The Norwegian Nurses' Association has 130,000 members and 3,500 elected representatives who must be up-to-date in their fields of expertise at all times. Without the AO Learning Platform, administration would be very challenging, and the expertise offered to elected representatives and members would be less targeted. The AO Learning Platform provides them with a user-friendly and fully automated solution for publishing, registering, conducting courses and invoicing, which effectively meets their needs.

AO provides course administrators with several benefits to help them become more efficient and handle tasks within publishing, enrollment, course delivery, and invoicing:

3. Easy registration: AO provides a user-friendly registration process for members, elected representatives and customers. Participants can easily register for courses and get an overview of their course activity on "My Page."

Targeted competence activities

AO enables tailored training programs targeted at the individual member. This provides increased member value, and helps retain existing members and attract new ones, so that the organization increases its membership. Competency activities can be easily categorized using tags or targeted to individuals associated with different organizational units or geographical areas. This ensures that relevant offerings reach the target group that needs it most. The platform also provides precise control of access to activities and management of email notifications , which helps ensure targeted training. The two key target groups that benefit from this customization within professional organizations are elected representatives and members with professional interests.

Elected officials
