Redkite PDS Modules Redkite PDS is modular in design with each module seamlessly integrating with all other modules. All modules are web based and can accessed by authorised users from any location at any time. PDS Tracker and PDS Course Management System can be supplied as stand-alone systems, if required.

PDS Course Management System The PDS Course Management System handles all types and aspects of training events: courses, venues, rooms, catering, resources, trainers, waiting lists, nominees and delegates, joining instructions and post course evaluations. Short and long events and events running on non-consecutive days can be managed. An on-line prospectus allows authorised personnel to nominate delegates. Training events can be mapped to role requirements for delegates using PDS Tracker. A training needs analysis can also be run against role profiles to establish what future training events need to be provided. Copious management reports output to Excel for further manipulation make this a very flexible management tool.

PDS CBT Delivery Module

This module can be used to deliver any type of training or learning material. Being web based learners can access material from any location at any time. Usage is recorded against individual learning profiles. Resources linked to PDS Question Master will launch an associated on-line assessment to assess learning. The assessment will be marked, scored and recorded in PDS Tracker. Successful completion can often avoid the need to attend formal refresher training.

PDS Certificate & License Manager

When pre-determined training or competence objectives have been achieved the module will allow the requisite certificate or license to be printed. Competence held or operating areas licensed can be printed on the reverse. A bar code can be printed on the certificate / license to allow for authentication using barcode reader. The module manages duplicates and renewals.
