Questions?

Once you select a plan, the Eppley team will develop a LEAP LMS implementation to set up your agency’s custom environment. Preliminary work will be completed and an analysis delivered for agency approval. If the agency determines the situation or circumstances have changed based on the reports, scaling up is easy to implement. Any remaining credits to the agency will be applied towards upgrade fees and plans will be adjusted. 

Downgrading or ending use of LEAP LMS is also possible. Notice to end use is required and all active use of LEAP LMS will be ended after a 30 day notice by either party.

You can create a variety of courses, including classroom-based, teleconference, and online ecourse learning content. Additionally, agencies can also create different learning paths for different classes of employees, volunteers, or other groupings based on the agency’s training requirements. Required course completion can also be used as a factor to access agency customized and created courses.

Once an agency has selected a plan, the Eppley team will set up meetings to initiate LEAP LMS implementation. Each agency will receive an implementation plan, LMS implementation readiness review and recommendations, and approvals of various options for implementation based on the agency’s needs.

A phased implementation of the basic LEAP LMS with Eppley’s award-winning support is all that is needed next.

After the agency’s LEAP LMS environment is initiated, agency staff training is provided enabling agency personnel to use the LMS and add agency specific courses. Refinement of the LMS, course content, and creation of curriculum for agency staff and volunteers is a final phase, all supported by the Eppley Institute experts that lead to full LEAP LMS implementation.
