Construction Crews Need
Technical, Short, & Validated
Corporate Training
Construction projects rely on a system of delegation. Tasks are divided among sub-contractors who are responsible for completing their own work. Sub-contractors have to complete work to specification and pick up on their own mistakes and rectify them by themselves.
Obviously, this system of delegation creates risks.Â
It’s possible for mistakes to be made by sub-contractors at all stages of a construction project. That’s why it’s so important for main contractors to ensure that the work on their projects is fully supervised by a competent site crew.
The question is, how can the main contractor make sure that works requiring a high level of technical knowledge are properly supervised by their staff?Â
We have a solution.
Why we are different, No. 1
Let the crew Learn
'At the moment',
not later.
There is no time to learn later on-site. The site crew must learn NOW. Our solution automatically detects and highlights key technical terms from any documents they upload. Upon clicking, it provides relevant learning materials immediately.
Why we are different, No. 2
Let the crew Learn
'technical' contents,
not general stuff.
Construction crews need to supervise subcontractors, and it requires specific technical knowledge, not general ones. Our content can equip the crews with technical literacy in 4 risky areas, so they can manage subcontractors confidently.
Why we are different, No. 3
Let crew Learn
'in a few minutes',
not hours.
The construction crew cannot sit and learn for hours as they need to be on-site. Therefore, all our content is in microlearning format, consisting of bite-sized modules that would only take 5-10 minutes to complete.
Why we are different, No. 4
Let the crew Learn
the contents
'validated by the industry.'
We understand that nothing is more crucial than ensuring the technical contents for the construction crew are fully reviewed and validated by industry professionals. All our contents have undergone a rigorous validation process, conducted multiple times by industry experts.
what our clients have to say
Over 500 Five-star reviews
Technical knowledge is an essential aspect of any workforce, especially in construction and infrastructure development. In Australia, site crew are responsible for executing complex projects, and their technical knowledge plays a crucial role in the success of the project. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on providing technical training to site crews to improve their knowledge and skills.
We, as a technical training provider in Australia, have been delivering training to site crews for the past seven years. During this time, we have accumulated a vast amount of data on the technical knowledge levels of site crews before and after the training. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of the training and identify any areas that require improvement.
