Professional language practice for the needs of working life

AliceAI Learning helps healthcare and defense-sector organizations systematically develop the language skills their staff need at work.

Professional language proficiency

From everyday language to the confidence the job requires

Beyond everyday language, the job calls for the vocabulary of your own field and the confidence to use the language in professional situations.

Practice targeted to the job

The content is based on the vocabulary of your own field and on the communication situations that recur at work.

A chance to prepare in advance

You can practice handling challenging situations in advance and at your own pace.

Systematic development

Regular practice can begin as early as onboarding and continue over the long term as part of staff development.

How AliceAI Learning works

Built for the needs of both the professional and the organization

AliceAI Learning combines practice in a mobile app with an organization portal for tracking progress.

For professionals

Practice the language in a mobile app

In the AliceAI Learning mobile app, professionals practice the language they need at work at their own pace. The learning content is based on industry-specific vocabulary and workplace situations.

Practice includes, for example:

  • the vocabulary and key concepts of your own field
  • listening and speaking exercises
  • exercises based on real work situations
  • feedback to support learning

The aim of the practice is to build confidence in using the language in your own work.

For organizations

Track your staff's practice progress in the organization portal

In the organization portal, designated staff can track practice activity and progress through the different learning materials. This information helps them monitor progress toward goals and assess the need for additional support.

Service models

Choose the service model that suits your organization

AliceAI Learning can be introduced as a ready-made 12-month service or as a Custom solution adapted to your organization's needs.

AliceAI 12

A ready-made 12-month service package

AliceAI 12 lets professionals practice the language they need at work at their own pace and gives organizations a clear structure for launching, phasing and monitoring practice.

The learning content can be rolled out in stages as practice progresses.

The package includes:

  • a kick-off meeting and rollout planning
  • learning modules chosen for the organization's needs
  • onboarding professionals to use the mobile app
  • access to the mobile app for 12 months
  • regular monitoring of how practice progresses
  • a closing summary and a recommendation for next steps

An organization portal can be added to the service so that designated staff can track practice activity and progress. The package then also includes setting up the portal and training the designated staff to use it.

When is AliceAI Custom the better fit?

AliceAI 12 is based on ready-made learning modules. If you want the content or the rollout adapted to your organization's job roles, own vocabulary or operating environment, AliceAI Custom is the better fit.

AliceAI Custom

A service package adapted to your organization's needs

AliceAI Custom suits an organization that needs content adapted to its job roles, vocabulary or operating environment alongside the ready-made learning modules.

The service also suits large rollouts involving several user groups or units. The content, the rollout and the monitoring are planned around the organization's goals and needs.

The package can include:

  • learning content based on the organization's own vocabulary, instructions and materials
  • content adapted to job roles and work situations
  • a phased rollout to several user groups or units
  • broader rollout planning, onboarding and support
  • agreed monitoring and reporting solutions
  • integrations agreed separately

The assessment establishes the organization's needs and defines the scope and delivery of the package on that basis.

What can the organization monitor?

If the organization portal is included in the chosen service package, designated staff can track practice activity and progress through the different learning materials. Views and access rights are defined according to the agreed package.

What does the rollout require from the organization?

With AliceAI 12, getting started is straightforward. The organization takes part in a kick-off meeting and sets aside time to train professionals to use the app. If the service package includes the organization portal, the designated staff also receive training in how to use it.

In the AliceAI Custom solution, the amount of design work depends on the content required and the scope of the rollout.

Before deciding, the organization receives a clear quote covering the content and the price of the package.

What happens after the first year?

After the first contract period, the service can continue with a new annual agreement. At the same time the package can be expanded to new learning content, user groups or units as the organization needs.

We agree on the next steps together, based on insights gained from using the service and the organization's goals.

What kind of service model suits your organization?

In a short needs assessment meeting, we identify the user group, goals and scope of the rollout. Based on this discussion, you will receive a clear proposal covering a suitable service model, learning content and pricing.
