Was the project a success?


In October 2008, the project was successfully piloted to a group of instructors in a classroom environment. Aer Lingus then went on the launch the live site in January 2009 for the first round of 2009 training schedule. The pilots had three months to complete the course with the end of March being the cut-off date.

Feedback from Conor Rock, Training Captain at Aer Lingus, is a positive validation of Enovations work on the project: "Enovation delivered on all of our requirements. Moodle has been universally well received by the pilots and we have reduced our training costs, and from what can I say—the project has been a huge success."
