or university) is used to let employees follow a training course online. Online courses often lend themselves better to a good theory transfer with accompanying testing. You can save the classroom moments for practical instructions, exercises and discussions. A solution for an online company school is also called "e-learning software"; "Learning Management System" or "Electronic Learning Environment". In this blog we describe some important considerations to make the step to an online business school.
Recertification & Overview
Certain instructions should be repeated once in a given period. Think for example of the safety instructions that apply when you enter a specific company site, these can be valid for 12 months. But you could also think of an annual Security Awareness training. Procademy stimulates (firmly) that an employee will read the instructions on time and will repeat them (if necessary). Procademy sends several e-mail reminders for this, managers and administrators also receive automatic overviews of employees that have not followed certain trainings in time. In this way you can fully guarantee that employees repeat work instructions on time. The scores of all employees are tracked individually. The reports from Procademy you can also submit to auditors to demonstrate competence and knowledge assurance.
Uniformity and version control of course material
Because you keep a grip on "who learns which instruction when", you can be sure that the employees are aware of the applicable work instructions in the same way. This prevents that certain changes in working methods are not passed on to everyone in time. Because the employees are also tested, you can be sure that they have the minimum knowledge of this. You can always restore previous versions of training courses if necessary. Earlier versions Procademy will be retained.
Time saving
Many customers also use e-learning to go through the theory prior to a practical instruction. Think, for example, of a "Training small fire extinguishers", in which you might previously have spent 4 hours on a theory presentation + practice on location. With e-learning you can study the theory in your own time, and purely practice the theory on location. You will then be able to give the entire training in approx. 1,5 hours. Also from a planning technical point of view it is often more pleasant not to have to instruct employees via an on-site presentation. For companies working in an international setting, this advantage can weigh even more heavily. By letting the theoretical part take place online, you can save time on this.
Create independent training courses/work instructions/examinations
In our view, you should have full access to all your training materials yourself. That's why you should be able to create and schedule unlimited training sessions and exams, so that you are in control of all your training activities. The content is often already present in the form of various Word and PDF files. You can decide for yourself whether you want to be supported in this or whether you want to stage and manage it independently. Procademy-customer
