Blended, Innovative Learning.

Distance Learning is an interactive learning experience, using video and conferencing technology to provide live instructor-led lessons between students and the classroom. Although you and your instructor are separated by location, your learning experience is shared through discussions, practice labs, demonstrations, and sharing real-time information that is delivered during the course instruction.

Distance Learning is not online learning or a webinar; it is an actual live instructor-led course. Distance Learning courses are interactive - students can ask questions, listen to and view the instructor and students in the classroom. Blending our instructor-led courses with Live Meeting conferencing technology allows students who cannot drive a long distance or take an entire day off from work to log in and participate in a course straight from their desktop.

What are the benefits of Distance Learning?

■ No travel costs

■ Ability to take courses from your own desktop

■ Train all your people - no matter their location

■ Virtual format with a live instructor

■ Live Labs & Demonstrations

Why train your people?

Statistics show that organizations who invest in training for their employees, when compared to those that do not train, experience significantly higher gross profit margins and higher income per employee. Training enables your employees to return to the office with the ability to work more comfortably and productively.

Student Testimonial

“The instructor continually asked if anyone had questions and used names of attendees which gave the class a more personal touch, especially being a Distance Learning student. The overall training experience was outstanding!” Kelly Lamphere - Comcast
