In short

What is eBrigade’s Training module?

Training catalogue, sessions, refreshers, diplomas and FMA (continuing training), with automatically generated PDF certificates and alerts before expiry. Includes a gamified quiz engine (points, badges) and a video e-learning pathway with graded quizzes, anti-cheating and certificates with a unique reference. It is included at no extra cost in every eBrigade plan.

The problem

Why use the Training module?

Tracking each staff member’s training by hand means juggling paper certificates, refresher dates that fall due without warning and diplomas that can’t be found when an inspection comes. For organisations with dozens of regulatory qualifications (SSIAP, PSE, CACES, FMA...), the lack of a dedicated tool leads to non-compliance that can hold up operations. And building up your teams’ skills or keeping their knowledge fresh without an integrated platform means costly external tools disconnected from HR records.

What changes

What the Training module changes in eBrigade

The training catalogue, scheduled sessions, results per participant and refresher dates are centralised in eBrigade. Certificates and diplomas are generated automatically when each session is closed, and alerts warn you before each expiry. The Online quiz engine sends out illustrated multiple-choice questions at a configurable frequency and awards points and badges automatically to keep knowledge fresh. The initial training (e-learning) pathway strings together video modules and graded quizzes, with anti-cheating and a certificate with a unique reference on completion. In an audit, each staff member’s qualification status can be checked in one click.

Features

What you can do with Training

Catalogue, sessions and automatic diplomas

Create your courses, refreshers and qualifications with their validity period, schedule sessions with a date, venue and trainer, and manage sign-ups. When a session is closed, PDF certificates and diplomas are generated automatically and attached to the staff member’s record.

Qualification tracking and expiry alerts

Each staff member has a qualification portfolio (dates obtained and expiry dates, diplomas generated as PDFs). Alerts notify you before each deadline, and a dashboard shows who is up to date, who is nearing expiry and who has lapsed.

Illustrated, configurable online quiz

Send out illustrated multiple-choice questions organised into reusable quizzes that can be linked to skills. You set the number of questions per session and how often they are sent; a dashboard widget presents the questions at login, with the option to postpone a session.

Points and badges (gamification)

Each question is worth a number of points; accumulated points automatically trigger the award of custom badges at thresholds you define. The badge earned can be overlaid on the staff member’s photo to recognise their commitment.

Initial e-learning training with anti-cheating

Sequence video modules (local file, YouTube or URL) with tracking of the percentage watched, followed by graded quizzes with four question types (multiple choice, true/false, free text, put in order). Minimum score, attempt limit and anti-cheating (detection of copy-paste, tab switching, loss of focus) are configurable, with logging or blocking.

Certificates and statistics

Once all modules are completed, a certificate is generated bearing a unique reference (SHA-256 fingerprint). Dashboards show participants, sessions, average score, number certified and detailed results per staff member, and rights are controlled through granular clearances.

How it works

Step by step

1
Set up your training catalogue

Create your courses with their validity periods, refresher intervals and associated documents (FMA, certificates, diplomas). Each qualification is linked to the members concerned from their record.

2
Schedule sessions and record results

Open a training session, assign participants and record the results at the end. PDF certificates and diplomas are generated automatically and attached to the member’s record.

3
Engage your teams with the online quiz

Build illustrated multiple-choice questions organised into reusable quizzes, set how often they are sent (every X hours or X days) and the number of questions per session. A widget shown at login presents the questions; points and badges are awarded automatically based on scores.

4
Roll out an e-learning pathway with certification

Sequence initial training modules made up of videos and graded quizzes (multiple choice, true/false, free text, put in order). Set the minimum score, the attempt limit and anti-cheating; a certificate bearing a unique reference (SHA-256 fingerprint) is generated on completion.

5
Get alerts before refreshers expire

eBrigade automatically calculates refresher dates and triggers alerts before they fall due. During an audit, each staff member’s qualification status can be checked in one click.

Keeping knowledge fresh: gamified multiple-choice quizzes (points and badges) to maintain your teams’ knowledge on an ongoing basis.

Onboarding & internal e-learning: sequenced video pathways with graded quizzes, anti-cheating and a certificate with a unique reference at the end.

Module FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can refreshers and time-limited qualifications, such as PSE1/PSE2 or SSIAP training, be managed?

Yes. Each course can have a defined validity period. The module automatically tracks expiry dates and alerts the training manager before the deadline, for each staff member concerned.

Where are a staff member’s certificates and diplomas kept?

Diplomas issued by eBrigade are generated as PDFs from the course and remain available from the staff member’s record. An external certificate or a scanned diploma can be uploaded to the Documents tab of that same record.

How does the Online quiz module (continuing training) work?

You create illustrated multiple-choice questions, organised into reusable quizzes that the same question can belong to, and that can be linked to skills. You set the number of questions per session and how often they are sent (every X hours or X days). Questions appear in a widget at login, which the user can postpone but not skip, and a Results view gives statistics per quiz and scores per user.

How do points and badges work?

Each question is worth a number of points that you define. The points a staff member accumulates automatically trigger the award of custom badges linked to thresholds. You upload the image for each badge, and the badge earned can be overlaid on the staff member’s photo to keep up engagement.

Does initial e-learning training support graded quizzes and certificates?

Yes. You build sequenced modules combining videos (local file, YouTube or URL, with viewing tracked) and quizzes with four question types (multiple choice, true/false, free text, put in order). You set the minimum pass score and the attempt limit. Once all modules are completed, a certificate is generated bearing a unique reference (SHA-256 fingerprint).

Is there an anti-cheating system during e-learning quizzes?

Yes. The module can detect copy-paste, tab switching and the window losing focus during a quiz. You choose the response: simply logging incidents, or blocking the quiz on detection. Administrators have a log viewer (date, staff member, type, details).
