Interplay Learning Is Very Useful

The experience has been positive. Entry level technicians enjoy all the courses. The more experienced technicians wish there were more advanced courses. We did find one error on one of the videos a couple months back and sent the information in to Interplay but have not heard back.

PROS

I like that fact that as the administrator, I can track progress on my team members on my dashboard. I also like the variety on different courses and the fact that each course is presented in short sections/chapters. I like the knowledge checks/quizzes.

CONS

I wish there were more advanced courses on chillers, cooling towers, water-source heat pumps, etc. More DDC controls courses would be a plus as well.

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

Pricing and user management features

Vendor Response

Hi Sergio! We are so thrilled you and your techs are enjoying the training! And thank you for your feedback on not only your request for more advanced courses, but also a few specific examples, that is so helpful! Consider your requests submitted to our Production team for review. They love to know what our customers want to see, it helps us prioritize what courses are developed and launched, which is primarily based on how many requests we get for it. So keep the feedback coming, we're all ears! Regarding the error you never heard back from us on, we will make sure to notify your Customer Success Manager so they can help track that email down for you. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and helpful review, we really appreciate it, Sergio!

National trade academy instructor review

As an hvac company and trade school, we also use interplay learning to train office personnel that are good with managing people, and business, but literally have no idea what services we provide. It allows them to be a better liaison between tech and customer, and between tech and office personnel.

PROS

I like that I can give students assignments and have them complete it before showing up to training in our class. Our platform is structured so that 80% of class time is spent in the lab. Interplay learning allows us to have students learn a lot of stuff that would normally have to be taught in a classroom at home before they show up, which allows us to then spend time in the lab rather than the classroom.

CONS

I do not like that there is no way to have an app for this software on a phone. Most people do not use computers or even tablets these days. .. Sometimes the software for tablets is not great and causes videos to crash, or especially the 3d training will crash. Some of the video content is a little inaccurate, but for the most part is spot on. I also think the new 3d training for recovery and vacuum needs a little work.

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

Because it is able to be used online, and because of the virtual troubleshooting aspect.

Vendor Response

Hi Tom! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a helpful review! We're thrilled to hear you and your students are making the most of the platform. You're not only using the platform for technical training, but for creating a community and culture of learning as well. So awesome. Regarding the crashing and video content accuracy, we'll make sure your Customer Success Manager reaches out to make sure we fully understand your feedback and get it in the right hands to investigate and work on a fix. They'll be in touch soon. Thank you for bringing it to our attention! Regarding a mobile app, smartphones don't have quite the screen space or computing power to make the 3D sims playable...yet...but never say never! Really appreciate your feedback there though - noted! We're also glad to hear it's not just your students using the training, but the office staff too. We are starting to see so many companies decide to do the same, and it's awesome to see. Knowledge is power, as they say!

Not worth the money

Disappointing

PROS

Just about everything about it was disappointing. Its awkward to use and does not lend itself to being used for assessments

CONS

Lots of glitches and trouble getting assistance when needed.

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

There really wasn't anything else that I knew of to deliver content in this way.

Vendor Response

I apologize that your experience was negative, we are committed to providing the best customer journey and in this case did not fulfill on that commitment. We understand your frustrations, and if possible would like to speak with you directly to understand more of what did not meet your needs. Time is valuable, so if that is not of interest to you we completely understand, but if available we would love to speak with you further.

Training Manager's Viewpoint

I think it is an excellent tool for someone who wants to expand their knowledge. My team does not work on Solar but I have a few that take the course, myself included, just to understand how it works.

PROS

Overall the software is easy to use. I have some people who use their smartphones & work on it during the day, while others spend time with it in the evenings. I have 30+yrs in the HVAC industry & review the courses before assigning them...I'm still learning from the courses. I love when I can assign a course & receive notification when the course is complete or late.. It is great for personal development & used for performance reviews. I also like that if a user is not using the software I can reassign their seat.

CONS

My team does not use Virtual Reality so I don't know how it would look with the googles, but when troubleshooting & placing your meter on objects it doesn't like the real world. I would like to remove points as an admin user when students are got cheating the game, ( yes they still do cheat & they believe I am too old to catch on :).

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

It is a multifaceted course & ease of use.

Vendor Response

Hi Mark! You are such a great example of how to maximize the platform and make the most of it. We are so glad that you and your students are enjoying the platform and really benefiting from it (and that they're completing their assignments!) Always a win for you. If you're looking for a true "real world" experience, the 3D is powerful, but VR is on a whole new level. Definitely reach out to your Customer Success Manager to talk about VR if you want to explore what that would look like for your team. If by "cheating" you mean duplicate points for multiple attempts, you're right, they do get points for each activity they complete, even if they re-take that activity. Reach out to your CSM about this too to talk about different ways to measure progress instead of points -- course completions are never duplicated, so that would be a good example of a different way to measure progress. But thank you for your feedback there, and for leaving such a thoughtful review! Keep up the great work!

great experience interplay has made get steps to improve this program. it's a thousand times better than when i first began. still needs some tweaking to make it better.

PROS

easy to use. Great foundation. great support team.

CONS

needs some work on electrical side. also need a variety of different style manufactories to give students a more wide range of how different units operate.

Vendor Response

Hi Sam! We're thrilled you've been along for the ride as long as you have - you've seen so many launches, adjustments, tweaks, and additions to the training since you came on board! Thanks for always being so candid with your feedback and being a great partner in our growth. But the most important growth is that of your students, so we'll keep working towards that mission. We appreciate your feedback on training for different manufacturer unit styles. For now, we try to make the units in our 3D sims largely universal so that the troubleshooting applies to any unit that technicians would see in the field. We'd love to hear more about your thoughts on Electrical content you'd like to see, so reach out to your Customer Success Manager so we can get the feedback submitted! Consistent and intentional improvement, that's our motto. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Sam!

Interplay Learning Electrical Skill Mill for the Win!

My students now have a very powerful tool to enhance their classroom experience and master the learning objectives for the class.

PROS

This product was very easy to integrate into my high school Construction Trades Electrical class. The online learning modules prepare the students for real-world hands-on applications. The VR labs allow the students to simulate circuit building and troubleshooting that they will replicate in the classroom lab. The safety of trying to wire a VR circuit first before actually doing it is extremely valuable.

CONS

I would like to have students have the ability to retake certain modules from the beginning. It appears once a module is completed the instructor cannot reset the progress.

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

The ability to use a VR headset to complete some of the activities.

Vendor Response

Aaron, we are thrilled Interplay Learning is a tool in your classroom and that, in partnership with your expertise as an instructor, your students feel prepared for the real world - that is why we do what we do. Thank you for all your hard work and all that you do for your students, we're grateful to partner with such innovative instructors like you. We appreciate your time leaving such an awesome review. SkillMill for the win, indeed!

Good use of technology

Repetition creates a habit, doing the troubleshooting helps build the right sequence and helps older techs remember to check the most common issues first. Our biggest hurdle with using this is adapting our company culture. Training is often low on the list when things are busy. We are working on changing this and in the future we hope to incorporate regular training into our schedule instead of fitting it in when things are slow. I see us using this technology more and more in the next 5 years.

PROS

Real life scenarios and the thought put into troubleshooting. The A/C and RTU troubleshooting has been very helpful for us. I appreciate the regular updates to the system. That makes it have more value to us and keeps it relevant.

CONS

I would like to see high efficiency boiler troubleshooting. We have had a few issues with Oculus software but that seems to be better now.

Reason for choosing Interplay Learning

I saw and used the demo at the AHR Expo and was sold on it.

Vendor Response

Hi Tony! This is all music to our ears. We're so glad our paths crossed at the AHR Expo. You and the Blakeman team have been such great partners to work with. Creating a training culture takes work indeed, but is worth every step - amen! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We'll make sure High Efficiency Boiler Troubleshooting is on our Production team's radar for consideration and review, great idea! Glad to hear the Oculus software is running more smoothly now, but don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Manager for any VR assistance if more questions come up. Keep up the great work!

Interplay is good

Interplay helped out Apprenticeship & Trades department replace the in-person lab experiences in many of our classes. Our Electrical instructor and our HVAC instructor were able to to use several of Interplay's course offerings to keep their students engaged during the past 15 months of Covid-related distance learning.

PROS

Catalog is full of worthwhile offerings for our instructors to use to augment class lectures. Great selection of different subject areas that is very well organized. VR simulations are better than most other options that I've seen.

CONS

It has been a little difficult for our team to come to an understanding of how the organizational structure of the Teams works. But that is the only real hang up we've had.

Vendor Response

Hi Adam! We are so glad to hear that both your instructors and your students are enjoying the courses across the different trades! We've been making some updates to how the Team page works especially with subgroups to make it easier for schools and large companies to manage their learners. To make sure you feel confident with how your Team page is structured, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Manager and we can work with you on it! Also, if you have any ideas on how we can improve the Team page structuring, let us know, we are always all ears for ways to make our platform better! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and helpful review, keep up the great work future-proofing your program and engaging your students virtually!

Better Statistics

overall the platform is a great learning platform to move my technicians into another competency

PROS

The ease of sending courses to my employees

CONS

The members course progress is missing the point on grades.. Yes it tells you that a person completed a course at 100% but what is there grade on all of the tests and quizes within a certain course.. I make my guys go back and retake the course on a score less then 80%.. but it is very tedious for me to go through and add up all of the quizes and tests to see what there average was for the course.... This would be a huge improvement moving forward. Also I would like to have full control over what the team gets for courses, i see that they can go in and pick what they want when they want and this disrupts the reason why i gave them certain courses...

Vendor Response

Hi Mike! Agreed 100%. We are putting a big effort towards buffing out our reporting. We want to make it more robust so that admins like you have more visibility that's easier to access. Reporting updates are on the roadmap, so definitely keep your eyes out for those announcements when they launch!

During times with limited meeting abilities the software filled a gap in training and really helped to review new material with the students.

PROS

I like the "hands on" experience with out being able to put hands on, it allows inexperienced technicians the ability to safely learn new skills.

CONS

Least favorite feature is the ability to have "free reign" of the systems. For example, being able to add or remove refrigerant on your own, to be able to view its effects.

Hi Andrew! We're thrilled you and your techs are enjoying the training. We're glad you think the 3D sims provide an opportunity for learning and making mistakes before they're in the real world.

The easiest way to get technical training to your employees

Interplay Learning listens to your concerns and truly wants you to be happy with their product.

PROS

CONS

Hi Michael! You hit the nail on the head. Access, consistency, and accountability. Access is the first step.

Great resource in a virtual landscape

Overall this has been a great tool to prepare our trainees for what to expect on our job sites. All of them have had a working familiarity with what's necessary to complete a solar installation which was great and cut down on training time.

PROS

The software is a great tool to get trainees/new hires familiar with the processes that go into some of the trades jobs. The simulated modules are pretty accurate to the situations encountered on job sites.

CONS

Some of the simulated modules were inconsistent or required precision placements for steps in order to move forward that would not trigger.

Hi Mitch! We are so glad to hear that our training has provided a way to simulate scenarios without having the safety risk of voltage to worry about.

If a resolution can't be achieved through troubleshooting, we'll get a backend fix on our development schedule. Regarding mobile devices, those are best for videos and quizzes, but when it comes to the 3D sims, an iPad, Android tablet, or computer device will be required to launch the sims successfully.

Great Variety

Currently, there are no 'in house', live training facilities in our area for plumbers. It is nice to have this for our newbies and our 'experienced' techs.

PROS

I like the fact that you can access any discipline for learning. We are a plumbing company, but it is nice to have a little knowledge about other disciplines in case you run into any complications that might be related to the job. There are new ways of doing things all the time, it is nice to be able to have the techs learn and review this at their convenience.

CONS

Don't have anything we dislike about the software, so far.

Interactive learning is a scam

Considering my blood pressure is through the roof with the hassle of a non working 3D simulation, I say it is pretty damn awful...

PROS

No Pros at all... You would think it would be awesome to gain actual experience from the 3D simulation but the whole program is a fraud and a scam...

CONS

The 3D simulation is a great idea if it actually worked! Spent nearly 20 minutes just fighting the part where you move your multimeter leads to troubleshoot the problem. Had to give up in order to save my laptop from smashing it on the floor. For a 40 dollar subscription, nothing works at all.... And that's the scam!

Interplay Learning

Customer service is friendly and attentive. Our technicians seem to be learning new things when they log on to Interplay Learning. It is great for our new hires as well.

PROS

The ability to check on the technician progress.

CONS

I can not think of anything at this time that I do not like about Interplay Learning.

Vendor Response

Thank you for our hard work and time investing in their growth! We are grateful to be a part of it and we appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review, keeping crushing it out there!

Great tool for traning

Overall I think this is a very useful product and we love using it on our team.

PROS

The content is great. This is a great resource for training up new hires and provides nice refreshers for our other tenured staff.

CONS

The software is a bit slow to get started up and has a lot of freezes/crashes if you don't use the app.

Vendor Response

Hi Dana! So awesome to hear you all are finding value for not only your newer technicians, but also your more seasoned techs. To stay competitive, you have to refine and stay sharp, and you and your team are crushing it. We're glad to hear the apps are improving the smoothness of the platform for you. As a tip, if you all were accessing via browser beforehand, we highly recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox, in case that helps for the future! We are so thrilled to hear you're loving the training, keep up the great work. Thanks for leaving such an honest and awesome review, Dana!

Vendor Response

Hi Sebastian! We're so glad to hear you are leveraging the platform to train your team, especially to up-ramp your new employees. We strive to always be building and launching new training content to keep them growing. But we know managing team training comes with its challenges, as well as its rewards. We know it can be hard to keep your techs on track, so assigning content can help keep them focused (where you want them to focus). In case you haven't seen it yet, we'd recommend checking out your Command Center to start assigning training. If you'd like to learn more about that, reach out to your Customer Success Manager, and they can help walk you through that feature as well as best practices! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Sebastian, we really appreciate it!
