Aprendio is a dynamic and scaling business and has ultra-expertise in its domain. Mikkel Hansen, CEO & Co-founder with more than 25 years of experience in the industry, explains: "The maritime and renewable energy sectors are rapidly changing – they are vital in enabling the huge ‘green’ transition as they help drive the world’s shift towards a green economy.

The need for additional and highly trained staff has never been greater with millions of new jobs being created globally."

To support the strong demand for better and faster training content, Aprendio needed to find a suitable authoring tool. Key considerations were the fast creation of e-learning content that was easy to distribute to learners anywhere in the world, and ease of accessibility.

Aprendio reviewed many of the leading authoring tools, including imc Express. They found that the market was divided broadly into advanced tools and easy-to-use tools. As their focus is making an impact quickly for their clients’ organisations, Aprendio did not want a complex tool that would take them and their customers a long time to master and use.

“We especially liked the intuitiveness of imc Express and the quality of its output versus other tools.”

In Mikkel’s experience, one of the key factors to ensure a learner’s success is the language.  Therefore, the automatic translation feature of imc Express is a great help for them. Because only if a learner really understands what they learn, they can internalise it, which is highly important especially when it comes to security training on ships.

The other critical element was for diverse, easily accessible content, which imc Express’ video and audio features provide, allowing learners to watch and listen while they practice or learn technical tasks. Mikkel summarises:

“We need to break-down barriers to learning and help people do their jobs well. imc Express allows us to do this.”

imc took the time to acquire a vast collection of research insights and begin a process of sense-making. Through this, the seemingly disconnected begins to take on new forms of service and experience.

This is precisely what happened as we began to explore the three emerging modes of education, exposure and experience. To validate the path we found ourselves on, we mapped what expert participants said we needed, against what end users said they desired, to have the ideal orientation experience.

Where we landed was at the beginning of a robust Learning Experience Framework; capable of not only driving all aspects of the orientation project in question but across the entirety of GCF with strategic foresight.

The Learning Experience Framework is a continuous model of learning and development which embeds opportunities of meaningful experience, exposure and education to occur across all aspects and areas of the Green Climate Fund. The Learning Experience Framework grounds the education components of the orientation by providing clarity and insight into what belongs within it at an organisational level.
