Key attributes:
- Build on the content learned in the virtual class offerings and move into system integration of GE products to create customer solutions.
- Both the Essentials and Advanced course follow this model with the advanced course building on the essentials course activities to build more complex solutions.
- Both courses starts with an initial virtual class session. This is then followed with e-learning coursework and testing, leading to a second virtual classroom session and then a hands-on face to face workshop. We will conclude with a final test and a final virtual class to close out the course.
- The aim of the final virtual session is to allow students time to reflect on the course and ask any question they might have about the course and its content.
- Throughout the course students are encouraged to collaborate with the instructor and their peers through the collaboration tool.
- Its all about learning, it is much more than a training course!
