CARES has the following features.
Engaging, multimedia format.
The program is media rich and truly interactive. Users respond to situations, make choices, watch video clips, and become actively involved in the material – a very effective way to learn and remember information.
Extremely user-friendly.
Staff members without computer experience find the program very easy to use.
Available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Staff can use the program on their own and at their own pace. It is also very convenient for training evening staff.
Easy to stop and start again.
The program tracks user progress so staff can stop and exit at any time and come back right where they left off – convenient for short chunks of training time and interruptions.
Appropriate for classroom training too.
The many video clips and interactions provide excellent examples and support to instructor-led sessions.
Can be used over and over.
Staff can revisit the program at any time to renew their skills.
Administrative tracking.
Track the progress of each user individually and review progress.
Purchase online with Visa or electronic check.
You can also generate an invoice if needed for pre-approval by your Accounting/Finance Department.
Program Requirements
Our training program makes use of video (movies) and audio (sound). This typically requires a high-speed (DSL/Cable/T1/T3) connection to the Internet. If you are using the training program from work, it is likely that you are using a high-speed Internet connection. If you are using the training program from home and need to reconnect to the Internet each time you use it, you probably have a dial-up connection to the Internet and you may experience longer wait times and delays to load the audio and video. A high-speed connection is recommended for the CARES program, but a dial-up connection will function.
