Prognosis E-Learning - Foundation Series

The Prognosis E-Learning Foundation Series is designed for users who have little or no prior knowledge of Prognosis. It is designed to provide users with a basic understanding of the Prognosis products, their design and usage.

Each module is focused on a single subject-area and includes synchronized voiceover and dynamic display of text, graphics, animations and movies.

Each Prognosis E-Learning module should take approximately 20 minutes to complete (longer if necessary) and includes a short quiz to test against the learning objectives for that module.

An optional “report card” for each participant can be emailed to a nominated manager in order to ensure compliance and to record student results.
