An awareness programme for the understanding and prevention of HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

The affliction of the AIDS pandemic is affecting all of us in one way or another and has the potential to wreak havoc on the economy of all African countries. Netlearn has committed itself to addressing this problem by offering a unique computer based training course to educate all members of our society on this complex disease.

Available on CD-ROM or streaming over your Intranet, the ProSkillsTM HIV/AIDS Literacy course delivers all the necessary information to increase awareness, understanding and knowledge about the causes and prevention of HIV/AIDS in a fast, effective and user-friendly manner.

WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE?

It is appropriate to say EVERYBODY! Understanding HIV and being sensible about our sexual behaviour is the only way to prevent us from being infected and from infecting others. We need to speak openly and directly about HIV/AIDS, attacking the ignorance and prejudice so rife concerning the disease. The course offered by Netlearn accomplishes just that.

WHY SHOULD YOUR COMPANY INVEST IN THIS COURSE?

AIDS-related illnesses and deaths to employees affect a company by both increasing expenditures and reducing revenues. Expenditures increase due to health care costs, burial fees and training and recruitment of replacement employees. Revenues decrease because of absenteeism due to illness or attendance of funerals and time spent on training. Continued labour turnover is very likely to lead to a less experienced labour force that would essentially be less productive for the company. The most effective response will be to reduce the number of new infections in the future – investing in Netlearn’s HIV and AIDS course will achieve that aim.

WILL THE COURSE BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD?

The language is at an everyday, basic, primary education level. Incorporating a full glossary, sound, video and animations, as well as interactive challenge sessions, it’s the perfect learning tool to educate people from all walks of life. All the information is presented in a logical, clear and concise manner and is just a mouse-click away. (DIAGRAM OF THE USER INTERFACE as shown on pg 19 of doc.)
