You say you offer Best-in-Class instructors. What does that mean?

Well educated, 15+ year HRD (and 25+ year career) experience, relevant job and life experience that lends authority to their instruction, ISD and platforms trained, certified as applicable, highly engaging, motivating, and inspiring. They are multi-faceted, involved in not just developing and teaching courses but also consulting and coaching. They earn great evaluations, class after class!

So can we talk to our actual instructor before we commit?

Of course! Our instructors are impressive; we want you to talk to them.

What’s unique about your course scheduling process?

Our approach is consultative, focused on solving your problem. You begin by discussing your team’s background and expected training outcomes with our Training Director (MA in ISD, 30+ year experience). We will follow through with a detailed course outline for your feedback. We will bounce this outline back-and-forth till you say it’s final. (All this at no cost or obligation.) This final outline will form the blueprints for a custom course to be taught at your offices on the date chosen by you.

What distinguishes your sales process in the marketplace?

Can you tailor your course to our industry, culture, language, processes, and audience?

Yes! You want to train for a reason, we get that! Your class will use the vocabulary, examples, stories, exercises, and case studies that reflect your business. BTW, we rarely charge extra for this.  And, yes, we’ve worked with sensitive issues for 25+ years, so your info is safe with us (NDA’s are available).

Given your custom courses and top-tier instructors, are your classes more expensive?
