Combination of online learning with live courses
Each online learning course consists of a mixture of videos, interactive content and further reading material. The videos last few minutes each and summarize the most important content. Besides, you can click through the content with more details and external links. A quiz at the end of each course tests your knowledge. Every course comes with a pdf summarizing the content as well as further reading materials to dive deeper into the topics.
The AMPOWER online learning programs can be complemented by live courses that are held by AMPOWER employees or experts from our network. The online learning programs generally form a basis for a more hands-on and in-depth discussion during a live course. Live courses can take place online or at customer facilities.
Additive Manufacturing Online Learning Certificate and Tests
Ensure progress through tests and certificates
At the end of each course, a quiz assessing the most important content ensures that all relevant points have been understood. Each quiz consists of different question types such as True or False, Multiple Choice or visual sorting questions. Members receive a certificate for the successful completion of each course awarded by AMPOWER. Certificates are a great way to keep track of which employee has earned what type of skills.
Additive Manufacturing Online Learning Team Functionalities
Create a group for your company, add team members and monitor their progress
Purchasing a team license allows you to create a group where you can add colleagues and monitor their progress as well as view their test results. Simply create a group code and share it with your colleagues so they will automatically join your group.
