Step 1: Identify Training Needs and Objectives

First things first. What do your external users need to learn? Don't guess. Know. 

Continu's Assessments & Quizzes make this easy.

Shoot a quick quiz their way. Find out where the training gaps are.

This step is crucial. It shapes your whole training plan.

With Continu, you get clear data on what your partners, clients, or contractors need to know.

Now you're ready to build an training program for enterprise learners that hits the mark.

Step 2: Create Engaging and Relevant Content

Now, let's talk content. It's got to grab attention. It's got to stick.

That's where Learning Tracks come into play.

Build content that speaks directly to your external users.

What's their role? How do they interact with your company? Answer these, and you're golden.

Continu's Learning Tracks let you organize this content just right. It's not just about dumping information. It's about creating a journey that educates, engages, and resonates.

With the right content in place, you're not just training; you're empowering.

Step 3: Personalize the Learning Experience

A personal touch matters. Everyone learns differently.

That's where Smart Segmentation™ shines.

Tailor the learning journey. Role, industry, expertise—Continu lets you customize paths for each.

It's about delivering the right content to people outside the company.

This isn't one-size-fits-all. It's about making every external user feel seen. With Smart Segmentation™, your training hits closer to home.

Step 4: Make Training Accessible Anytime

Accessibility is key. Your external users could be anywhere, across the globe. Different countries and timezones.

They need training that fits their schedule, not the other way around.

Remote self-directed learning is the answer. With Continu, training isn't tied to a desk. It's on any device, any time. Flexibility at its best.

This means your partners or clients can dive into training when it suits them. Early bird or night owl, Continu's there.

Step 5: Facilitate Easy Access and Onboarding

Let's talk access. Easy in, no hassle. That's crucial, especially for external users.

Single Sign-On (SSO) makes it happen.

With SSO, one set of credentials opens the door to Continu. No juggling logins. No forgotten passwords. Just smooth sailing from the start.

This simplicity is a game-changer for onboarding. It means external users get to the good stuff faster—learning about your products and services.

Step 6: Engage and Motivate Learners

Engagement is everything. How do you keep external users hooked? 

By incorporating gamification into training. Enter Badges.

Badges aren't just fun; they're milestones. They celebrate progress, achievement, and effort.

With Continu, you can sprinkle these motivational gems throughout your training.

This gamification sparks a bit of healthy competition and pride. It turns learning into a journey worth bragging about.

Step 7: Track Progress and Measure Effectiveness

Last but not least, it’s time to start tracking training performance. Seeing is believing. 

With Real-Time Tracking & Custom Reporting, Continu gives you eyes on everything.

Track every click, completion, and quiz. See who's excelling and who might need a nudge. It's data that drives decisions.

This isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about understanding impact. Are your external users really getting what they need? Continu's analytics tell the story.
