Our training provides users with their own training environment, independent of other students.  This enables each student to learn at their own pace and with a hands on approach with the application. Our training environments also always feature the most current version of Content Manager and ControlPoint, but we can easily train on earlier versions if necessary.
In-Person, Instructor Led Classroom

​This is our recommended delivery method because it is the most engaging and interactive.  Our certified instructors will lead a class of up to 12 people through our standard course offerings.  Our courses include a combination of Lecture, Demonstration and hands-on labs. Please contact us directly for a quote today!​​
Live, Instructor Led VIRTUAL Classroom

​When attendees are scattered across the country or travel costs are prohibitive, a virtual class offers all the great interaction of our in-person delivery except students attend remotely - even from the comfort of their own home!  We do suggest two monitors as one will be used for Presentation and the other will be used for access to the training environment.  We use Voice Over IP (VOIP) for communication which allows each student to attend using their PC sound system. To sign up for one of our virtual offering, please sign up above. 

Self-paced, eLearning Modules

​From our library of existing modules, or those developed specifically for (or in partnership with) you, eLearning offers the flexibility and freedom for students to attend classes on their schedule.  eLearning offers the ‘on demand’ access, ease of training new hires or acts as a quick ‘refresher’ for those who have forgotten.  Content can be designed specific to your organizational needs that utilizes your environment.  Our eLearning modules can be made SCORM compliant if required. Please contact us directly for a quote today!​
Education Consulting and Custom delivery

​The unique nature and implementation of Content Manager sometimes demands custom, ad hoc training that doesn’t follow the normal script.  Our Education Consulting option allows you to tailor a custom curriculum to your staff based on your needs and usage.  We will work with you to develop and deliver personal content for your training needs. Please contact us directly for a quote today!
