The challenge<\/h2>\n

In a dynamic industry such as aviation, RO-RA required a training solution that was effective, flexible, and scalable. Traditional training methods had begun to show their limitations, particularly in offering employees easy access to learning materials and maintaining an efficient administrative workflow. Employees, especially younger generations, were asking for more accessible online learning that could be used anytime and anywhere.<\/p>\n

RO-RA also faced challenges with isolated systems for training and workforce management. While training content was being delivered through one platform, managing the entire process\u2014from enrolment to reporting\u2014required multiple tools. This fragmented approach meant administrators were spending excessive time on manual tasks, and learners were not experiencing the cohesive training environment they wanted.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/h2>\n

RO-RA Aviation\u2019s decision to integrate Totara with CORE smartwork, an employee app, provided an effective solution to these challenges. The integration, implemented by LearnChamp, allowed RO-RA to maintain CORE smartwork as the main administrative hub while using Totara\u2019s learning management features. Employees could access Totara directly through CORE smartwork without leaving the platform they were familiar with, creating a consistent user experience.<\/p>\n

1. A unified training experience<\/h3>\n

With CORE smartwork managing user administration and Totara delivering the learning content, employees experienced a smooth transition between systems. The visual design alignment ensured that the shift to Totara felt natural, and users stayed connected to the familiar CORE smartwork interface.<\/p>\n

2. Flexible and scalable learning<\/h3>\n

Totara\u2019s flexibility enables RO-RA to expand its training programmes as the company grows. Whether adding new courses, creating tailored learning paths, or incorporating interactive modules, Totara allows RO-RA to respond quickly to changing training requirements.<\/p>\n

3. Efficient administrative processes<\/h3>\n

The integration streamlined administrative processes by synchronising user and organisational data across both platforms through Totara\u2019s GraphQL. This removed the need for manual updates and ensured course enrolment, reporting, and learner progress tracking were automated, saving time and reducing errors.<\/p>\n

4. Personalised learning paths, notifications and navigation<\/h3>\n

By integrating multiple APIs between CORE smartwork and Totara, RO-RA created personalised learning paths, notifications, and navigation tools that aligned with the specific needs of its workforce. These APIs enabled real-time synchronisation of learning content, ensuring that employees could easily access relevant training, updates, and notifications based on their roles. This provided a consistent, user-friendly experience that led to higher engagement and improved learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

5. Advanced reporting and analytics<\/h3>\n

The integration provided RO-RA with detailed insights into learner progress and engagement. Advanced reporting capabilities help administrators and managers track key performance indicators such as course completion rates, engagement levels, and performance across modules. These analytics allow RO-RA to refine its training programmes continually and ensure they meet desired outcomes.<\/p>\n

The results<\/h2>\n

The partnership between RO-RA Aviation and LearnChamp, along with the integration of Totara and CORE smartwork, has delivered significant improvements across training and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

1. Improved learning accessibility<\/h3>\n

With training now available anytime and anywhere through Totara\u2019s LMS, employees achieved a 98% engagement rate with learning materials. This flexibility has been particularly valued by younger employees, who prefer learning at their own pace.<\/p>\n

2. Streamlined administrative workflows<\/h3>\n

Integrating CORE smartwork with Totara eliminated inefficiencies caused by managing multiple platforms. The synchronisation of data between systems reduced manual work and created a smoother experience for both administrators and learners, cutting administrative effort by more than 50% compared with previous processes.<\/p>\n

3. Enhanced learning outcomes<\/h3>\n

Personalised learning paths enabled employees to focus on training relevant to their roles. As a result, RO-RA has seen higher completion rates and increased engagement in training programmes. The ability to track learner progress has also ensured that content remains current and aligned with business needs.<\/p>\n

To elevate its employee learning experience and <\/span>optimize<\/span> internal processes, RO-RA implemented Totara\u2019s powerful LMS alongside the robust CORE <\/span>smartwork<\/span> platform. With <\/span>LearnChamp<\/span> as a trusted partner, RO-RA created an integrated, scalable, and user-friendly training environment tailored to the needs of its diverse workforce.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
