Modalities


Courses offered by Insiders Akademie

Insiders Akademie runs various different types of courses. The modalities applicable in each case depend on the type of course chosen.  There are the four following types of courses.

Standard training

Standard training courses are courses with standardized content at fixed times that are carried out live by an Insiders Akademie trainer. They may be implemented as face-to-face training courses at our training center in Kaiserslautern or online. Depending on the course, they last 1-3 days.

The content of the standard training course is presented with the aid of practical demonstrations in the system, and your individual questions are answered live. Everything you have learned is used and explored in more depth in numerous practical exercises during the training.

The dates for standard training courses are open to interested parties from all customers and partners. You take part in the course together with participants from other companies.

Each standard training course can be carried out exclusively for your company as face-to-face training at the Insiders Akademie or on your premises, or as an online training course.

Web lesson

A web lesson is a 60 to 90-minute online training session that is carried out at fixed times using conferencing software. The content of the web lesson is presented live and explored in more detail with the aid of practical demonstrations in the system.

The dates for web lessons are open to interested parties from all customers and partners. You take part in the course together with participants from other companies.

Each web lesson can be carried out exclusively for your company.

E-learning

An e-learning course is an online course with no fixed time or location; you work on the content independently. The content is presented using videos, screenshots, images, texts and interactive elements. The integrated quiz questions and test scenarios help you to test and consolidate what you have learned.

We recommend that you use a PC to take part in our e-learning courses. It is technically possible to take part using a tablet or smartphone. However, as the software simulations contained in the courses are designed to be operated with a keyboard and a mouse, we advise against taking part via mobile end devices.

Customized training

A customized training course is a course designed in line with your particular needs that is implemented as a face-to-face training course at the Insiders Akademie/on your premises or as online training.

Each customized training course is carried out exclusively for your company.


Registration on the learning platform

To enroll on a course, it is necessary to register on the learning platform www.insiders-akademie.de. This applies to all types of courses. It is only possible to register as a person and not for a company or a department.

On registration, you create a personal, password-protected account for our learning platform. This account cannot be transferred to another person. Your access data must not be passed on to a third person.

When you register, enter the name of your company, a title, your first and last name and your business e-mail address. You will receive a registration confirmation by e-mail. After registering, you are initially logged in to the platform as a guest.

Using your e-mail address, a check is automatically carried out to determine whether you are already listed as a contact person in our CRM system. If this is not the case the registration is activated by the Insiders Akademie team. You can enroll for courses as soon as your registration has been activated. You will receive a system message on the learning platform and via e-mail informing you of the activation.
