About Clearly Trained
Clearly Trained works with corporations, business and organizations of all sizes, developing custom interactive training programs that use Flash technology. There are many names for this type of work – Interactive Corporate Training, Corporate e-Learning, E-Development… Call it what you will, it’s essentially a way to replace/enhance inefficient (and ineffective) training classes, training films, and training manuals.
Who We Serve
It may be a cliché, but we serve just about anyone. A large, multi-national corporation is as likely to contract a custom e-learning video as is a local, 3-location retail chain based in Louisville. Since we are located in Louisville, KY, we serve many businesses in and around that area (Lexington; Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN, etc). But you can find our work in just about every state… heck, every continent (maybe not Antarctica… yet.)
Our focus on eLearning
Owner, Creative Director, and Flash Developer Eric Bort long saw the potential of Flash as an e-learning and corporate training vehicle. The beginning really came from his earliest days as a Flash Developer back in 1998. During the Dot Com craze, everyone was excited about Flash. Unfortunately, most companies saw Flash as merely a way to entertain.
So one day, Eric spent all afternoon at his old technical training job making a cartoon of two monsters fighting (for the record, the purple monster won); and then spent all evening at his second job (something to do with hovercrafts) watching a mandatory (and colossally dull) training video on VHS, which featured extremely bad actors showing employees how to do their jobs. The session ended with the handing out of a training manual, which nobody in the room planned to read. Eric thought “this would be so much better as a Flash activity…. Heck, even the purple monster would get better results.”
Ding Ding Ding… The light bulb went on, and Eric started developing interactive Flash programs designed to give corporate training and e-Learning a healthy shot in the arm.
The Clearly Trained Story
In 1998, Eric started Living Children Multimedia, (now officially Clearly Trained). The goal then, as now, is to enhance e-learning, corporate training, and personal development through the use of technology.
As Eric grew his company and more corporations became interested in his work, the name Living Children Multimedia (which was picked for no other reason than it sounded neat back in 1998) did not accurately describe the work the company did, hence “Clearly Trained”.
The advantage of working with Clearly Trained is that the focus has been on Corporate Training and custom e-Learning since the very beginning. We’ve developed a definitive work process that allows us to focus in on your needs, and deliver exactly what you expect, or more likely, exceed those expectations. We’re professionals at this, which is evidenced by our client base, work samples, and awards.
