Prognosis E-Learning - Intermediate Series

The Prognosis E-Learning Intermediate Series is designed for users who have completed the Prognosis Foundation series or who have a good working knowledge of Prognosis.

The Intermediate series is designed to provide users who are well grounded in the core functionality of Prognosis with more advanced knowledge they can use to improve their usage of Prognosis products.

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.
