E-Learn

The Easy Access to Gain Knowledge on the GS1 System and its Application in the Supply Chain

The GS1 system is utilised in all sectors and at all levels of industries. Its areas of application range from retail to healthcare, defence, services, agriculture and logistics. At operational level, it stretches from production to order processing, delivery, inventory management and accounting. The number of people involved from end-to-end of the supply-demand chain and in each of the industry and cross-sectors is enormous.

In order that work processes move smoothly and seamlessly, it is essential that everyone whose job involves the GS1 standards in one way or another has comprehensive understanding of its functions and applications.

E-Learn is Convenient

Whilst classroom training is the preferred medium of instruction for teacher-student interaction, it is sometimes not possible due to constraint of time and distance from the learning venue. The present state-of-the-art technology has now made it possible for distance learning to take place via the internet in the comfort of your environment at your convenience and own pace.

Recognising the need for easy and convenient access to information, GS1 has developed E-Learn, a web-based training service that enables learning of the GS1 standards through the internet.

E-Learn provide the solution to deliver interactive training that is:

• cost-effective (saves on travelling)


• language independent (selection of language of instruction)


• immediate skill transfer (instantaneous call up of information)

Access to E-Learn

E-learn training is via the electronic medium. The courses are interactive and based on the Adobe Flash technology. You work through the courses at your pace in your own office or home. To access the training, all that is needed is a computer with internet connection and a browser, and you will be LEARNing in seconds!
