Brandon Hall Group Awards Aviation Institute of Maintenance and Fulcrum Labs 2017 Excellence in Learning Award
LOS ANGELES, September 14, 2017 (Newswire.com) - The Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) and Fulcrum Labs have won this year’s Brandon Hall Group Silver award for excellence in the Best Results of a Learning Program category.
This award was presented to AIM and Fulcrum Labs for their Professional Aviation Maintenance learning program. The program was designed to prepare AIM learners to succeed within the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) aircraft mechanic certifications. The online test preparation course prepares AIM’s 3,500 active students, as well as countless military and civilian aircraft maintainers, for FAA certification. As a result of this program, AIM was able to improve its student pass rates from 79 percent to 90 percent.
Leveraging the Fulcrum Labs technology to deliver this program has been great for our business, but more importantly, it has been incredibly impactful for our students, who now have greater confidence and a better chance of passing these critical exams.
Joel English, VP of Aviation Institute of Maintenance
“For aircraft mechanics, passing the FAA Aircraft Mechanic Certifications is a make-or-break situation. It takes intense time, confidence-building, and preparation to prepare for FAA certification, and the financial stakes for students are significant,” said Joel English, VP of Aviation Institute of Maintenance. “Leveraging the Fulcrum Labs technology to deliver this program has been great for our business, but more importantly, it has been incredibly impactful for our students, who now have greater confidence and a better chance of passing these critical exams.”
Fulcrum Labs is an adaptive, personalized learning technology that is designed to increase application of knowledge and turbocharge an existing LMS/HRMS to deliver quantifiable, verifiable mastery. This year’s honor marks Fulcrum Labs’ third Brandon Hall Group Award win.
“Excellence Award winners symbolize the power and impact that Human Capital Management practices can have on a business or on any organization,” said Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. “Many organizations can have great HCM initiatives, but the standard of excellence only applies for organizations whose HCM practices truly benefit the business. That’s what the Excellence Awards program stands for, and that is what Brandon Hall Group stands for.”
The award entries were evaluated by a panel of independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measureable benefits.
