The Mentored Learning Approach

Mentored Learning is an on-demand delivery model - you determine when you attend training and for how long.  Each workstation can include two computer monitors.  On one, you can access the course content: video, text, and audio.  On the other monitor, you have access to the production environment so that you can practice your skills at any time during the course.  This allows you to fast-forward through lessons or to stop the content and practice a concept hands-on as many times as you need.  This increases knowledge retention and the ability to apply your newly acquired knowledge on the job.

Focused Learning

Skill sets are assessed prior to training to identify the gap between your current level of knowledge and the required level of knowledge.  Your learning path can then be customized to specifically fill that knowledge gap.  You are completely in control of the pace of the course and the content covered so that you can focus on only what you need to learn.

One-on-One Mentoring

Certified Instructors are present to provide ongoing coaching, support, and guidance throughout your training.  Mentors can answer questions and provide additional instruction when needed to help increase your comprehension and retention of the course material.

Flexible Scheduling

Flexible course schedules allow you to get that added skill set while maintaining your daily schedule.  For instance, the training schedule can be built around a work schedule so that productivity in the workplace is maintained.
