Topics to be Covered:
The TMS Advanced Class provides an information forum to provide the
skills needed to take the TMS program to "the edge of the envelope".
It is structured in an open format where the students drive the instruction
by providing their "real world" training issues. Instructors who design,
test and use the TMS program daily show bring over 50 years of experience to
show how to use TMS to solve the students' needs.
Because this format is driven by a unique mix of students, every class is
new and different. Instructors focus on cutting edge techniques and current
training management issues. Even if you've attended an Advanced TMS class in
the past, we're sure you'll gain new skills and learn how to better use your
TMS program with every class.
The following outlines describe typical topics covered in Advanced TMS
classes. Actual topics covered depend on the interests and questions
presented by the students. We endeavor to leave no question unanswered! |
