The PDC: A New Approach to Training and Development
Decades of research have clearly shown that lecture-style instruction is one of the least effective methods of delivering information. So why are technology training plans still evaluated in terms of on-site hours and classroom instruction? We have done away with traditional models in favor of a self-paced, multimedia methodology that will get your staff up to speed and keep them moving forward in the years to come.

What am I getting?
With Skyward's PDC, you're not just getting software training, you're getting the cornerstone for your entire professional development culture.
Quick Start courses are built to get your staff up to speed in the areas they need to know to perform their duties.
Specialty and Mastery
courses provide deeper levels of information for your power users and internal trainers.
The module certification option ensures that you have people on your team whose level of knowledge is on par with a typical Skyward support specialist.
*New*
with Qmlativ: Digital badging aligned with Open Badges standards provides permanent proof of achievement for users in every role. It gives your people something to aspire to - a reason to become more efficient and productive in their use of technology.
