The 21st century is bringing rapid development in new technologies as well as the need to stay informed of updates and changes to older, more established products and services.

This has created a need to continually train today's workforce on new developments in your product, process or service – whether your firm is engaged in commercial, military or government business. This need to distribute information quickly and efficiently puts a growing strain on budgets, travel and staff resources – especially when trying to bring effective training sessions to your staff or customers in different parts of the country or across the world.

At GGS Information Services, we utilize state-of-the-art tools to create Computer Based Training (CBT) programs which meet almost any need – from technical service to sales and customer support. We can also support your Web-Based Training (WBT) requirements as well!

Computer Based Training is a method of training where the student follows a progressive interactive, self-paced, visual environment without the need for an instructor. This allows the student to learn at his or her own pace over a longer period of time than what would be available in an instructed class setting. In addition, CBT provides greater access to your training and staff development materials than traditional classroom-based training.

What makes CBT Training Materials from GGS different?
At GGS, our combined knowledge covers a wide range of technical business-to-business fields, ranging from Aerospace and Transportation Equipment, to Commercial HVAC and Computer Programming. This knowledge of an array of subject matter allows us to develop training materials that will maximize learning and minimize confusion. Another advantage is our ability to validate data that we put into our training -- thereby ensuring accuracy. Our knowledge base includes instructional system design, graphic design, photography, and multimedia (3D animation and video), which ensures that your training materials will be as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Our CBT-based training programs actually ‘mirror" much of the technical information which we produce each day in the form of printed specification, service and repair and operations manuals, CDs and Internet-based Web applications for all of our major clients.

Some examples of our CBT modules are:

• Visual, step-by-step, interactive operating instructions for a piece of equipment – complete with animated colored graphics to depict individual circuits, flows, or components
• Instructions for hydraulic or electronic circuit operations that include "virtual" components that can be operated and depicted with full functionality, easily played on either a PC or Mac-based computer
• Parts locators and identifiers – easily identified and highlighted with accompanying text or side-notes
• Simple or complex detailed assemblies, and also assembly and disassembly instructions that allow the user to build and disassemble a component within a "virtual" environment
• The ability to include diagnostic tests, in performing service or "extreme field" repair scenarios, such as component "break-away" service or test and measurement proficiency
• The opportunity to include a student’s self-test for training evaluation or performance review, with the ability to save and store test results as proof of certification or proficiency. We can develop comprehensive lessons which work best with OR without an instructor’s guidance – depending on your preference or unique need.

(The examples noted above are core module types and can have added or subtracted functionality based on your budget and the extent that you wish to include CBT or WBT as part of your overall ISD Process).

Discover The Many Other Benefits of Computer-Based Training
The staff of GGS includes technical/course writers, instructors, programmers, and other Microsoft® certified professionals who can take your training and staff development materials and package them for easy "plug and play" portability for your staff or customers.

Why not consider using trained on-site GGS classroom instructors, with your GGS-produced CBT or WBT training materials, for optimum results?
