On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Syntra West, the strategic redefining of the class offer is the key towards the future. In U&I Learning, Syntra West has found the ideal in-depth partner to jointly realise new and contemporary pedagogic methods and thus guide students into the future.

From now on, the class offer will be available in various pedagogic methods, depending on the need of the student or organisation: blended learning (a combination of class training and eLearning), traditional eLearning, rapid eLearning, serious gaming, m-learning, etc.

Johan de Neve, general director and delegated manager at Syntra West explains, "Various technological evolutions create new routes for offering efficient training. The specific training method where contact moments remain limited and where knowledge is partially transferred over the net allows the training to evolve to a cross between tailor made for a small group and open source, where the teacher becomes more of a coach."

"Syntra West is keenly aware of these continuous changes in society and is determined to innovate and invest in order to offer combined forms of learning. This allows us to replace classroom workshops by virtual classrooms and bring elements such as varying self-study, coaching, and on-the job training into play."

Guy Herregodts, CEO at U&I Learning adds, "Knowledge is the ultimate key to success. U&I Learning is specialised in knowledge transfer, where the various forms of eLearning are a means to a clearly defined end: gaining knowledge."

"With Syntra West we have a perfect strategic fit. The high-quality content offered by Syntra West today will tomorrow be offered in the way students want, as well as in the form and at the time they need. That is how Syntra West and U&I Learning anticipate the new forms of didactics and the evolutions of new technologies."
