SURCOM Launches eLearning Library

SURCOM is excited to offer an eLearning library of instructional courses tailored specifically for small urban, rural and tribal transit operators. eLearning, or electronic learning, is the delivery of traditional training through digital resources. SURCOM has created a group of interactive courses integrating sound, music, video, pictures and quiz opportunities to help the learner stay engaged and interested. Courses range in length from 10-60 minutes. 60 minute courses include a Certificate of Completion upon successful completion of the training. Courses are designed for learners at all levels of transit development. Front-line staff, drivers, administration and transit managers will find valuable information on a variety of important subjects.

SURCOM has partnered with the National Rural Transit Assistance Program (National RTAP) to provide a portal to offer these courses at no cost. Learners will be required to register and create a quick profile for access to the eLearning library. Learners can take the self-guided courses and access other training materials, and managers can obtain reports to document employee training. Courses are regularly updated and new courses are added as they are developed. Visit the SURCOM eLearning webpage to see the current list of available courses and to register at the National RTAP portal.
