Creating personalised plans for the users on their smart device (phone or tablet), avail® acts like a virtual assistant, at the learner’s fingertips empowering them to reach their full potential through powerful video modelling. Facilitators and Job coaches benefit from libraries of content available for their users to make the most of their time, while organisational managers have reports available at ease enabling them to support and monitor user activity and progress.
