There are three main products in the Virtual Coach elearning suite.

Virtual Coach Player is what employees and trainees learn with.

Virtual coach aims to replicate all the benefits of a buddy trainer while at the same time addressing the disadvantages of buddy training.

The Training Assistant will assist with training administration.

Virtual Coach Developer is what trainers create learning with.

• The Virtual Coach authoring tool enables organisations and training providers to develop their own training.
• The Training Market has integrated video-editing functionality within the same package that learning modules are developed in.
• The Virtual Coach licensing process enables trainers to produce unique stand-alone modules for highly specialised learning needs.
• The modules can be mix-and-matched with modules from other Virtual Coach content developers.

Who is it for:

• Virtual Coach Developer' enables companies and training providers to develop Virtual Coach modules. Often, only one Virtual Coach Developer licence is required to develop unlimited modules for the user over the licence term - no additional per module fees.

Development Environment:

Unique learning advantage:

• Virtual Coach is ideal for showing staff and trainees how to do a task. You can demonstrate 'best practice' and also show examples of 'bad practice'; all in a highly visual very clear way.

Simple Interface:

• The modern interface design makes editing and producing modules easy and efficient. A key aspect of Virtual Coach is the speed at which modules can be produced.

Developer Skills:

• Virtual Coach Developer has been designed for trainers and supervisors…users do not need high level computer skills, or video editing skills…Virtual Coach is easy to learn.

Fast Assessment:
