What’s important:
- Courses written for a 6th-8th grade reading level
- Available in English and Spanish (you can toggle back and forth)
- Audio voiceover narration
- Easy navigation and NO SCROLLING
- Continuing Education contact hours for nurses and administrators
The Tools to Stay Ahead of Regulatory Changes
With training, it’s important to keep up with constantly-changing federal and state regulations. Having the confidence that you courses will be updated automatically as regulations change is critical. With Silverchair, your course updates and expansions (new courses covering new topics) are automatic. Our Clinical Consulting team monitors all state and federal regulations, so you stay ahead of changes and can easily adapt training as needed.
All course updates and expansions are included in your eLearning system and are provided as needed. Additional curricula (from SLS and its content partners) are available for purchase.
Course Flexibility
Silverchair also offers the ultimate in training flexibility—course customization. Clients customize courses to meet training requirements unique to their organization, incorporating policies, procedures, key personnel, and environmental factors. Customization can target needs of specific facilities within an organization, or needs of various groups of learners within the organization. Available at no extra charge.
