Onsite Courses and Course Customization
Onsite Education

tailored course to meet the educational needs of your development and
project teams. All of the instructor-led offerings can be delivered onsite
as long as your facility meets the technical specifications required to
host the class. For more information on the requirements for onsite training,

Course Customization
MicroStrategy Education Services strives to provide whatever training
is necessary to ensure our customers' and partners' success. For instance,
we provide developers with the skills they need to accomplish their tasks.
While our standard instructor-led course offerings meet those needs in
the majority of cases, topics often must be rearranged to ensure that
the whole development team is proficient in the tool. Creating a custom
course that includes personally relevant topics is a great way to increase
students' understanding and retention of the material. Customized
courses are also very common when training the end user community.
We have found that end users benefit greatly from customized courseware
that contains a significant amount of business context.
By choosing MicroStrategy and leveraging our existing courseware templates
as the foundation to your custom curriculum, you will be able to deploy
a quality training solution in a fraction of the time it would take if
you had to create the training materials from scratch. The modular format
of our course offerings makes it easy to draw content from multiple courses
and incorporate the customer's data and reports into the instructor-led
material. The instructional design styles and standards of our staff have
resulted in the creation of dynamic and interactive courses, which have
proven effective for more than 10,000 people. MicroStrategy strongly recommends
that these same course templates be used as the foundation for any customized
training course.
Why should you pursue customized training for
your end users?
Customized end user training will:
- Ensure end user acceptance while mitigating risk
- Increase student interest and material retention
- Provide a reusable training solution as user base grows
- Result in customized courseware owned and maintained by you, the customer
How does MicroStrategy provide
customized training?
There are several degrees of customization, from rearranging agendas,
to customizing the exercises, to complete course customization (exercises,
screen shots, business examples and text). For complete customization,
MicroStrategy also offers a Train-the-Trainer program to certify your
staff to deliver the course for ongoing user training. This is a very
cost-effective approach to training the masses. Course customization is
most common among the end user community, since they often need to see
data and reports relevant to them to learn the functionality of the MicroStrategy
Web product. For web end user training, MicroStrategy offers the Self-Service Program as an easy-to-deploy end user training solution.
To learn more about the degrees of customization, the Self-Service Program and the costs involved for such an effort, please contact
your Account Manager, Education Manager or Education Services at education@microstrategy.com
or 020 8396 0000.
