Progent's Certified Experts Offer
Webinar Training for Popular Desktop Applications
Customized virtual classrooms get workers up to speed quickly and affordably. Progent offers webinar training for popular desktop applications from Microsoft and Adobe.
Progent's webinars offer small businesses the economy, convenience, and flexibility of virtual seminars plus the proven training techniques of expert teachers who utilize advanced technology to simulate live classrooms.
Progent can provide remote training for key desktop applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, and Visio; Microsoft Dynamics accounting and management software such as MS Dynamics GP; plus other popular desktop applications such as Photoshop, Acrobat Writer, and Crystal Reports.
Because students can attend a webinar training at work, at home, in a hotel room, or anywhere that has fast Internet access, it is far easier to find an acceptable time window that accommodates the schedules of teacher and students. This simplifies the scheduling logistics that traditionally plague personnel managers.
Progent's webinars can be brief, an hour or less, or can span several days. You can schedule one-on-one virtual training sessions or, to get the maximum leverage for your training investment, arrange classes for large groups of students located at multiple sites. All that is required to participate is a telephone, a full-featured web browser, and a high-speed Internet connection.
Setting up the virtual training software is fast and easy, so students of any skill level can quickly join in on a powerful interactive learning environment that includes broadcast white boards, electronic hand-raising, live questions and answers, and shared desktop control for in-depth demonstration.
