Dr. Akbar Ziauddin, the Director of Safety Bee Training, has kindly agreed to share his experience with iSpring’s eLearning products. In this case study, he reveals how iSpring Suite has helped Safety Bee Training improve the course creation workflow, save time and resources on content development, and provide a better training experience for clients.
Background
Dr. Akbar Ziauddin, Director
Safety Bee Training is an eLearning provider that focuses on delivering training in occupational health, safety, and environmental programs. At Safety Bee Training, we offer a range of courses designed for both self-paced learning and interactive virtual training sessions. Our goal is to empower individuals and organizations with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure a safer and more sustainable workplace.
What truly makes us unique is our team of seasoned professionals, each bringing extensive experience from their industry.

We cater to learners at all career stages, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge. To date, we’ve successfully trained hundreds of organizations and continue to expand our reach, helping more people excel in their fields in the process.
The challenge: A tedious process of course creation with unintuitive tools
Safety Bee Training employs a blended learning approach, combining eLearning with virtual instructor-led training. The company decided to adopt eLearning because the majority of its learners, including university students and working professionals, often struggle to find the time to attend in-person training sessions.
Before adopting iSpring, experts at Safety Bee Training developed courses using a different tool and published them on Moodle. While the combination worked well, they wanted to find a more streamlined and integrated solution to enhance the learning experience and improve content delivery.
One of the key challenges we faced was the steep learning curve associated with other authoring tools. While these tools were powerful, creating interactive content required significant time and effort, making the development process less efficient. Even with certification in these tools, the process was not as smooth as we desired. This led us to seek a more intuitive and user-friendly solution.
The solution: iSpring Suite
Dr. Akbar Ziauddin took on the challenge of finding a better way to approach course creation with a simple yet feature-rich tool. He tested several platforms and compared their capabilities, along with the user experience.
During his research for a more efficient solution, Dr. Ziauddin discovered iSpring Suite online and decided to give it a try. He installed the demo version and reached out to iSpring’s support team for clarification on a few features. He was impressed with the vendor’s responsiveness and support, which made the decision to switch to iSpring Suite an easy one.
I compared iSpring Suite with other leading vendors, including Adobe Captivate and Articulate. After evaluating these options, I found iSpring to be the best choice due to its ease of use. While other tools have their strengths, iSpring Suite stood out for its intuitive interface and user-friendly features, which made the course development process more efficient and less time-consuming. What truly stood out to me about iSpring was its fluidity, along with its diverse interactivity options and robust quiz-taking capabilities.
Easy course creation, excellent learning experience
Transitioning to iSpring allowed Safety Bee Training to simplify the course building process, providing a more cohesive and user-friendly platform for both course creation and learner engagement.
Dr. Ziauddin and his team find interactive role-play simulations especially useful — they help learners immerse themselves in real-life scenarios and apply newly acquired skills immediately. The text-to-speech feature also comes in handy in the course creation process by providing quality voice-overs that improve comprehension and engage the trainees, particularly those who prefer auditory learning.
The vast Content Library, with numerous resources, such as characters, templates, and locations, allows the course creators at Safety Bee Training to enhance the appearance of their courses quickly without the need to look for authoring assets elsewhere. Dr. Ziauddin says their clients are now even more satisfied with course design, which further improves engagement and knowledge retention.

Effective assessments, easy progress tracking
The course creation team of Safety Bee Training also enjoys iSpring Suite’s assessment capabilities.
The features I like the most are QuizMaker’s assessment possibilities. For example, the ability to send quiz reports via email both to the instructor and the learner makes progress tracking and sharing so much easier
iSpring QuizMaker helps Dr. Ziauddin’s team build cheat-proof interactive assessments and gain deep insights into learners’ performance, including scores and attempts, time spent on a quiz, and the resulting evidence of knowledge gaps. The wide range of question types and customization options has also allowed Safety Bee Training to take quiz design to the next level.

Results
When launching eLearning with iSpring, Dr. Ziauddin’s primary objectives were to simplify the creation of interactive content and design assessment procedures more efficiently.
iSpring Suite has definitely helped me in achieving these goals. The authoring features the tool offers have been essential in ensuring that our training programs are both effective and easy to manage, ultimately enhancing the learning experience for our audiences.
According to Dr. Ziauddin, one of the most significant outcomes of adopting iSpring Suite is the time spent on course building: the content design team now authors courses approximately 3 times faster than with other tools. Safety Bee Training has already created 50+ courses with iSpring Suite, having saved valuable time and resources in the process. The company receives positive feedback from learners and plans to keep using iSpring Suite to expand its training offerings.
