Hertfordshire, 22nd November 2006: AccessAcademy announces record sales of their innovative RapidLearn modules since its launch earlier this year. The number of clients using AccessAcademy's RapidLearn Service is growing faster than predicted as forward thinking businesses realise the value of incorporating RapidLearn into their workforce learning and development programmes. The company has seen a dramatic increase in the number of clients requesting the RapidLearn service to convert existing paper based training material to flexible, dynamic online training modules.

'A number of clients who had dismissed elearning as too expensive and time consuming, or who were unsure whether it was right for their business began with a Rapidlearn pilot module to test how it would work within their organisation' said Blended Learning Specialist Odelia Zucker from AccessAcademy. 'This low investment route gave them the opportunity to test the concept and get initial feedback from users. A 100% of all clients who have chosen this route have now came back to us requesting further modules to be converted - they have been so delighted with the results. The speed of deployment is clearly a key factor in the take up of our Rapidlearn service. With sales cycles shortening, tactical responses to changes in the market place required today not tomorrow and rapid staff turn-over, the need to produce support materials and develop higher performance in shorter time scales is crucial'.

Paul Chamberlain, Technical Director. Solgar Vitamins and Herb, UK said 'We wanted to create a web-based tool to deliver an existing paper-based correspondence training course to our customers around the UK. The team at Access Academy took the time to understand our specific needs and requirements and delivered a working prototype of our training course based on their RapidLearn software. The service has been fast and efficient, but most importantly the solution provided fits in with our requirements perfectly'.

Another satisfied client is Richard Wade, IT Trainer, HR Learning and Development at London based Atisreal Limited the Real Estate Consultancy arm of BNP Paribas Real Estate. 'I have found Access Academy to be excellent partners to work with in building effective and stimulating elearning solutions'.
