Training Methods Used

Traditional Classroom: A live instructor will lead up to 12 students (course dependent) in hands-on exercises with minimal lecture in between. Using the situated learning techniques of the Kirkpatrick Model, this methodology fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are positioned to maximize knowledge retention. This course is a 2-day event.

Video-Led eLearning: Videos will lead students with the same content as the Traditional classroom. The student will have either remote access to a training station or the use of their own hardware to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. During the timeframe of the course the student will have access to Instructor forum where they will be able to ask questions and communicate with an instructor.
