Mentored Learning

Focused learning. One-on-one mentoring. Flexible scheduling. 
New Horizons Mentored Learning method puts time back in your hands. Flexible course schedules allow you to acquire valued new skills around your daily schedule. Targeting learning means you learn what you need to learn without wasting your time with what you may already know. Certified instructors are available to answer questions and ensure your comprehension of the course material.

The Mentored Learning Approach 

Mentored Learning is an on-demand delivery model, you determine when you attend training and for how long. Each workstation contains two computer monitors. On one, you can access the course content: video, text and audio. On the other monitor, you have access to the production environment so you can practice your skills at any time during the course. This allows you to fast-forward through areas, or stop the content and practice a concept hands-on as many times as you need. This increases knowledge retention and the ability to apply your newly acquired knowledge on the job.

Focused Learning

Skill sets are assessed prior to training to identify the gap between your current level of knowledge and required level of knowledge. Your learning path can then be customized to specifically fill that knowledge gap. You are completely in charge of the pace of the course and the content covered so you can focus on only what you need to learn.

“Mentored Learning gave me the chance to focus on the sections of the course that will have the greatest impact on my production environment.” – Stephen Bonomo, Syracuse University.

One-On-One Mentoring

Certified Instructors are present to provide ongoing coaching, support and guidance throughout your training. Mentors can answer questions and provide additional instruction when needed to help increase your comprehension and retention of the course material.

“Having the Mentor in the room was a huge benefit because he was able to answer any questions that I had while relating those questions to real-world examples to reinforce the topic of the question.” - Michael E. Baker, Computer Specialist, Cornell University

Flexible Scheduling
 
Flexible course schedules allow you to get that added skill set while maintaining your daily schedule. For instance, the training schedule can be built around a work schedule so productivity in the workplace is maintained.

“The flexible hours allow me to come and go as I need to handle other issues that may pop up in my daily routine.” - Michael J. Meadows, MCSE
