Offerings

Our skill building process offers four levels of involvement:

In-House and public seminars  where our experienced, trained instructors use a combination of presentation, practical exercises, case studies and real-life experience to introduce participants to effective analysis and testing skills.

E-Learning  add a location-independent dimension of learning for those who have difficulty leaving their workspace for an extended, classroom seminar. We offer two flavors of e–Learning — "Virtual Workshops", which can be scheduled for your organization (closed to the public) or as a public session with open enrollment and "On-Demand training" (also known as self-paced e-learning) which are web-based training modules that you can take anywhere you have access to the Internet.

E-Coaching  adds a location-independent dimension of support to the learning process that lets participants apply new skills on the job with the interactive support of our expert practitioners to further enhance retention.

Hands-on consulting  with project-focused, facilitated Joint Application Development (JAD) sessions help you apply the tools and techniques in real-life under time pressure while accelerating your project's progress.
