Our blended programs are based on a learning model that combines online instructor‑led training, technology‑enabled interactions, and hands‑on training to prepare students for careers in the industry. The model also introduces students to the job and training requirements of today’s service technicians by using technology and current industry best practices.
The flexible design of the material allows the student to move quickly from fundamentals to hands-on learning. The benefits of this approach include:
- Serving different learning styles by providing information designed in a variety of formats with a strong emphasis on instructional and competency‑based testing.
- Supporting flexibility, consistency and efficiency in curriculum delivery and facility utilization.
- Delivering conceptual topics through web-based training experiences that may include video lectures, digital lesson presentations, computer interactive online learning modules, and technology-enabled student/instructor interactions such as threaded discussions and progress analysis assignments.
- Making the most of the time that students spend on campus completing hands‑on lab activities and demonstrating competency in learning objectives.
- Preparing students to use the same training methodology that industry provides its employees in ongoing technical education.
