DELMIAWorks Training Programs

Studies have proven that companies that place a premium on training progress significantly faster, with better results than those that do not. This same philosophy holds true with DELMIAWorks . The product is broad, in some places complex, and its integrated nature can fundamentally change the way you look at your business.

To help your employees gain a thorough knowledge of the DELMIAWorks system offers, several hands-on training programs. These programs address different needs of the user community and cover both global and specific issues within the software. The training programs will teach you not only program functionality but, more importantly, how to USE the system and the data to benefit your organization.

DELMIAWorks Training Center Programs
DELMIAworks has two state-of-the-art training facilities that provide users with hands-on training experience. Class size is kept to a minimum to allow users a more personal and interactive environment to encourage and stimulate a comprehensive understanding of the concepts being presented.

Internet Training
DELMIAWorks offers customers two affordable options for training conducted over the Internet. All Internet training is conducted in real-time by live instructors –

• Internet-Based Training — Focused, single-customer training, completely customized by the user to address the specific subjects and needs of that organization. DELMIAWorks training staff uses the Internet to connect directly to a customer’s PC. Training is done in real-time on customer data.
• Virtual Training Classes — These are open to all DELMIAWorks users. The virtual class is presented in the same manner as DELMIAWorks classroom training courses, with curriculum and content defined and developed by DELMIAWorks staff to meet the dynamic needs of the overall client base.

On-Site Training Courses
DELMIAWorks offers on-site training courses to those customers who feel better served by training at their facility. Additionally, all courses taught in our training centers can also be performed at the customer site by a DELMIAWorks trainer. On-site training courses also allow the flexibility of shortening the class duration by removing any topics not applicable to the customer environment. On-site training is billed at a daily rate, not per user, plus travel expenses and includes course workbooks and materials for each participant.
