Interested in furthering your professional and personal potential in innovation and creative-problem solving? There is an opportunity for Army members to undertake free external training.
This course presents further opportunities for Army personnel to upskill, with the specific goal of teaching participants how to develop creative solutions using existing resources in order to problem solve. The team at Alto have built this course in close consultation with Army personnel of various ranks, who provided feedback on what they have found useful, what they would like to learn and how.
Army Innovation Training is an online, self-paced training module, designed by Alto Education in close consultation with the Army MakerSpace and run by QinetiQ. Offering flexible learning, the course is 100% online and self-paced. You can start at any time and continue at a pace that suits you. The training is spread across 12 modules, each of which takes about an hour to complete. You can start with any module you find interesting; it is not necessary to go consecutively through the course. And best of all- it is free to undertake for all Army members!
The course is accompanied by a bespoke mobile app that participants can use to practice what they learn in the course. The course is built in close consultation with Army personnel to make the course content relevant and relatable. The materials are designed to be easy-to-consume and focused at one concept at a time. There are audio versions of all the readings, so participants can listen to the training instead of reading if that suits your schedule better.
