Apps and Online Courses for Advanced Training and Compliance



Since the internet has made it possible for the newest information to be shared instantly, humankind has been moving more towards a digital world. In business, workers continuously need additional training and certifications to stay in compliance. A warehouse owner hiring order fillers will have to educate them on safety and protocols, while a doctor will need to take continuing education courses to keep their medical license in good standing. Take a close look at how apps, software, websites, and online classes are keeping working professionals up to date with their credentials and training. 



Remote Training Options by Industry

In most industries that demand continuing education and certifications, there are now many remote learning options that have become standard. Educators required to learn and be recertified in CPR may go online, find an app, or sign up for a course that gives them everything they need. With ilearntoboat, you can get a comprehensive education in boating safety. Notaries are learning how to notarize documents via Zoom, while entire court systems are re-educating their staff on how to facilitate remote hearings. Across all industries, training and education is going fully remote. It is more convenient, easy to schedule, in most cases, much more accessible.

Staying in Compliance in the Age of COVID-19

You won't just find various industry-specific organizations offering online courses and app designed to keep professionals in the know. DMVs across the nation are allowing drivers to register their vehicles online as well as take remote driver education courses. This is occurring because the COVID-19 crisis has eliminated most in-person learning and registration options. High school students are taking their SATs online, attending remote tutoring sessions, and even receiving their scores over the web. If you are used to filling out paper applications and taking courses in-person, you will see all of the ways that recertification and compliance is going digital.

Testing Knowledge and Know-How - Digitally

If you are skeptical about the efficacy of remote learning, then you might want to test the knowledge of those who have completed their training and received online certifications. The fact of the matter is that all certified and government approved online education courses are comparable to learning in-person. Think about how popular telehealth is and how many patients are happy with the treatment that they are seeing. This new approach to medical care makes use of technology, and measurable improvements have been made to the industry.

Whether you're learning something new or enhancing your education for business purposes, you will likely find an app or website that can be helpful. There is a website that contains an encyclopedia level amount of information that can help you in your career. Does that website have less merit because the information appears on the screen instead of in print? Of course not, so don't discount online learning and remote certification options. Keep all of your professional licenses up to date and maintain all of your certifications by taking all courses over the web.
