Airport Security Company

An Airport security company chose PowerVote for its training programmes dedicated to airport safety

Each year since 2006, 5,000 people are trained thanks to this interactive meeting system based on electronic voting.

The Ministerial Order of 1 September 2003 made training programmes dedicated to airport safety mandatory for all air transport activities. Put in place to prevent acts of malice, these programmes answer several major goals, including: have a general understanding of the various players and their respective roles, be familiar with the safety-measure goals and prohibited items, and master the main regulatory measures applicable.

An innovative educational tool for real-time evaluation

This renowned player in the consulting and training sector, relies on the PowerVote solution to provide its services to the personnel of airlines, airports, freight companies and service firms. Following each session, the participants use the voting keypads to individually answer a series of questions, thereby allowing for a confirmation of their knowledge acquisition. For certified training courses, a minimum score of 12 out of 20 is required for validation.

“Today, all players of the air transport sector are required to implement training programmes for their entire personnel. Faced with this legal obligation, the teaching aids chosen are a decisive factor in meeting the goals set by the ministerial order. By facilitating the understanding of the measures and rigorously confirming the results, PowerVote meets our clients’ needs and expectations,” declares the Director of the company.

Breaking with the traditional paper-based questionnaires, the processing of which is often time-consuming, The Airport Security company chose to acquire the PowerVote solution, which allows it to create interactive, fun presentations, to collect the participants’ votes in real-time, and to immediately and graphically display the results with the help of a video projector.
“The PowerVote system is perfectly suited to the needs of our profession. Easy to use, it not only allows our instructors to visualise the answers in real-time and to save them onto their computer, it also enables them to immediately evaluate the knowledge level of the audience, thereby making them more reactive. These are differentiating factors to which our clients are very sensitive,” adds the director.

Stimulating emulation to optimise knowledge acquisition

The interactivity of the PowerVote system, combined with the playfulness of the voting keypads, has also proved to be a real motivational lever for the trainees. “It is essential for us to be able to capitalise on a solution that is both interactive and intuitive and that allows us to involve the participants by making them more active,” continues the Director of the company.
Another advantage greatly appreciated by them: the possibility for the instructor to punctuate the training sessions, whenever they so desires, with best-score rankings. “With the results being displayed in real-time, we are able, thanks to the voting keypads, to take into consideration the response time of each trainee. As a result, the training sessions become more dynamic, a real emulation arises between participants, and message memorisation is greatly improved,” he concludes.
