A team in a training session at work
The problem

Every screen in the room is competing with you.

Ask people to answer on their own device and you lose them to their inbox before the poll closes. Nobody ever said: great training, I answered three emails.

01

Sitting through it

People attend. You can't tell who learned anything until something goes wrong.

02

Ticking the box

Compliance training gets done, not remembered. A signature is not a knowledge check.

03

No proof

When someone asks who knew the procedure, an attendance list is all you have.

Use cases

Wherever people need to learn it, not just hear it

Onboarding

Check what new starters picked up before day two.

Compliance training

Turn the mandatory module into a quiz people remember, with a record of every answer.

Health and safety

Make sure everyone knows the procedure, not just that they attended.

Product and sales training

Quizzes and team battles before the launch, not after it.

Leadership programs

Anonymous answers on the questions people won't say out loud.

Town halls and all-hands

Ask the real question. Honest answers, on screen in seconds.

Sales kickoffs

A leaderboard people will talk about for the rest of the year.

Workshops and strategy days

Rank the options on impact and effort, and leave with a decision.

In your training

Four moments that change the room

Check knowledge as you go

Ask before you move on. If a third of the room gets it wrong, you know what to explain again, today, not after the incident.

The ResponsePad

Built to do one thing well

No screen, no apps, no notifications. Just ten keys and a light that tells each person their answer is in. That is why the room stays with you.

  • One press

    Keys A to J. Answer in a second, then look up again.

  • Instant confirmation

    The status light blinks green when the answer is received.

  • No setup

    No pairing, no syncing, no app, no log-in. Hand out and go.

ResponsePad clicker, front

What customers say

Trusted in lecture halls, boardrooms and conference halls

OMBEA Response gives me real-time feedback on how my audience is listening to and learning from my presentation. An astoundingly simple and powerful tool!
Gunnar AnderssonSenior Advisor, Folksam
It was great. It's such a useful conference tool because when you're talking you know for sure whether or not you're hitting the right notes and you can adjust accordingly.
Mark ReynoldsEducation Sales Manager, Microsoft UK60 education advisers
The OMBEA system is a fantastic tool in our inventory. Enabling exciting interaction, instant feedback to the presenter, and rich data from the class, OMBEA immediately enhances the learning experience for participants on both sides of the lecturn. Swift to deploy, simple yet powerful; I will be using OMBEA for all of my training presentations in future!
Sam WoodwardCustomer Education Leader, Lutron
So far we've used the charts and graphs in presentation meetings to build the story around team engagement and particular areas of interest. … the OMBEA data has made it much simpler to get buy-in from around the business.
Simon LeiblingHead of Programme Delivery, Camelot Group160 managers, about 120 votes per question
OMBEA is proving a great asset to the delivery of our staff development activities. We have been able to use it for staff focus groups, induction events and team away days. It is very easy to use and set up and so far people have been interested and excited to use it. It increases interactivity in a session and the instant results mean that the sessions are very open. Using OMBEA encourages discussion and engagement. The feedback has been great!
Dawn TomlinOrganisational Development & Learning Co-ordinator, University of the Arts London
We get access to valuable information that we can use. OMBEA is also greatly appreciated by the participants who think it's a fun and rewarding element of the day.
Fredrik NillenstedtPartner, Drive Management
OMBEA couldn't have been easier to set up. Everything was so simple to use. The students really enjoyed using it and it's often quoted in their feedback to us as being an enjoyable part of the day!
Sara MeakinProject Lead, Skills Lab, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
The delegates like the interactivity and the speed with which their marks come back to them. The admin time saved alone makes OMBEA an amazing investment as all the data is in Excel and can be merged and reviewed instantly!
Alison MoseleyClinical Skills, Russells Hall Hospital (NHS)IV and haematology training
The students responded very positively to the OMBEA system. Mixing the clickers and apps made it very flexible and they found it easy to use. From a lecturer's point of view, it made lectures more interesting and it is much easier to use than our existing response technology.
Dr Richard JoinerSenior Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Bath140 students
OMBEA cut straight through those language barriers and had the room on the edge of their seats!
Maria WillmottConference technician, Global Summit of Women1,240 delegates from 82 countries
The voting couldn't have gone any better, it was exactly what we were looking for.
Paul SimpsonProfessional Development Director, Independent Schools' Bursars Association120 delegates, then 400 ResponsePads
We chose OMBEA because they were excellent across a combination of important factors. They had user-friendly software, good quality hardware, and a refreshing approach to post-sales support. Their attention to support has been brilliant.
Peter RenwickPartner and Co-Owner, Willows Veterinary Centre
OMBEA makes everything so much more interactive and the delegates keep telling us how much they enjoy it. The support we get from the team is great and we love having them at our conferences!
Izzy BehdjetConference Coordinator, Global Insight Conferences
Ombea is easy to manage and grows alongside your business.
Rebecca MillerDirector, Proactive Gas Safety Ltd.
OMBEA has been a great maths resource but also a useful cross-curricular too with a maths link in mind. It's also great for feedback in line with the 1/2/3 system we have in place to encourage self assessment and to identify and address any particular misconceptions. It's fantastic for data handling and compiling data to use with the class. Overall it's a great piece of kit and I love that we can tailor it so easily!
Claire ConstantopoulosHead Teacher, sharing words from one of her Year 3 teachers, William Barcroft Junior School
In some of my courses I might have up to 350 students. It can be tough to get them all to join in, but participation is vital for learning. OMBEA's clickers provide a great solution for this. Using OMBEA's systems, students effectively learn from one another, and their learning has benefited enormously as a result.
Håkan KullvenRoyal Institute of Technology (KTH)
OMBEA's instant class results save time and give the students the opportunity to pursue their own development and performance.
Lisbeth ZeilothTeacher, Åva gymnasium, Täby
I now test the class on a continuous basis, rather than having two exams for each learning module. And there's no extra marking to do, either.
Jan-Erik KantolaTeacher, Rudbeck School, Sollentuna

Good questions

Why clickers instead of people's phones?

A clicker keeps attention in the room. There is no app to download, no Wi-Fi to share and no personal device involved. Hand them out and start.

Can we keep a record per participant?

Yes. In named mode every answer is saved per participant, and the reports show results per question and per person, ready for your training records.

Can answers be anonymous?

Yes. Turn on anonymous mode for sensitive questions, and answers cannot be linked to a person.

Does it work without Wi-Fi?

Yes. ResponsePads talk to the ResponseLink receiver by radio, within 100 meters. No network needed.

How many people can take part?

Up to 2,000 participants in one session.
