What is a Private Class?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

During a recent public class, I mentioned that we are happy to organize private classes for our clients.  One student asked “Isn’t this a private class?” and I realized that others may not realize what we mean by private vs. public classes.

Our public classes are listed on our schedule, and are open for anyone to attend. The students come from various companies, all interested in a particular class.  Students often rearrange their schedules to match the dates of the classes they are interested in taking.

In contrast, a private class is made up of students from one organization. The class can be customized to fit their particular needs, and can be scheduled according to their calendars and needs.  These classes can be held at our state-of-the-art training center, or can be conducted at a client’s place of business.

One of the advantages to a private class is that everyone will learn the same material at the same time — with any special additions that are unique to your organization. Everyone is brought up to speed at the same time, which can increase productivity and even morale.

Any of our sales staff would be happy to work with you to set up a private class.  You can choose from any of our existing classes, or ask for something unique for your situation!  We’ll do our best to help.

What to Expect When You Come To Class

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

If you’ve never attended a computer training class at Executive Training Solutions before, you may wonder what to expect when you visit our training center.  A few days before your scheduled class, you will receive an email reminder.  This email will include the class name, as well as the times the class will be held.

Plan to arrive 10 – 15 minutes before the scheduled class time to give yourself time to get settled.  Our friendly front desk will help you sign in and show you around our facility.  You will find coffee, iced tea, soda and filtered water throughout the day.  In the morning, you will also find an assortment of breakfast breads — in case you left home before you had a chance to eat!

During your tour, the classroom will be pointed out to you.  If you ever forget which room your class is in, a sign outside each door will remind you.

Our classrooms provide a computer station for each student, which are internet-enabled.  You can also access our high speed, secure, internet connection via wi-fi for your laptop or handheld devices.  Just ask the instructor for our password.

Our instructors will use a projector to show you exactly what you should see on your screen, and help you work through various exercises to increase your skills and knowledge.  Our manuals are comprehensive, and are yours to keep so feel free to write notes in them. Each chapter includes numerous opportunities to practice what you’re learning.  When time allows, your instructor will encourage taking some time for independent practice using the labs in the back of each manual.

For our full day classes, expect to take a break during the morning, an hour break for lunch, and another break in the afternoon.  During your afternoon break, you will sometimes receive the special treat of freshly baked cookies!

Our classes wrap up after a full day of learning.  The instructors and staff are happy to help you determine what classes you might want to take next, and the instructors are always happy to respond to email questions regarding the class after you leave for the day.

If you haven’t taken a class yet, we hope you will soon!  Our friendly and informative staff are waiting to make your training experience an excellent experience.
