Hammond Power Solutions Expands Training Program with BlueVolt Learning Management System
BlueVolt, the leading provider of online Learning Management Systems (LMS) for the construction, manufacturing and service industries, is pleased to announce the launch of HPS Academy, Hammond Power Solutions’ (HPS) online training university.
HPS Academy, powered by BlueVolt, provides self-driven courses that range from basic electricity and transformer fundamentals to Hammond Power Solutions’ product information and applications. University courses are accessible to HPS employees, as well as external learners such as sales reps, distributors, consultants and engineers.
Established in 1917, HPS is a leader in the design and manufacture of high-quality, custom electrical dry-type transformers and related engineered magnetic devices. The company is also a significant producer of standard electrical products that are built to industry-wide specifications.
“Offering training courses through BlueVolt’s learning management system makes us the go-to resource for industry professionals to learn about electrical transformers and related devices,” said Karen Witzel, Hammond Power Solutions’ marketing support specialist. “As we continue to grow, our University can seamlessly grow with us thanks to BlueVolt’s robust online learning features.”
HPS Academy administrators organize users through group management, allowing learners access to the courses that fit their various training needs. BlueVolt’s powerful reporting features provide administrators with comprehensive summaries at the university, group and course level.
“In the past, HPS’s training program had limited reporting capabilities and features,” said Lisa Bordeaux, director of sales for BlueVolt. “Since switching over to BlueVolt’s learning management system, they now have a vast library of courses and supplemental features available to a larger audience of internal and external users.”
