For nearly a quarter century, companies around the world have used Vital Learning training solutions to enhance the performance and productivity of a broad range of employees - from entry-level personnel to Senior Managers.

Our focus is on the core skills that really matter, and on the training methods that really work. As a result, there is no "leap of faith" when a Vital solution is introduced into an organization.

Participants see the relevance of the training, rapidly acquire the skills, and quickly put them to use on the job. We call it "Instant ROI" - our customers call it time and money well invested.

Which programs are offered online?
Currently, we offer 12 Leadership courses online. We are in the process of updating all of our Leadership courses and we are migrating all of that new material to the online environment. We also have two Customer Service courses, one Sales course, and five Productivity courses available online. All of our online courses can be used stand-alone or as part of a blended learning solution.

How much does the training cost?
That depends, as some courses cost less than others. Contact us for pricing once you know what you need.

How long are the programs?
The course length can vary from 4 hours to 2 days, depending on the program. Many of our Leadership courses are 1/2 day modules, and even our longer courses can be delivered in a modular format. For detailed information about a specific course, please ask your sales representative.

Do I need certification to deliver this training?
No. We build the value into our materials rather than expect the trainer to "fill in the blanks." We design our training so that it's easy for trainers to self-study our courses and deliver great results without the need for costly and time-consuming certification. Our Administrative Kit contains all of the training process steps and information required to deliver our courses with confidence and quality. The only exception to our "no certification" approach is Customer Oriented Selling, because it contains some exercises, unique to that workshop, that can be a challenge for an inexperienced trainer.

What is included in the facilitator kits?
All materials needed to run the workshop. Our customers tell us that our easy-to-use facilitator materials deliver great value! The Administrative Kit contains complete, detailed instructions on how to run the workshop, including what the trainer needs to say and expected responses from participants. The kit also includes a copy of the participant materials, sample trainer narrative, transcripts of video segments, and a VHS tape or DVD with course video. Also included is a data CD with PowerPoint slides and all forms from the course with permission to duplicate.
