The Challenge:

e-Workshop VS Plant Operation Workshop

Virtual Classroom' VS Traditional Classroom

After 14 years of traditional Plant Operation Workshop and the consensus of 3,000 students evaluating the effectiveness of the Workshops, it may be fair to conclude that Plant Operation Workshop with 'Traditional Classroom Style Training'is an excellent training course. If the Plant Operation Workshop is going to replace itself with e-Workshop, e-Workshop has a tough act to follow. We want to replace the 'Traditional' with the 'Virtual'. After you see what we did, you will be happy we did. We are most confident you will like our performance as much if not more than our Traditional Plant Workshops. Please consider kicking the tires.

We take that challenge very seriously as we venture into this new training method, and decided we had to raise the bar even higher. We scoured the planet and found several companies to be outstanding. A few of those companies winning rave reviews for providing the platform for companies like Plant Operation Workshop to deliver rich and engaging training. We spent hours with their engineers asking questions people normally do not ask. We participated in their on-line training sessions and find them dynamic, exciting and alive. The impact was significant. Our retention was high. We find we are no longer the same people we were when we entered their 'Virtual Classroom' -- we are new and improved. We also listened to you and your pocket books. We know we have to do more with less. Sometimes your people cannot be trained at a specific time because of other commitments. Or they register for a class and find they can't be there for unforeseen reasons. Maybe you would like all your people to be trained by the same instructor at the same time. Or the time and expense becomes too great to fly people, provide ground transportation, house people and provide meals. Sometimes flying is more difficult with cancellations, security issues and rescheduling. Or you're left wondering what your people really experienced and retained from the training. Your people may want the luxury to pick and choose what to learn, when they want to learn about it, and where they want to learn it. Or your people may get great ideas from talking to other students.

We can do all that. Considering the alternative, we make it a snap. We give you live classes for those who can attend on a schedule and allow others to sit in on the recorded classes they want to see, when they want to see them, at any location convenient to them. Whether your people attend separately Live or On-Demand, they can all be trained from the same Live Session or that specific recorded Live Session. You can slash your travel and living expense. Students in Live Classes can be seen and heard by everyone else in the class. Students can be tested for what they know and retained. We engage your people and they participate while we get to know them and their problems, and we send them to their plants with corrective actions and solutions. The benefits from 'Traditional' have not changed, we've just added more impact.

What can you possibly find as a better payback than teaching your people to safely make the highest quality asphalt, at the maximum production possible, while using the least amount of energy and reducing your operating costs.

We're not just people teaching a class, we live in your industry and in your problems. We partner with you to find solutions. If you have a problem, we have a problem. We do not walk away from our problems. We walk the walk, we are entitled to talk the talk. Our Workshop has stood the test of time and has been around for a decade and a half. Our customers keep coming back. We are just making it so you do not have to trek so far. The fee is nominal -- the benefits are great. You control the scheduling. Come see where the bar has been risen to. Join us in our Workshop at http://clarencerichard.acrobat.com/workshopdemo/ and take the virtual classroom tour.
