What's included

Three pieces that work together

Learners prepare on their own, you answer questions live, and the surveys tell you what stuck.

  • Self-paced course

    7 lessons, about 25 minutes, with 15 interactive activities and a 10-question final check (80% to pass).

  • Live session deck

    10 slides to run after the course, in the room or online, with audience Q&A.

  • Two surveys

    Post-course feedback and a 30-day check-in, anonymous by default, so you know whether the training is used on the job.

6 fields to fill in with your own policy, contacts and locations; each one is highlighted inside the course.

See who finished

Completion is tracked for you

Learners sign in to take the course, so every start, finish and score is recorded in AhaSlides. No spreadsheet to keep.

  • Who has finished

    See who has not started, who is in progress and who has completed the course.

  • Every score

    Each learner's result on the 10-question final check, against the 80% pass mark.

  • What landed

    Survey results show what people took away, and the 30-day check-in shows whether they use it.
