Key attributes:

Build on the content learned in the virtual class offerings and move into system integration of GE products to create customer solutions.
Both the Essentials and Advanced course follow this model with the advanced course building on the essentials course activities to build more complex solutions.
Both courses starts with an initial virtual class session. This is then followed with e-learning coursework and testing, leading to a second virtual classroom session and then a hands-on face to face workshop. We will conclude with a final test and a final virtual class to close out the course.
The aim of the final virtual session is to allow students time to reflect on the course and ask any question they might have about the course and its content.
Throughout the course students are encouraged to collaborate with the instructor and their peers through the collaboration tool.
Its all about learning, it is much more than a training course!
