ISA Training course catalogue released
The ISA Training Institute has released its latest course catalogue, detailing more than 300 instructor-led, CD-ROM, online, web-based, and video courses, from August 2003 to March 2004
At the time of the launch, ISA also began working with third-party content providers to develop over 150 CD-ROM training products, covering 26 subjects.
This week, ISA announced an upgrade to their learning management system, ensuring more features and administrative options for students and managers.
Continuing the ISA relationships with third-party vendors, course offerings have now been expanded to over 300 courses on-line and on CD-ROM.
The ISA distance education programme, now termed ISA CyberU, features on-line courses, CD-ROM training, brand new DVD courses, video training and web seminar courses covering the world of automation.
Specific curricula offered by ISA CyberU cover automation and control, basic workplace skills, electrical maintenance, machine technology, maintenance troubleshooting, mechanical maintenance, predictive maintenance, and preparation for the ISA CCST and CIMM exams.
In conjunction with the upgrades to the ISA CyberU learning management system, ISA is also working with a third-party vendor to design a CIMM (Certified Industrial Maintenance Mechanic) needs assessment tool.
An on-line testing vehicle, the tool will enable individuals to measure their progress and identify areas for improvement when preparing to take the exam.
"Ultimately, these upgrades and changes are a result of our dedication to meeting the needs of our customers," said Dale Lee, Director of Education Services at ISA.
"We realize that training and travel budgets across the world are being cut, and it's important that we continue to offer quality, cost efficient training programmes that don't require a travel budget.".
