SOS Intl has over 380 continuing education hours available and we understand that expertise is correlated with effective performance on a job. It gives us a unique understanding of what accelerates the ability of novices and builds the proficiency of seasoned professionals. We apply our learning methodology to both our classroom and training courses thereby increasing retention, knowledge and skill. This consistent approach means that the customer experience will be the same wherever they do the training, but with different benefits.
Training is not one size fits all. It depends on the needs of the learner and the resources of the manager. Online and classroom training both have benefits.
Online training continues to be one of the fastest growing trends. Our online training benefits include:
- Easy to access anytime and anywhere
- Consistent presentation
- Reduction in the cost of travel, facilities and supplies
- Ease of set up without IT help
- Usage to focus on one single component or serve as short refresher courses
The value of an instructor-led training experience is undeniable. Classroom training is still the most effective because of the live, dynamic interactions between the students and the instructor. Other benefits include:
- Seasoned trainers who are industry experts and can provide valuable knowledge based on their experiences
- Small course groups which ensure fast learning pace
- Minimized time commitment for the learner
- Learning style customized for each individual
- Comprehensive reference material to refresh knowledge after the course has ended
