The FLEXclass option provides the student a very affordable way to take a PremierPoint Solutions training class on their own flexible schedule, within a FLEXweek (a week in which FLEXclasses are offered). A FLEXclass is based on the same lecture, demo, and training materials used in live classes, and the hands-on labs and virtual lab environment are exactly the same as well. The only difference is the instructor’s lecture and demos are recorded instead of live.
A PremierPoint Solutions FLEXclass provides you these benefits:
- Quality training equally effective as live training without the live training price tag
- Same material as “live” classes, but allowing more flexible scheduling
- Recorded lecture and demo content make it easy to review material as often as desired to enhance clarification and comprehension
- Recorded lecture and demo content allow the user to skip material he/she is already familiar with and concentrate on learning new (unfamiliar) concepts and skills
- Simulated true-to-life lab environment allows student to repeat lab work as often as necessary or desired – at whatever time of day the student chooses
- Relaxed pace – student moves through the material at the pace he/she prefers, completing the material within the 7-day learning “window”
- Interruptions are not a problem. The student can deal with the situation and come back to the material
- Start/end dates provide a “window of learning,” encouraging the student to complete the material within the allotted time
- Better than eLearning, because an instructor is available to coach the student through email interaction
- More practical/more complete learning experience than eLearning, because the student works through hands-on lab exercises which simulate real-world work scenarios in a virtual environment – not simply click-through screen shots
