Job Aids

Job Aids are standalone printable documents designed to support knowledge and skills transfer from courses to the workplace. They are performance-support tools designed to be used on an ongoing basis or around specific work-focused events, such as performance review, interviewing, leading better meetings, or strategic planning. They may be searched for in the learning site with key words, and are also strategically linked to courses.

SkillBriefs

Express Guides

Express Guide Manuals offer IT professionals an alternative training/reference option for newly emerging certifications and technologies. Express Guides are electronically-delivered equivalents of instructor-led student guides from major technology vendors. The pages are detailed with information and graphics that allow learners to attain quick, accurate, reliable information and apply this knowledge to business objectives immediately. Express Guides enable IT professionals to stay ahead of the curve by providing fast access to critical information and training earlier in the technology adoption cycle. IT professionals who need to master new technologies immediately have access to a reliable learning resource, with trusted content, to develop skills critical for certification and ongoing career development.

Mentoring

Mentoring services are integral to certification-based courseware, providing a level of support and guidance to learners working on professional development and seeking certification that includes live chat with a mentor in real-time, and e-mail with a mentor for more detailed dialogue.
Chats are text-based and allow learners to engage mentors in real-time to ask questions, confirm understanding of a new topic or request additional information on subjects of interest to them.  

Through e-mail mentoring service, learners may seek detailed guidance from mentors on in-depth queries. Questions can range from the short and quick variety to more detailed, expansive questions to enable learners to understand broader or more complicated subject matter.  The flexibility is entirely in the learner's hands.

Learners may also sign up for Daily e-mail from mentors to keep on track with certification preparation.  Daily email questions are synchronized with the learner's expected progress through certification subjects and help learners assess and refresh their knowledge and stay motivated to achieve their goals. Daily e-Mail is only available as part of the mentored asset.

Utilizing learning techniques such as first-person video narration, drag-and-drop network simulations, and multiple choice questions with feedback, Sparks are delivered in concise 3 to 5 minute learning sessions that provide opportunities to practice and reinforce key targeted skills.
