Training Formats

In addition to classroom training, Atkins offers many courses online. The online training can be either computer based training (CBT) or presented in a webinar format. Each method is unique in delivery and benefit to the learner. Here is a summary of the three options.

Classroom Training

With classroom training there is an instructor in the classroom delivering the material which allows for immediate face to face interaction as well as opportunity for dialog between students. This format is effective for all training classes and the best option for advanced courses that are more than one day in length.

Computer Based Training

Utilizing computer based training allows the student to receive the training at their workstation, to fit their schedule and to learn at their own pace. This method is often utilized by students who have at least some familiarity with the material making it a good choice for recertification while also being structured to train a first time student. This format is very effective for fast turnaround situations when time frames do not allow you to wait for scheduled classes. (You need the training now).

Webinar Training

Webinar training combines elements of the other two formats. The training is conducted by an instructor via the internet that can be delivered directly to a workstation or in some circumstances, to a group setting. This format is more interactive than CBT and allows the learner to have greater access to the instructor.

The bottom line is:

We provide quality training in a timely and cost effective manner to reduce impact on your business.
