Three pieces that work together

Learners prepare on their own, you answer questions live, and the surveys tell you what stuck. 6 fields to fill in with your own policy, contacts and locations; each one is highlighted inside the course.

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 what to change next time.
