Our courses are designed to enrich your confidence, competence, and cost efficiency as a development professional. Approved by test publishers as a provider of qualifying and certifying programs, we focus on proven tools.

As the pioneer in blended learning, we have assembled a comprehensive portfolio of the most recognized and scientifically sound tools for individual and organizational development.

By investing in this experience, you increase effectiveness and worth to your customers and clients.

Our programs have three components

Component 1--Web Learning through modules, bulletin board, chats

Interactive modules that review:

• Theory
• Construction
• Administration and Interpretation
• Reliability and Validity

In each module, you will have a complete outline of essential ideas. You will also have an opportunity to download supporting learning guides and other materials to aid your learning.

The interactive web modules thoroughly review the technical content needed for qualification, and you are expected to learn technical content prior to attending the workshop. Please plan to spend 10-25 hrs (depending upon the program) on the web-based pre-work prior to attending the Application-Interpretation Workshop. Note that these technical issues will not be reviewed in lecture at the workshop which is dedicated to experiential exercises through discussions, group simulations, and case studies for "best practices" of applications and appropriate interpretation of the instrument.

Component 2--Application/Interpretation workshop

Our workshops give you what you need to learn for best use of the tool. During our workshop you will:

(1) receive your own report and experience an interpretation of the instrument.

(2) explore the special dynamics and best practices with the instrument and the underlying model on which it is based.

(3) review "lessons of experience" in using the tool and specific application strategies.

The workshop is focused on applications while the web pre-work gets the technical issued completed so you can maximize your learning experience.

Component 3--Free Learning Network continuous learning

Post workshop: modules open to you, bulletin board to post questions, free community learning forums.
