Complete Description
How Some of our Customers Use CQuest Software
Semi-annual and annual ancillary technical training and testing:
Having computerized testing has helped keep personnel current in their training while still preventing possible test compromise that could happen with paper tests.
Certifications
Customers have received immediate positive feedback about the use of a computer based test versus the old fill in the circle type. The multi media capabilities of CQuest have earned training departments recognition for training programs. We have police forces, medical schools, massage schools, construction schools, airlines, food service etc utilizing CQuest in this manner.
Competency testing
We have customers using CQuest for competency testing in their open entry programs. Students are able to progress through the training at their own rate so their retention is better and ultimately have higher scores.
Human Resources
CQuest customers have used our testing software to automate many of the time consuming tasks involved with training of new employees. By putting employee manuals, training manuals, and benefits manuals into the software, they are able to create self guided tutorials that allow the employee to go through the information, while freeing up human resource people to do more important tasks. They are then able to go back and look at the quiz data from the tutorial and know if an employee needs additional help or training in a particular area.
Compliance
Many companies have to meet local, state, and/or federal compliance issues. Whether it is new federal guidelines on investments and 401ks or changes to OSHA guidelines, CQuest is used to prove that employees have been trained and certified to do the position in their given field.
Accountability
With the many guidelines affecting schools now, a key factor has become accountability of the teachers and their teaching methods. The many reporting functions available in the administrator program allow a wide variety of reports and can show strengths and weaknesses within a school.
Tutoring
One of the many software options we have was designed for the home schooled or tutor in mind. Self guided tutorials can be set up to help those who are having a difficult time with a particular subject. Once the tutor creates this, they have it to use at their finger tips for any or all students they tutor in the future.
Whether you are a corporation, consultant, prep school, tutor, teacher, human resources personnel, armed services, student, parent, primary educator, secondary educator, and many more, CQuest Assessment software has a use within your company.
