Course Content:
Online training offered by 360training.com for occupational safety is fairly characterized as approaching the standard of the industry.
The self-paced ‘click and train’ style offers minimal interactivity and production value; course experiences are similar to PowerPoint presentations in both functionality and content display.
Courses average 30 minutes or longer, and provide information sufficient to cover training standards, with little additional supporting context; the verbatim narration is used in support of the on-screen text.
This approach supports 360training.com’s emphasis on affordability and access to a vast array of training topics.
360training.com’s courses do perform to Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee (AICC) and Subject Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) eLearning standards.
Authoring (Do-It-Yourself course construction) is available to customers via the LS360 LCMS Course Builder.
Languages:
Spanish is available for many courses; little information is available on languages supported for other training topics.
