To take on this formidable challenge, the three companies formed a new business called LINK & LEARN.
According to LINK & LEARN managing director Harald Strehling,
“With the increasing complexity of aviation technology and knowledge requirements, it was necessary to develop new ways of presenting the required training content”.

Drawing on the extensive training experience of both Austrian Airlines and Fairchild Dornier,
and the software development know-how of infoWERK, the new program will use a multimedia approach,
encompassing self-paced web-based training, a learning management system (LMS)
developed by infoWERK, classroom seminars, practical training, reviews and stage exams.

Strehling points out that an important part of the program is the interaction between students
and the “teletrainer”, an online tutor who is available to track the student’s progress, answer questions
and process comments. This feedback is based on questions from the students and from exam results.
Additionally, the response from students, instructors and aviation authorities can be used
to continually update program material and improve the program structure.

Director Strehling is pleased with the program.
“We think this training program really works. We have put together an effective training incorporating the latest web-based methodology, enhanced by one-on-one training seminars and testing. The result is less costly, more effective training”.
