Integrated Learning

The Integrated Learning approach at New Horizons of Des Moines guides you through all stages of your learning lifecycle.  It consists of five components - Assess, Learn, Reinforce, Support, and Validate, and it merges multiple delivery methods and learning resources to create the most effective learning experience available in the industry.

Assess
By assessing needs at the beginning of the learning cycle, students and corporate decision-makers are able to establish training objectives, choose the right solutions, and measure the effectiveness of a training program to maximize their investment.

A pre-assessment of skill levels identifies knowledge gaps so that training needs can be mapped to objectives.  A post-assessment verifies that the required skill level has been attained.

Reinforce
As part of our Integrated Learning model, New Horizons of Des Moines provides reinforcement tools to increase retention of the course material and to advance the learning process.  From hands-on labs to reference materials to practice exams, the learning experience is enhanced by a host of resources, including Learning Guides, eCourseware, Learning Kits, Virtual Labs, Free Retake Policy, and Certification Exam Preparation.

Support
Not only do our students receive study tools and training required for learning, but they also have access to supplemental support services to help complete the learning cycle.  Our support resources are a valuable extension of our reinforcement tools.

Validate
Validation allows the student or corporate training manager to identify the acquired knowledge, areas requiring improvement, and the value of the skills gained.  Through course evaluations, certification exams, post-class assessments, and surveys, students know they are achieving their desired learning goals.
