Software Training

Today’s software can do phenomenal things; things we could only dream about a decade ago. But even if your company has the latest, greatest, state-of-the-art business software in place, the bottom line is… software is only a tool; and tools are only as good as the people using them. All that impressive functionality and those time-saving features may be going to waste if your employees don’t know how to use them or haven’t been properly trained to use them to their full potential.

Maximize your considerable investment in software by making sure your employees are properly trained to get the most out it. An investment in training today is generally recouped very quickly in the form of increased productivity.

So what’s the right training method for your company: Instructor-lead training, an e-Learning (computer-based) program, or perhaps a Blended Learning program that combines the best of both worlds? It all depends on the specific needs of your business, but the most successful training programs effectively balance cost considerations with the abilities and learning needs of the participants.

Instructor-led training in a classroom continues to be the ideal solution when the following are important factors:

Hands-on participation
In-person interaction

On the other hand, the best e-Learning programs:

Achieve cost savings
Allow trainees to learn at their own pace
Provide individualized content
Can be scheduled and utilized as needed

Blended Learning is the combination of instructor-led and e-Learning solutions. Blended Learning has proven to produce the most effective performance gains in the most efficient manner.

A Blended Learning solution typically includes a combination of the following:

Collaboration
Distance-learning
Instructor-led classroom-based training
Multimedia-based training (MBT)
Online help
Online meetings
Other self-paced instruction
Reference documentation
Web-based training (WBT)
Web conferencing
