KeyTran FAQ's. What is said and what is real.
Q. Does KeyTrain Address Low Level, Low Skilled Individuals?
A. In addition to having the best high level WorkKeys® instructional materials available, KeyTrain does indeed have courseware to address low performing individuals. In fact our low level materials are the most comprehensive and effective Pre-WorkKeys materials on the market today. We combine the most engaging beginning level curriculum available, with our exclusive “RealHumanSM Voice” audio. This powerful combination means that comprehension and retention increases dramatically. Studies prove that synthetic speech can cause confusion and reduced engagement by learners. Comprehensive material for all audiences combined with “RealHuman Voice” make KeyTrain unbeatable.
Q. Isn’t KeyTrain really just “test prep” material?
A. “Test Prep” sure does have a negative connotation to it doesn’t it? After all, who wants their students to merely prep for a test? Wouldn’t you rather have them master the skills? Of course you would. Saying that KeyTrain is “test prep” for WorkKeys demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding about WorkKeys. WorkKeys is a series of “applied academic” assessments. “Test Prep” implies drill and memorization. Drill and memorization will not help an individual perform on an applied assessment. It is imperative that learners gain sufficient knowledge and fully understand how that knowledge should be used in a variety of situations. That is applying knowledge. KeyTrain’s results speak for themselves. KeyTrain learners consistently out-perform all others in their WorkKeys scores.
Q. Does KeyTrain have “gaps” in the curriculum?
A. Who would want a curriculum with gaps in it? Not me, or you either I suspect. ACT® is the sole decision maker on this point. In fact, years ago ACT established a program to insure curriculum marketed for WorkKeys met their high standards. It took hard work and commitment on our part, but KeyTrain was the first curriculum to be fully approved as meeting the WorkKeys Standards. For 18 months, we remained the only curriculum to be fully approved. Do you think ACT would approve something with “gaps”? As the proven leader in the field, do you think we would sit idly by with “gaps” in our curriculum? No way. Not today, not ever.
Q. Does KeyTrain have good Tech Support?
A. Well this one’s easy enough to test. KeyTrain has 24/7 tech support via a toll free number. 24, means 24 hours a day, 7, means 7 days a week. Problems are rare, but when they’re your problems, they’re huge. Our goal is to have a solution to any problem within 15 minutes. No answering machines…real people ready to help you…all hours, any day. Pick up the phone and try it right now!
Q. Can KeyTrain be updated very frequently if you use “RealHumanTM Voice”?
A. While it is true that it is harder to update the content, because it requires time and money to have professional talent record new audio. The fact is, when your content meets the standards and is the most effective available, you don’t need frequent changes. The benefits of our “RealHuman SM Voice” technology are undeniable in the learning process. When changes are indeed warranted, KeyTrain is willing to spend the money to insure our customers have the best tool to help their learners.
As alway, the proof is in the pudding. Look for yourself. Ask questions. Ask for results. KeyTrain - The Premier Curriculum Solution for WorkKeys
