Courseware.co.uk is the only European organization authorized to sell Velsoft courseware. Velsoft Courseware offers training material as a customizable product and does so in a way that differentiates it in the workplace learning and performance market. Velsoft sells ‘courseware’. The term courseware has been around for years but, because of the Internet, courseware as a product has become a growing, preferred method of purchasing instructor-led training material. Courseware (short for course material in a software format) is considered software. In particular, it is software designed to eliminate prep time by providing proven, pre-written courses in an electronic format. The electronic aspect offers several key advantages such as instant access and customizable flexibility so the trainer can ‘localize’ the content.
