Corporate Online Training for Employees
The Biotech Learning Institute (BLI) specializes in providing biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies with online training for their employees.
By providing:
1) a full-service solution to training,
2) a complete list of validated, high-quality courses to train professionals
working in the industry, and
3) easy-to-use, customized training reports for Training Managers, the Biotech
Learning Institute is the best source of filling corporate training needs.
The Biotech Learning Institute's Corporate Training Solution Procedure:
- An annual or bi-annual
Licensing Agreement is extended to the company seeking to train its employees
using courses offered through the Biotech Learning Institute.
- Discounted (30% on standard
individual prices) training is provided for companies training 5 or more
employees/contractors. The agreement can be extended for one course, multiple
courses, or for access to the full catalog of BLI's online courses.
- Once the Licensing Agreement
is signed, the company will send an Employee Training Spreadsheet to BLI,
including the names, email addresses, phone numbers for the employees needing
the training. This spreadsheet does not need to include all the employees
needing training. It can be sent including small batches of employees
throughout the term of the Licensing Agreement.
- BLI sets up all the employees
needing training with a user profile, including a username and password
required to access the BLI user interface.
User Access Emails are sent to each employee. This email provides the
employees with all the information required to access the BLI user interface.
The interface lists all the course(s) which the employees have been enrolled
in. The User Access Email includes helpful hints to accessing and completing
the requirements needed to pass the course(s). The training manager can be
copied on these user access emails.
- The employee is provided 24/7
access to the course(s) for a term period of 90 days from when the employee is
issued the email providing their user access information. The employee can
access the course(s) using any Internet Connection, such as their computer at
home or at work. Slow dial-up networking requires extra time to buffer the
course, but works fine with all the BLI course(s).
- The employees can take the
Course Final Assessment as many times as they would like during their 90 day
access period. Their highest score is the score that is recognized. Access to
the course(s) can be extended for an additional period of 30 days.
- Once the employee passes the
Course(s) Final Assessment, they are done with the training. Training
Certificates of Completion are emailed out once a month to the employees that
have passed the course during the previous month. The training manager can be
copied on these emails which include the certificates.
- Employee Training Updates are
issued in spreadsheet format to the training manager every month. These
spreadsheets include the employee's name, the course that they are enrolled
in, date of access, and their status (whether they passed or not), along with
other details.
- The training manager has
access to a Biotech Learning Institute Training Account Manager, who is
responsible for enrolling users, providing interim updates, answering
questions, extending employee access, issuing the Employee Training Updates,
and more.
- Licensing Agreement can be
renewed on an annual or bi-annual basis.
