Client Testimonials

Seeing our clients achieve their e-learning goals is the greatest reward for our team.

“

The SCORM Wrapper roll-out has been fantastic, and we are so pleased with the level of support provided to the team throughout. Our board were impressed and dubbed it ‘cutting edge’ and ‘innovative.’ Our clients are thrilled with the transition also.

The Catalyst team took away the technical challenge and worry of managing 40+ Moodle sites, and allowed us to focus attention on achieving learning outcomes and business goals rather than day-to-day technical administration.

This was a complex project that required great technical skills and communication and Catalyst IT provided both, making this project run incredibly smoothly. The migration was completed 1 month ahead of schedule without issues. They are a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to any organisation.

The new USI tool is quick and easy to use. It streamlines the USI verification process, to better support our students – a great result.

Thanks very much for your work on this, I am grateful for how well the upgrade has gone. We have a good foundation for our learning and development program at Resthaven.

With a target audience of 300,000 school staff nationally, we couldn’t have afforded to deliver this online training without the cloud. Now we have users signing on at a arate of 5,000 to 10,000 a month, and the system doesn’t blink.
