Our Training Format
Our training sessions are personalized and tailored to your unique requirements. First we discuss your goals and interests, then we figure out a lesson plan to help you accomplish those goals and learn more about your interests. We offer one-on-one, small group, or remote training to ensure training sessions work well with your busy schedule. Our trainers have multiple different skillsets, so we can teach a variety of subjects efficiently.
In addition, we understand that every individual has a different way of processing information in a learning environment. We tailor our training methods to help you understand all of the information. For example, we trained individuals at Centria, a leading construction company, and KDKA, a local TV station. During each training session, we used different formats and training methods to ensure the companies’ employees were able to understand and enjoy the learning process.
Training at Centria
At Centria, we did a short period of classroom-style training, then for the rest of the day, the individuals went from kiosk to kiosk to learn about specific topics. After spending time at each kiosk, they went to an evaluation station to review and take a short test. Once the test was completed, they would move to the next kiosk and repeat the process. This was an efficient method of training because the individuals were engaged throughout the training session.
Training at KDKA TV
At KDKA, we trained groups of 12 people for 3 hour sessions, which were spread out over the course of a few days. After a 3 hour session, each group had a chance to practice the material and come back in a couple days for another 3 hour session. This was an efficient method of training because the individuals were able to absorb and practice the material.
