Customer Speak



Customer Profile
A leading global provider of engineering & construction services and products for oil, gas, chemical, mining and power generation industries.
Business Case
  • The company sought ways to respond quickly & cost-effectively to departmental requests for training courses on operational and regulatory best practices.
  • With long lead times for developing new courseware, however, the company faced a sizeable backlog of requests. The problem was further magnified by the company’s global shortage of qualified trainers.
  • The company knew that delays in training workers adequately could be costly. Efficiency & work quality could suffer, potentially leading to unnecessary rework, repairs & replacement of materials. Delays could also trigger fines & performance penalties.
  • Most importantly, inadequate training exposed the company to unacceptable risks. Putting poorly trained employees on a construction job could jeopardize their safety as well as the safety of teammates & future users of completed projects.
Solution
The company called in Aptech to assess the situation & address all aspects of the challenge.

Aptech’s solution, which was delivered on schedule, met client expectations by providing:

  • Global 24/7 access to courseware: To leverage the skills of the client’s limited staff of instructors, Aptech helped the company launch an e-learning initiative that augments traditional training methods.
  • Faster content development: With Aptech’s project management expertise & innovative approach to content sourcing, the company was able to dramatically shorten the development cycle for new content
  • Higher quality courses: Aptech distilled the best material from the best resources & crafted instructionally sound, highly-interactive courses. Each course was carefully aligned with the client’s goals & values.
