Services

Custom Training Design Services An important aspect of our fully customized approach to training is our design capability. If your need is the design of a technical or non-technical training program, we can help. Using our ISD (Instructional Systems Design) process, developed through 15 years of extensive research, we have designed over 400 unique training programs, manuals and workshops. This process has been used to develop learning materials in subjects ranging from the design and use of flight simulators to the construction of cellular sites, from the manufacture and bottling of beverages to self-study programs which accredit individuals to sell complex investment products. We have also designed unique workshops in leadership, team development, service quality, management and supervisory development, sales leadership and a broad range of topics which are typically included in programs of this nature. We are experts in training design. While for many projects we can call upon our own subject matter expertise, our preference is to engage the expertise of experts within your own organization to gather the information essential to the successful design of the training. Our goal is to ensure that the training is technically accurate, relevant, and gets results.
