The PDC: A New Approach to Training and Development

x
Decades of research have clearly shown that lecture-style instruction is one of the least effective methods of delivering information. So why are technology training plans still measured by on-site hours and classroom instruction?

We have done away with traditional models. Our self-paced, multimedia methodology will get your staff up to speed and keep them moving forward in the years to come. 

Our learning materials include:
Simulations
Videos
Quizzes/Course Test

 
iPad
