February 2001 saw the launch of online training company, Absolutely Training(www.absolutelytraining.com),which claims to be the first online training firm to offer professional regulatory training exams for the financial sector.
The site is designed to be highly interactive. As Lisa Clement, Business Development Director for Absolutely Training says: "We are offering an active learning experience rather than a passive one. We do not post training slides onto a Web site and expect students to learn from them. Instead, we teach a subject, then give students the opportunity to demonstrate to us that they have understood it. This happens through a wide selection of tests and quizzes run by a self-generating and ever-changing database.
In addition to the exam courses, Absolutely Training offers a comprehensive"just in time" training database. This can sit on a company's intranet,or be accessed via the Internet, and acts as an encyclopedia of information for the financial services industry. Should you need knowledge on a certain subject,a quick click to a "just in time" topic page can reveal the most up-to-date information to any specified level of depth.
