Office Competence

Learning commercial skills through play

Shine at your apprenticeship through gamification: “Office Competence” is a low-threshold learning tool for apprentices and newcomers to commercial professions. A wide range of practical tasks allows them to test and further strengthen their knowledge and skills. The combination of games and learning offers effective knowledge transfer. After completing each training scenario, the user receives feedback in a virtual conversation.

The free learning offer can be played directly in the browser.

Rethinking Education

Together with our project partners IBW, we developed a scenario-based e-learning for the WKO that aims to teach commercial skills in the areas of offers, order confirmations, delivery bills, invoices and payments in a playful way.

Explaining complex tasks in simple terms? Our specialty!

When combining challenging task design and branching decision-based dialogs, complexity can quickly get out of hand. Luckily, we have years of experience in presenting complicated topics in a simple and playful way: In “Office Competence”, we focused on designing varied scenarios in such a way that they are easy to understand and simple to use.
