E-learnings

What is an e-learning module?

Our e-learning modules enable you to access training at any time and from anywhere (24/7 on demand). They are designed to be interactive and last between 10 and 60 minutes. Once you have completed an e-learning module, you can download the detailed learning materials (bibliography, transcript, flashcards).

To complete an e-learning module, you’ll need a desktop, laptop or mobile device plus a stable internet connection.

You’ll need an active PRO Account. Log into the uk.pro-academy.net website, choose an e-learning module and off you go.

Can I repeat an e-learning module several times?

Yes, you can do an e-learning module as many times as you want to consolidate what you have learned.

Do I get participation certificates for all e-learning modules?

What are speaker transcripts?

Once you have successfully completed an e-learning module, the spoken text will be available for you to download.

What are flashcards and why do I need them?

Flashcards summarise important topics and questions from the respective course. You can return to the content and consolidate it in your mind in the form of a question-answer game at any time. This means that the micronutrient knowledge you gain will also always be available offline for you.

When will I get my flashcards?

Once you complete a webinar or e-learning module, you’ll be able to download and print the flashcards immediately.

How do I fold my printed flashcards correctly?

Print the download sheet onto an A4 sheet, cut it along the dashed line and fold each strip in half. The writing should show on the outside. This will enable you to collect personal flashcards and regularly review what you have learned.
