• Lessen the impact of having employees away on training
  Minimize the days away from work – individual learning plans (which take into account previously-acquired knowledge and skills) focus on the organization’s needs. Employees can learn skills specific to their particular roles, rather than entire courses – putting them back on the job sooner.
• More effective learning
  Employees learns on live software with access to vendor authorized materials and labs. Employees can bring in work-related examples for direct coaching from the instructor to build real-world solutions – and learn skills directly relevant to their jobs. Employees can schedule their learning to occur in “digestible amounts” (which can be a day at a time over several weeks) to allow them to better retain and apply knowledge and skills learned.
• One-on-one instruction
  No hesitation over asking “dumb” questions in a group. The mentors are certified instructors, providing assistance with lab work, and the guidance to help achieve learning and certification objectives. Your mentor is your personal learning coach.
