Tec-Ease has done its homework in this area. We ensure that the students are being engaged in effective learning by using techniques that require the use of both the right and left-brain.

Process checks are used during the training to make certain the learning process is meeting everyone's needs.

Upon request, Tec-Ease is happy to provide pre-and post-testing. We also provide a free on-line test to help with self-assessment. It allows people to assess their own understanding of the subject.

4 - Will you customize the training?

If time allows, Tec-Ease will not only incorporate your prints into the training, we will also answer your questions, not just discuss the symbology. You will be guided on how to capture design intent while meeting quality, cost and delivery requirements. We welcome discussions about your parts as we feel it is a good way to "bring home" certain points. If you would like to speak with your coach prior to the training, we would like to speak with you. This ensures that any specific questions you may have are covered during the course.

We will carry that into the training with in-process checks and time for discussions. This service will continue after the training by encouraging you to call us with your quick questions. We are passionate about this subject and want to make sure that your company is using it correctly and reaping the benefits of this powerful tool.
