Consider your business goal related to employee competence
- To deliver the maximum level of competence throughout the team consistent with the financial capacity of the organisation.
How does Sofema Online (SOL) www.sofemaonline.com make a difference?
Steve Bentley CEO of Sofema explains “We took a long hard look at the Regulatory Compliance & Vocational Training carried out within typical aviation companies – Operational, CAMO, AMO, etc and in general we find the following outcomes:
- Anything that is identified as mandatory training by EASA or an EU Competent Authority (CA) is of course carried out.
- Other courses are treated often in an “Ad-hoc” manner – driven by a specific need for example following a regulatory finding during an audit.
- For additional training, the cost is a major consideration with a clear path to Return on Investment (ROI) not clear (However this changes when courses head below 10 Euro / Per Person Per Day!)
OK, I am interested, show me the financials – Please see the following link to an XL Case Study in this example within a Part 145 Organisation:
https://sassofia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Sample_Part_145_Organisation_Sept_2021.xlsx
Do we agree that Competent employees are more productive – I suggest yes! So what is the barrier?
The primary barrier is typically related to budgetary considerations – for example, sending a single person to a 2-Day regulatory course in Amsterdam or London can cost approx. 2000 euros including Hotac & Travel.
So what is the Answer?
To create an environment where cost becomes a minor consideration rather than a driver!
With course costs coming down below 10 Euros / Person Per Day – Cost is no longer an issue for the organisation that is focused on building workplace competence.
Sofema Online has built a training portfolio of over 250 courses available online – Please see our current available program Here
Without the need to pay daily instructor fees we were able to strip out all unnecessary costs and provide an unrivaled training opportunity to companies. We Call this our Corporate Freedom Pass.
The outcome is that for half the cost of sending a single person to a single 2-day course once each month – we can open up 10 concurrent training slots online – Every Single Day for the duration of the subscription.
What does it mean for the Organisation?
Simply put it means that cost is no longer a barrier and you can expose the entire workforce to a range of training courses that will directly support the employees’ competence and as a result an improved level of engagement.
Sofema Online has seen a fourfold increase in registrations with more than 17000 enrollments since January 2021 – with the Corporate Freedom Pass we expect this to continue to grow and look forward to supporting our Aviation Customers with Cost Effective Regulatory Compliant and Vocational Training.”
