More of a group learner?
Studies suggest that learning in a group can be more beneficial than solo study for many people. Motivation to keep up with the class, as well as out-loud discussion of concepts can serve to keep you more focused.
If that’s the case, why not join one of our open courses, run virtually via Webex or located in your capital city? One of our experienced trainers will lead you and your fellow estimators through features of an Introductory, Intermediate or Advanced level. After each lesson, you will be assigned to a computer to work through the training exercises. The instructor will be there to provide assistance, and you will be able to ask questions and listen to queries from other attendees.
It’s also a great networking opportunity, spending a day with professionals from the industry, making contacts in other companies.
