You've probably heard how online training cannot compare with the experience of classroom learning. We agree—because we think that properly deliveredonline training is vastly superior to classroom training!
Consider these seven simple reasons why online training wins every time:
1. It's Better Than Live
Our online training is delivered
live—this means that, just like in a real classroom, you will log in to our system and attend a
class taught by a real human being, who speaks to you using his or her
voice, and with whom you can converse normally, as if you were in a
real classroomwith your fellow students.
The good thing is—while you don't have to give up any of the experience, you can attend our classes from anywhere there is an Internet connection: all you need is a browser and as little as 28.8kbps of bandwidth. There is no special software to install, and no limitations on the platforms and operating systems we support. What's more, you don't have to travel to a classroom at the other end of town (or of the country)–and, therefore, you won't lose productivity and save money.
The short of it:lose none of the classroom experience, gain all the convenience of learning online
Because our training takes places entirely online, we don't have to cram a course in a short period of a few days so that all the students can travel to one place and take the course.
We prefer to spread out our courses over several weeks (usually three) in manageable classes that last about three hours. This way:
We offer an unconditional money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with our online training courses. There's no haggling, and no penalties.
Even better, we offer you a completely free trial for every single one of our online courses. The trial comes with no strings attached of any kind—we don't even need any form of payment until you are satisfied that a course is right for you, and we have established a strict set of policies aimed at ensuring that you will not have to endure endless sales calls just because you want to try one of our courses.
The short of it:We make the decision easy: try it for free, and sign up only if you're comfortable.
Having classes spread out in time allows us to offer you freetutoring: in between classes, you can ask questions, suggestions and clarification to your trainer by e-mail.
The short of it:Tutoring enhance your learning experience by providing you valuable feedback
Every class is automatically recorded, and the recording (including all audio, video, slides and chat comments) is made available free of charge to all attendees for up to three months after each class ends.
This gives you a great opportunity to review those topics that are not clear, or revisit each class to make sure you have caught all the details.
Like the live portion of each class, the recordings require a connection to the Internet and a web browser—that's it!
The short of it: Recordings make learning easier, and improve results
Being able to deliver online courses allows us to go and hire the best instructors in the field—and not just those we can find locally.
Most of our instructors are published magazine and book authors, have computer science degrees and have many years of professional experience working with PHP and its related technologies.
The short of it: our training programs feature great instructors you won't find anywhere else.
We neversacrifice the quality of our courses in the name of lower prices. We do, however, realize some significant savings by not having to rent office space and equipment for our online training, and we are happy to pass those savings on to you.
This means that our online training, while offering a better-than-the-classroom experience, is significantly less expensive than the latter, allowing you to save money in your training budget that you can reinvest in more advanced training for you and your colleagues.
The short of it:our live online training gives your buck more bang—without sacrificing the results.
