Recently, Weber in collaboration with Beijer has developed the micro-course “Casting with concrete,” which is now available to 1500 employees at Beijer on their mobile devices. The training is voluntary, but just a few days after the launch, nearly 200 people had started the training with good results and positive feedback.

“We have received very positive feedback from those who have completed the course with requests for follow-up physical trainings,” says Anders Ek, who has been involved in developing the training at Weber.

The course also includes an evaluation part where some of the comments have been; “Good information, easy to grasp,” “Easy to perform,” “Clear and good with current examples,” “Good and convenient way to receive information,” “Good training with the right level of difficulty, easy to understand.”

A significant portion of Beijer's employees also state that the course has provided great added value and inspiration, making them feel more confident in giving tips and advice on casting works to the end customer.

“We are currently developing the next digital micro-course in masonry, which will be launched to Beijer at the end of August,” says Anders Ek.

Saint-Gobain has a global framework agreement with the Swedish company Moblrn, which offers a simple platform for creating and distributing product training to mobile devices.
