Are you learning for personal interest, or do you need
evidence of your skills? Or both? You
can choose the type of computer
training session that suits your needs.
All session types are available for one-on-one training
or groups, either with an instructor in person at your location, or Live Online.

Structured
Certificate Courses
If you're upgrading your skills for the job
market, or
if you
want evidence of your accomplishments, you'll want one of our
structured courses. These courses generally take around 3 - 4 hours per skill
level (for example, Introduction and Intermediate MS
Word® are considered two skill levels).
Structured courses include a custom-written workbook that
contains information, tips and shortcuts, and step-by-step
instructions, as well as skill-building exercises.
When you complete the workbook
under the supervision of your instructor, you'll receive a certificate
to
show that you have successfully completed the course. After the course,
you can use your workbook as a quick reference tool, to brush up your
skills and keep you on track.

“My instructor was very patient, and he created a good
rapport
with me. He was well organized, and able to “wing
it”
when I wanted to learn things outside what we’d
scheduled.
I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the session. I liked
the
hands-on experience, and learned a lot more about (the topic) than
sitting in a class. I liked the ability to learn what was
needed,
not necessarily what was on the curriculum.”

Informal
"Q&A" Computer Training Sessions
If you are used to using your software already,
but you'd like to learn the tips and tricks to make your work easier,
or if you just have a few nagging "How-to" questions in a number of
areas, a Q&A session could be just what you need.
If you want to ask a variety of
questions and get quick answers, then Q&A
sessions are for you.
Your instructor will come prepared to answer your questions on one or a
variety of topics. You can usually get all the information you need in
only a session or two.
Note:
Q&A sessions are best for people who are already
quite familiar with their software. If "you don't know what
you don't know", then you may want to consider a structured session
instead.

My
session was a perfect experience – I can’t think of
a way
to improve it. I had a bad experience with a
“techie”
guy before – he went too fast and used technical terms I
didn’t understand.
My instructor explained everything in
plain English and made it really easy to understand. He went
at
my pace and made sure I understood everything as we went
along.
I’m so glad I found you guys!

Project
Kick-Start Sessions
If you've got a special project on the go and
you're pressed for
time, wouldn't it be nice to have a knowledgeable person sitting beside
you while you work, showing you the quickest, easiest way to get things
done?
In a Project Kick-Start session, you'll actually learn skills and
gain productivity while you do your daily work.
When you book a Project Kick-Start session, tell us which
program
you're working in, and what you need to get done.
Your instructor will arrive ready to get you up
and
running on your project, saving you time, money, and frustration.
You win all around!

“I liked the hands-on approach and that the course material
was
directed by me and specifically addressed the issues I was concerned
with.”

"Live
Online" Learning Sessions
You can still get a personalized learning experience, even if you're
not in the same room with the instructor.
You can schedule a "Live Online" session just like a regular in-person
session.
Each participant needs a high-speed internet connection and a computer
audio headset (for VoIP) or a
telephone. At the time you choose, all the participants connect, to "attend" a session with their instructor.
You can follow along with the course material on
your screen, and you'll use your audio or telephone connection to
listen to the
instructor and ask questions.
You'll get
exactly the same personalized experience as if you were
sitting in the same room: you can stop the instructor to ask
questions, ask him/her to slow down or speed up, show him/her what
you're working on, and control your entire learning experience - all
without leaving your own desk... wherever it might be!
|
You
can set up "Live Online"
sessions for individuals or groups, in Q & A, Structured
or Project KickStart formats.
These are
not "canned" sessions - you're connected with a
real, live
instructor, just as if you were attending an in-person course. |

“I'm … really appreciating learning this way where
something real happens and I can contact you with a
question… Thanks for another brilliant year of
doing business together… It simply could not have
been done without your insightful and patient support.”
