It took considerable investment and analysis of our first half a million customers, but the rollout of Flexi-Pass Live Virtual Classroom puts the world's top experts in live interaction with learners all day, every day," said Michael Stebbins, Chief Innovation Officer. Participants can sign on to live, online instructor-led sessions at their convenience. Batches repeat multiple times throughout the week, so if a live session is missed, there are ample opportunities to pick up the next batch live, where students can learn, ask questions and dig deeper into the material with their instructor. "The results are strong so far. Course completion rates are averaging at 72%, and participant engagement has doubled when compared to the self paced eLearning model," said Stebbins. "We've been looking to create a disruptive learning model that offers a highly convenient environment for working profssionals to get trained, without making difficult compromises at the cost of their career," said Simplilearn Chief Product & Marketing Officer, Kashyap Dalal. "Through Flexi-Pass, Simplilearners can rest assured that they will be receiving high quality and engaging education through multiple interactions with subject matter experts, and learn complex technologies with ease." In our on-demand economy, education should be no different, catering to our time and schedules, to maximize potential learning and skills development. "What we have created with the Flexi-Pass product is in effect on-demand streaming of live instructor-led learning," said Dalal. "I believe with this we will be able to provide working professionals across the world the flexibility of learning at their convenience, and not force them to conform to rigid training calendars that turn them off," said Dalal. As the modern workforce has a rapid and ever-changing skills requirement, Simplilearn's newfound method of on-demand education will usher certification course completion rates to a new high and improve the overall ability to constantly up-skill. "This is exactly the problem that we wanted to solve - how do we offer a dream learning solution, which working professionals can use at their convenience, without making difficult trade-offs? The new Live Virtual Classroom and Flexi-pass deliver exactly that, by offering them the flexibility to change their learning plans and at the same time delivering very high quality and engaging learning that can help anyone learn even the most complex concepts/technologies through live interaction with an expert," said Dalal.
