Netop Learning Center Delivers E-Learning Results
At businesses throughout the Nordic Region, the Netop Learning Center has become the preferred platform for e-learning. At JYSK Corporation, the Netop Learning center helps the company deal with massive global growth by providing an on-line employee training program with effective and measurable results. And at the TORM shipping company, the Netop Learning Center has taken the company to the leading edge of electronic competency development and knowledge sharing through an on-line training program that can be delivered to crewmembers anywhere in the world.
Netop Learning Center boosts effective training at JYSK
The Danish business man, Lars Larsen, opened his first bedding shop in 1979, and since then the JYSK empire has grown to a global group with shops in 26 different countries and a staff of nearly 12,000. As a result of massive global growth, JYSK has acknowledged its acute need to have effective and measurable control over its employee training program. E-learning has become one of the preferred training methods within the company.
"Before we used traditional methods to train our employees. We had a mobile team of skilled trainers that drove out to our employees and trained them up in the new systems and products. We didn't have a centralized system for the training, which made the process even more cumbersome. Later, we changed to e-learning, but with our old system it wasn't possible to follow up on completed courses and, as a result, we had no precise data that could tell us whether the trianing had any value."
A year ago, the company decided to optimize the training process even further and, after a long and thorough testing process, Netop Learning Center was chosen.
"Out of the many products that we tested, there was no doubt that Netop Learning Center was the right choice for us. We had a list of tough specifications regarding availability and usability that needed to be within a simple and straightforward design, and these requirements were met by Netop Learning Center."
JYSK saves time and resources with the Netop Learning Center
The Netop Learning Center works as a central education system for JYSK's shop assistants, with the main focus on IT system training and new products. With the Netop Learning Center, JYSK can also continuously keep itself informed on who has completed courses and what the results were. Using the Netop Learning Center eases the training workflow and frees up resources at JYSK, and that is good for business.
"Netop Learning Center allows us to quickly find out who needs training and who needs to be refreshed on our different systems. This means we can be quicker at strengthening the competencies of our employees and, not least, save money."

Life at sea runs more smoothly with Netop Learning Center
More than 1,250 crewmembers of the Danish shipping company, Torm, now have access to essential training and certification documentation through an Internet-based employee portal developed using the Netop Learning Center.
Life as a crewmember on one of Torm's vessels is full of exciting experiences. On the oceans, there are new challenges to surmount each day. But for life at sea to run smoothly, it is crucial that crewmembers' personal documents are properly organized and updated - from vaccination certificates to evidence of vocational test and training. In the past, whenever crewmembers could not present valid and up-to-date certificates, an official notation was made, and this could be risky for the crew as well as the shipping company itself.
"TORM’s employees do not just have to show valid personal documents and certificates. They must also be able to document them anytime, so that they can easily check whether or not they have already acquired the right professional training on safety, terrorist prevention, and cargo handling, for example. Previously, these competencies had to be obtained and developed while the crew was on vacation, but the employee portal competence area now makes it possible for crewmembers to take the required courses online—regardless of where in the world they are physically located."
Online competence development and revolutionary crew evaluation
TORM’s electronic employee portal was developed by Green-Jakobsen A/S, a Danish consulting firm, which specializes in the development of web-based portals for the maritime world based on the Netop Learning Center.
"Netop Learning Center gives us the possibility to take TORM to the leading edge of development through electronic competency development and knowledge sharing. The program is both user-friendly and easy to access, and the security is absolutely excellent."
The portal is also the electronic basis for a completely new evaluation system that TORM has just established for off-signing officers. It involves the Captain, the First Officer, the Chief Engineer, and the First Engineer. The off-signing officer will make a self-assessment, and the three other officers in the team will also assess him at the same time. TORM has developed a completely new evaluation form for the portal, which makes it possible for the concerned individuals to make an objective assessment based on previously agreed criteria
