Pricing and LMS Requirements
Pricing
LMS Requirements
Pricing
- Pricing is based on the number of people your agency supports, rather than the number of staff or user accounts you use.
- All of our health and safety eLearns are available for annual licensing for unlimited access by your agency during that time.
- Training or retraining staff due to turnover does not have to be a financial deterrent to licensing our courses. Contact us for a free preview and price quote of any of our eLearn courses.
LMS Requirements
Our interactive eLearns are designed to be hosted on a Learning Management System (LMS).
This is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses. The price of a big-name LMS is sometimes out of reach for a smaller organization.
If your agency does not have access to an LMS, IntellectAbility can provide access to our own for a nominal fee. Contact us for a free preview and price quote of any of our eLearn courses.
