Keimos Office Skills Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This “learning by doing'” model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.

How do I study a CD course?

If you choose a CD course from Keimos, you'll have the benefit of Skill Builder learning software which identifies your learning needs before you start, ensuring that you don't waste time going over things you already know or moving too far ahead before you are ready. With audio and visual instructions, you progress at your own pace, completing self assessment at the end of each topic so you can measure your progress.

Training programme.

Training is modular based with self-assessment testing to ensure the trainee only moves on to the next module after successfully completing the previous one - aiding understanding, boosting information retention and enhancing the learning experience. E Learning does not vary in quality from day to day, class to class, or environment to environment, because the information conveyed and presentation remains consistent. Every course meets the learning objectives required to pass the certification exams and to effectively employ technology on the job.

All courses are staged with either in-course assessments or qualifications triggering the release of the next stage of the course.

Accredited Courseware.

NETg strives for the closest working relationship possible with Microsoft, Cisco, CIW, Netscape, CompTIA, Novell, IBM and Oracle to produce not only the most up-to-date library of courses, but also the most relevant content. By having courseware that follows the "official curriculum" students are assured of getting the most relevant content directly from source. The courseware is mapped directly to the development partners certification programmes, resulting in a comprehensive e-Learning experience for the student. With students from the likes of ICI, AT&T, Logica, Lufthansa and the NHS, some of the biggest companies in this country, the courses have already proved there worth.

Courses

Although we provide tailor-made courses there are standard courses available that meet the needs of the IT industry. These courses provide the student with real life knowledge and certification that is recognised worldwide. Some of the courses that we currently provide offer no certification but will provide the student with enough knowledge and skills to compliment many of the certification courses. We also know how good the courses are because as well as helping in the development of the courses, Microsoft uses NETg courses to train its employees.

Certification

Why Certify?

Certification programmes deliver substantial benefits that can directly contribute to the goals of an individual or organisation. The bottom line: your projects are completed on time and within budget, and technical solutions (and professionals) perform. As technology becomes more complex and support demands continue to increase, certification programmes provide you with an objective, consistent method for hiring or training employees or for getting employment.

Certification and Partnerships

NETg provides effective e-learning solutions to prepare professionals for vendor certification exams. The content of our e-learning offering is organized around the vendor's certification exam objectives and correlates to classroom instruction therefore you are learning the necessary skills to prepare you for certification Distance Learning provides the convenience of studying from the comfort of your own home or workplace, working at your own pace in the way that is most suited to your lifestyle and career commitments. Working at your own pace means that you are more likely to learn the subject in-depth as you are not under pressure to compete with other students who may be better or worse than, so you will never lag behind or be waiting for somebody to catch up.

Customised Courses and Training

Training is modular based with self-assessment testing to ensure that you only move on to the next module after successfully completing the previous one —aiding understanding, boosting information retention and enhancing the learning experience. Because of this modular approach and by having some 800 courses to select from, we can tailor your course to meet your specific needs or level of ability and by staging courses we can ensure that you are gaining qualifications throughout the course.

Our ultimate aim is to target your training needs and provide you with an up-to-date and enjoyable learning experience.

The courseware is mapped directly to the development partners certification programmes, resulting in a comprehensive e-Learning experience for you the student. Every course meets the learning objectives required to pass the certification exams and to effectively employ technology on the job.

With students from the likes of ICI, IBM, LearnDirect, Lufthansa, Shell and the NHS, some of the biggest companies in this country, the courses have already proved there worth.

E-Learning using Computer Based Training

All our courses use Computer Based Training (CBT) software to train and assess you as you progress through your lesson. We use CBT, because E Learning does not vary in quality from day to day, class to class, or environment to environment, the information conveyed and presentation remains consistent. Studies indicate that technology based training can reduce learning time requirements due to the self paced instruction, familiar media, immediate interaction, feedback and personalised instruction

E-Learning provides motivation through immediate responsive feedback and individual involvement. As a student you are given greater flexibility, control and responsibility for your own learning process.

Support

Keimos provides free technical support for issues involving installation of the course software and tutorial support for Desk Top courses, web design and introductory networking courses. For the more advanced courses support is optional, but where you choose to have support this is provided by Keimos or International Correspondence Schools (ICS) who pioneered the concept of distance learning as far back as 1890. In ICS a student will have the back up of the world leader in distance learning with the re-assurance of support from qualified advisors.

Exams

Exam fees are not included in the price of our courses because they can be sat at any Authorised testing centre in the world. So whether you are moving house or country your course can travel with you and you can then take the exam at your nearest testing centre. All IT qualifications are now taken on-line and are either adaptive exams, multi-choice or interactive assessments. For IT Certification, you have to know your subject, which is why we use the NETg training software as it provides full testing facilities.
