Rapid e-Learning with Captivate is an intensive, hands-on, instructor-led course for training professionals who want to quickly learn to leverage Captivate for rapid e-learning. The course is typically taught onsite in a 2 or 3-day format, depending upon organizational needs. This course gets learners ready to work with Captivate in the learning context quicker than any course on the market. It goes far beyond simply teaching learners to use a tool. Rather, it focuses on developing competencies supported by a tool. Many of the concepts taught in this course are extensible to the use of other rapid e-learning tools as well.

Our unique approach to software training ties the course objectives to workflow (using your organization’s workflow or a “standard” workflow). This approach leads participants to a better overall understanding of how to apply Captivate to achieve specific organizational goals. Our entire focus is on rapid e-learning! We understand how to leverage the tools and technologies to maximize business results…and our goal is to help you do just that. Many of the techniques taught in this course are techniques we pioneered that are taught nowhere else.

This course is particularly suitable for teams that may include subject matter experts, trainers, designers, and developers and may aid in implementing restructuring of a learning organization for optimized performance in e-learning design and development.

Depending upon organizational needs and team readiness, this course may include advanced topics, such as the creation of advanced interactions, variables, and widgets.
