An innovative methodology

The courses on DVD are based on an exclusive technical system, PVI owned, called “DVD one to one”, as each DVD is unique and allows the acquisition of only one certificate per attendee. The most significant novelty is that it allows all those who are unacquainted with the computer to attend multimedia and interactive courses, with assessment questionnaires, from the comfort of their homes, by simply using a television set, a DVD reader and a remote control. The multi-language function also allows operators of other nationalities to follow courses in their own language. Users may access a sort of tutoring over the telephone, by fax,  e-mail and an e-learning platform. The more expert attendees may also follow courses on PC or Mac.

Structure and functionality of courses on DVD

Courses on DVD are subdivided into chapters, freely consultable; each chapter contains a didactic video, supported by images and animation.

After having viewed each charter you can answer questions on the related questionnaire; it is not possible to access the single questionnaires without having viewed the related chapters.

The questionnaires are different on each DVD; each questionnaire contains several multiple choice answers and must be taken in one single session. It is possible to move through the questions only if the correct answer is given, otherwise the learner is taken back to the beginning of the chapter for revision. The questions change every time the questionnaire is repeated. It is possible to review chapters once related final tests have been passed.

After passing each questionnaire, a number will automatically appear, different for each DVD. This number will have to be copied into the appropriate box on the form attached to the package.

Attendance certificate and test pass

By matching all the chapter numbers which had appeared to the code printed on the DVD, which must also be copied onto the form, you provide proof of having passed the course. Sending the form filled in with the correct codes and attendee’s personal details to PVI TRAINING, via fax (or other means as stated) shall grant the right to receiving the personal attendance certificate.

Each DVD is unique

The questions, the questionnaire code numbers, the product code number are different on each DVD.
