Personnel Development System
With over 60 airport, private and Local Authority Fire
and Rescue Services customers, Redkite Systems is the
primary supplier of training and competence recording
systems to the Fire and Rescue Services in England and
Wales. We believe this is because we provide a robust
and reliable system that is cost effective, easy to use
and provides the functionality and information users
at all levels require.
But don’t take our word for it…
“The structure of the Redkite PDS allows organisations to
create areas of competence to meet their individual needs
and system options allow an organisation to further tailor the
system to meet their requirements.
With a comprehensive range of reports available users, at an
appropriate level, can source a wide range of information at
the click of a button. Search options allow this information to
be filtered to meet needs.
The Redkite system provides an opportunity to maintain
records of competence, development records and appraisals
in one single application.
With a wide range of access rights the Redkite system allows
many levels of access to facilitate quality control and report
enquiries.
The friendly support from Redkite Systems is also at the
highest level”

QM
Turn PowerPoint presentations or pdf
documents into dynamic learning resources
in minutes!
Quickly transform any PowerPoint presentation
into an integrated e-learning package with built in
self-assessment and dynamic links to staff records.
Easy to set up - a single link on any screen in your
presentation will fire up a predetermined on-line
assessment and, on completion, return back to the
presentation.
Questions are created and stored in topic specific
question banks.
Questions are in a multiple choice format and there is
no limit to the number of questions you can enter.
Questions can have as many optional answers as are
needed and users can be asked to select more than one
correct option.
Questionnaires are created by selecting questions from
one or more topics.
Questionnaires are delivered to candidates who will
answer questions whilst seated at a computer or via a
web enabled smart phone.
For many staff this will mean that they can be assessed
without the need for them to leave their workplace.
Each question is generated at random and the optional
answers are also presented in a random order.
Questions can be marked as they are answered showing
both the correct and incorrect answers if required.
At the end of the assessment the candidate can be
informed of the overall score and whether or not the
assessment has been completed successfully.
The outcome of the assessment can be automatically
passed to the candidate’s personal portfolio where the
results can be viewed in full detail providing
substantiating evidence of knowledge and
understanding in key competence areas.

The Redkite Personnel Development System can be
used to deliver, assess, mark and record any
computer based learning package.
Computer Based TrainingCBT
Computer Based Training / Learning resources are
uploaded to the server via a user friendly upload screen.
If the learning resource is required to be assessed via
Redkite Question Master then the links to the
appropriate assessment will need to be added to the
package.
Users can be ‘enrolled’ onto CBT resources via Tracker
and users will only have access to those resources on to
which they are enrolled.
On completion of learning the system will record that
the resource has been used. If the resource is linked to
an assessment in Question Master then the appropriate
assessment will be delivered and marked and the
results stored in the personal portfolio.
The facility to deliver Computer Based Learning
packages is a new feature in the Redkite Personnel
Development System and has been added at the
request of our pro-active User Group.
Redkite Systems do not provide training resources – we
only supply the mechanism for storing, selecting,
delivering, assessing, marking and recording the
outcomes of CBT learning experiences.
It is planned that the Redkite User Group will make
resources developed within one organisation available
to other similar organisations.
