Abstract
Methods and systems for providing training through/over electronic data networks to remote electronic device users are disclosed. Training can be provided through networks to computers and portable hand held devices. Handheld devices can include PDAs, pagers, and wireless phones. Training can be received by a remote trainee through electronic data networks for completion at a wireless device. Methods and systems are also disclosed for recording training completed remotely by users of a wireless hand held devices. Completed training can be transmitted usng hand held devices through an electronic network to course provider (e.g., server). Remote users authentication and certification of completed training received from a hand held device through an electronic network can be conducted by a training provider'"'"'s equipment. Training providers can identify and/or authenticate users of completed instruction and training received from a hand held device and transmitted through an electronic network using biometrics. Completed training can certified by sending certification of training results to trainees and associated third parties. Certification can be provided via electronic means that can include e-mail receipt and/or automatic generation of paper-based communication (e.g., letter/certificate).
