Do your instructors have real-world project experience in the subject matter?

Yes, in each case they have years of working in that specific area prior to becoming an instructor.

Does training and mentoring compete with your services business?

Actually, the customers that are the most successful, are the ones that develop highly skilled people, and as a result see the full potential and continue to pursue the vision we’ve created with them.

 

Several different approaches allow us to provide excellent mentoring and training for our clients. These approaches are supported by 'pre-built' core courses designed to meet the specific needs of products or services.

Strategic Target Programming

Our Strategic Target Programming is designed for clients who require more of a tactical approach to their training needs.

System Steps:
1. Technology Needs Assessment
2. Employee Skills Assessment
3. Course or Package Program Assignment

Through this approach, our expert staff will determine the proper training level and technology proficiencies for our clients.

Technology Transfer

Technology Transfer is our most requested form of training for our clients' staff. The approach focuses on a placed consultant within the client organization, working on a specific project (either application development or integration) to meet business objectives. Throughout the process, we offer formal training and hands-on knowledge transfer, while rapidly moving the organization towards its goals through the completion of working technology in the project. A typical example of this process can be seen in 5 steps:

System Steps:
1. Discovery Phase - Consultant driven, with trainee involvement for understanding of technology issues.
2. Planning Phase - Consultant driven, with trainee participation in potential solutions for understanding the approach and rational for the project plan.
3. Education Phase - Course placement for trainee on the technologies utilized in the development phase.
4. Adoption Phase - Consultant driven, using a mentor approach with trainee.
5. Operational Phase - Trainee driven, with consultant as a resource.
