SIKE: What was our first impression when we arrived?
Elena Yuryevna: We first became acquainted with SIKE products in 2011. SIKE told us about the possibilities and confirmed they are ready to make a multimedia training complex according to our requirements for training our specialists.
The development of the first "Shaft Furnace" simulator took six months. The company's methodologists interviewed production experts, filmed videos, and clarified all the details to create an accurate mathematical model of our furnace.
The simulator has been updated several times and today is actively used by employees to master professional skills without the slightest risk and work out various emergency scenarios. In addition to the simulator, a theoretical electronic course has been developed.

SIKE: Can you advise on how to use solutions effectively?
Elena Yurievna: For training products to bring greater effect and be in demand, it is necessary to include them in modular professional training programs and constantly keep the content up to date.
Before starting to develop a course, you need to research the target audience in detail, without saving time on this. As a result, the course will be aimed at those who most need this knowledge; they will help solve specific problems of employees.
Extensive theoretical courses cause negativity. Employees want to receive information easily and quickly. We transfer all big courses to micro-learning and then we form modules and learning paths.

SIKE: Did SIKE's remote location confuse you and affect the effectiveness of our interactions?
Elena Yuryevna: It didn't confuse me at all. Most of our development companies are located remotely. We have long been able to communicate remotely without losing quality in interaction.
