Frequently asked questions
Is Your Training Specific to YMCAs?
Do you add new courses?
We are regularly adding new courses or revising current courses to ensure they meet changing legal requirements and best practices for YMCAs. We typically roll-out a new or revised course every quarter or trimester.
How long are your courses?
Each course typically runs between 12 and 35 minutes.
Can we create our own courses?
We would be happy to share with you ways you can develop your own custom courses, using the same authoring tools we use. You can then use our learning management system (LMS) to deliver both our courses and the ones you create in-house specific to your organization.
Can you work with us to create custom courses?
Yes. Give us a call to discuss your course project! We really enjoy creating courses.
Can we use your system to distribute documents and staff handbooks?
Yes. Not only can you distribute any document, but you can control who accesses which document and require that they “sign off” that they received the document and understand its contents.
How do our staff access online courses?
Each staff person receives a unique login and can access assigned courses using a browser and internet connection. That’s it!
Do your courses have quizzes?
Yes, every course using quizzes, typically throughout the course, which must be completed and passed to obtain credit for the course.
Does your training system allow a learner to print out a completion certificate?
Yes. Of course the beauty of a good online system is that the learner does not need to print a certificate because the system tracks completion. However, some organizations like to have completion certificates in the employee’s file, in addition to in a report. Certificates are great for this.
How does reporting work?
Managers can access reports to any time to see who has and has not completed assigned courses. You can also easily set the system to send out reports at whatever interval you wish (for example every Monday at 8 AM) to whoever you wish. Typically a YMCA with multiple branches will want each branch director to receive a report tracking training status for their own branch employees. You could also, for example, have an aquatics director receive a report for all lifeguards at all branches. We will work with you up front to set-up reports that make the most sense for your Y.
Can you track compliance of our face-to-face trainings?
Can your LMS sync with our HR system?
Yes. We have several options to automatically transfer employee info from your HR system to our LMS so that your HR person does not have to enter employee data into multiple systems.
How much does it cost?
We charge an annual license fee for each employee. This license fee gives the employee access to all our courses and documents. The fee typically ranges from $11-$14. There is also a one-time set-up fee. See our pricing page for details.
