Avatech Provides New Innovative Online Training Services
Avatech Solutions, Inc. is offering a new service called Online Seminar Learning. This selection of training seminars is designed specifically to meet the current economic and competitive challenges that face design engineering and architecture firms across the country.
Online Seminar Learning enables architects, designers, and engineers to learn new skills or focus on the ones they need most. The short sessions provide the convenience of online learning from the student's own desktop, are live and led by an instructor with deep industry experience, and offer the benefit of being low-cost and topic-specific. The sessions enable students to boost productivity instantly and increase their firm’s value to their clients—all in an hour or two.
“It’s more important than ever for our clients to maintain a competitive skill set and we want to enable them to do that. Online Seminar Learning fills that need because it is inexpensive, doesn’t require travel, and focuses on a specific topic that hones skills to a competitive edge,” says Bill Zavadil, Sr. VP of Services for Avatech. “While it is not a substitute for our traditional hands-on training, it is a great way for someone to build on existing skills to achieve expertise in a specific area,” Zavadil concludes.
Initially, Avatech is offering 30 different seminars to those working in the design areas of general CAD, building solutions, manufacturing engineering, and infrastructure engineering. Single focused topics include: custom user interfaces and workspaces; gaining efficiency with assembly management tools; rendering techniques; managing topology; and creating, managing, and customizing schedules to name just a very few.
“Everyone at Avatech realizes that our customers need new and innovative ways to become more competitive even as they are forced to be leaner and meaner. We continue to be the ‘go-to’ company that provides these solutions, and our new Online Seminar Learning classes are just the newest tool in our arsenal. We will continue to explore services that help our customers gain the edge they need to increase productivity and revenue,” says George Davis, president and CEO of Avatech Solutions.
Seminars average one to two hours and prices average $99 to $199, depending on session length. Visit http://www.avatech.com/training/seminar to find out more.
