The VE Launchpad

Taking you from CRC/ABVE to VE through over 40 Lessons and 5 Partial Task Trainers for a true multi-level solution.  This course employs adult learning principles through micro-learning to break down VE requirements & tasks into building blocks for maximum retention. The partial task trainer uses proven methods from the US Air Force Weapons School to drive greater skills & process retention…growing confidence and performance faster! 

VE Simulator

The VE simulators apply principles from medical school training at universities worldwide, as well as FAA/DoD simulator and in-flight instruction techniques.  These Full Mission Profiles (think entire cycle of testimony from scheduling to testimony complete) replicate the entire cradle to grave process each VE undergoes…applying VE Launchpad and Social Security Administration precepts in real time to prepare for and deliver testimony as an impartial witness for SSA. This is your key to validating yourself or your VEs for unrivaled BPA performance!

VE Checklist

VE Checklists include graphics integrating your newfound knowledge with requirements and references to build muscle memory, retention, and repeat performance success!  Use of these checklists minimizes risk to the BPA holder while keeping every VE on track with what they must know, consider, and do throughout the research, preparation, and testimony process.
