Why Lifetime Course Access?

When EzyLearn operated it's physical training centres in Sydney's Dee Why, Gordon, Parramatta and Lane Cove we offered short courses which ran once a week (usually for 3 hours max because the human brain cannot absorb much more) over 3 weeks. We offered free repeats for as many times as someone needed within 12 months and we did it because students wanted it.
Reasons for FREE Course Repeats
The most common reasons for wanting free course repeats were:
- Not being able to attend one of the three training sessions
- Not needing all of the skills right now
- Want to go over and review more complicated features
When EzyLearn closed it's last training centre in 2006 we already had our training course material online and we thought long and hard about how we can make a difference being an online only course provider. Read about the EzyLearn story here..
Beginners to Advanced Courses All Included
One of the decisions we made was to provide students with everything we have - all content for a particular software program. That means:
- Beginners to Advanced level courses,
- Every version of the software (because not everyone upgrades instantly)
A great example of where people use all sorts of different versions is Microsoft Excel where most of the functionality is very similar between versions so people don't upgrade unless they REALLY need to. Even MYOB accounting software has different versions and unless companies used the Payroll functionality they tended to try and keep their money in their pocket rather than give it to MYOB, so our MYOB training courses include two courses in the older versions (19.5 and earlier).
LIFETIME Training Course Access
EzyLearn creates it's own training course materials and manages it's own "University Grade" learning management system and because all of our team work from their own homes using online collaboration tools we can be responsive and efficient. The greatest benefit is that we are able to provide a lifetime course access option!
One of the biggest challenges for LIFETIME course access for us is cloud-based programs like Xero Accounting because it is constantly being updated and those updates go live regularly.Unlike most installed MYOB software Xero Accounting clients get product updates regularly.
Because we are creating and updating all of our training materials all of the time we are thrilled to be challenged by the regularly improving software we teach in our Xero Training Courses.
