Why Choose NPC for Professional Development
(Back to Top)
We do not charge a per-student fee! NPC provides all services on an hourly time-and-materials—this includes training! We charge per hour of classroom or training time and time invested in special preparation. This means that if you need to train 15 people for 3 hours how to use the same features of a program, you pay for 3 hours, not for 15 people.
Training need not be "canned!" The training you purchase is developed to meet your needs, delivered on-site in your environment using your software and hardware tools. Because your employees are in familiar territory, they can focus on learning new skills instead of on how to use an unfamiliar computer or network setup.
Use equipment and software you are familiar with! We don't force you into using a particular type of computer, operating system or version of software that you don't already use, or never intend to own.
An Example A local training provider charges $40/head for a 3-hour course in basic word processing, it will cost you $600! Further, you don't need the whole basic course, but just parts of it. Your staff already knows the fundamentals. But, you still pay for the parts you don't need. Finally, you need to go to their site—and likely use computers, an operating system version and a version of that word processor that you don't own. So, you pay that $600 for material you don't need using equipment and software your staff won't be using back in the office. |
