The Virtual
Classroom
From
our students...
"I
have recommended [E&A's Web-based] courses to many of
my co-workers. The classes are easy to attend and the instructors
are friendly and knowledgeable."
"This
was the first time I took a Web-based course, and I wasn't
sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised to find
that it was a VERY effective learning method. I plan to take
other courses this way."

Elert
& Associates' virtual classroom makes it possible to attend
a live, instructor-led class anywhere you have access
to the Internet and a telephone.
Use
your Web browser to join the class and view the instructor's screen.
Hear and interact with the instructor and other students via a conference
call.
Because
you can attend class right from your desk, you avoid the lost time
and expense of traveling to a separate training site. Best of all,
most classes are just 90 minutes long and focus on a specific topic
or set of tasks in an application, which helps to ensure your training
time is productive and 100% applicable to your needs.

During these 45-minute sessions, individuals work one-on-one with
an instructor on the topic of their choice. You can choose a topic
from our course catalog (e.g., a class you're interested in that
is not offered on the public schedule) or come with your own questions
about how best to use a particular application for a project or
document you are working on.
Dedicated
(Private) Classes
If
your organization has a group of people who want training on the
same topic, contact us to schedule a dedicated session for that
group. Choose a course from our catalog
or let us work with you to customize a session to best meet the
participants' needs.
What Courseware
Is Provided?
Once
you register for a class, you'll receive a confirmation message
containing instructions for joining the class as well as a link
to the courseware for the class. Use this link and the accompanying
password to download and print the courseware before your class.
(The courseware is a PDF file; viewing it requires the free Adobe
Reader software.)
Our
students consistently comment on the quality and usefulness of E&A's
courseware. We strive to write detailed and thorough materials that
successfully support classroom instruction but also serve as a valuable
follow-up reference after the class. For more information and examples,
please see our Courseware page.
Why Choose
E&A's Virtual Classroom?
Some
training providers' "virtual classroom" courses are actually
just self-study modules available through the provider's Web site.
These sessions may be facilitated or monitored in some way by an
instructor, but there is little or no real-time interaction to ensure
students are understanding and successfully applying the course
content.
Elert
& Associates is one of the very few training providers currently
offering live, instructor-led training in a virtual classroom--a
perfect solution for those students who learn better in a classroom
environment but don't have the time or ability to attend an on-site
class.
