App 16/60: Training Catalog

Simitless helps mentors and coaches develop their activity by enabling them to set up a clear and up-to-date courses catalog.

If you are a mentor, a coach, or maybe even part of a team of coaches and/or trainers, then this article is for you. Passionate about your subject and eager to transmit your knowledge, you are not simply competent but provide the best possible training in your field. Unfortunately, the major problem you encounter organizing and running your trainings, is that the materials for your courses, as well as the courses themselves, are all over the place. The situation is even worse for those among you, who form a team of coaches and mentors and, thus, effectively act as a sort of educational organization. In this latter case, you no longer know who can host which training session and who exactly has a training session all ready to run. Surely, advertising and hosting your training sessions under these conditions gets next to impossible. A clear, up-to-date and straightforward training and mentorship offer, on the other hand, not only ensures your customers' satisfaction but drives even more business your way by encouraging a word of mouth promotion and spurring on the organic development of your activities.

 

This is when Simitless becomes indispensable for your immediate business and organization need, as it offers you a simple, yet powerful template to base your own training catalog management application off of. Consult the application template, then click the " Use this model" button to create your own copy of the app. Simitless is a system that adapts to your needs. Plus, it is risk-free. To save your progress, think of creating an account by following the instructions on the green buttons! Once you finish setting up your app, invite your co-workers to start working on the app together. ( Edit App Access rights)

To set up a catalog of courses for your team, ask each of your colleagues to create an entry for each course they are willing to teach. It is very possible that the way you want to organize your trainings’ catalog differs from the proposed structure - an absolutely sound wish, by the way, as you and your practices are unique, and that makes all the difference. If that is the case, modify the structure of the training catalog to match your needs, by adding categories, for example. ( Edit app Edit data types)

 

The newly created database of courses allows you to maintain an up-to-date catalog of the trainings you are ready to organize and host in a centralized way. Moreover, you can group certain sessions into subsets within your catalog, allowing for a more effective marketing and/or communication campaign.

And Simitless allows you to go even further. Using our print layout system, you can print a promotional brochure for each training you offer, as well as print a brochure listing all relevant trainings for a specific theme. To do that, simply define the layout of the brochure in the data type settings of your application, select the courses and use the “Grouped Actions Tool” to print or to generate a "Print in a PDF" popup window, based on your selection. Repeat the operation as many times as necessary to publish all the catalog versions you need.
