How Ascent Technology approaches training

Ascent Technology offers seminar-style and small-group training courses for the SmartAirline Operations Center solution, the SmartAirport Operations Center solution, and the Ascent WorkZone workforce-management system.

Seminar-style courses consist of lectures and demonstrations. They accommodate many trainees at once, have no pre-requisites, and are not computationally intensive.

For example, our trainers use seminar-style courses to present overviews of product functionality to people who want to learn what the products do at a high level. In these courses, people learn about the benefits of using the products, but do not learn how to use the products in day-to-day operation.

Our trainers also use seminar-style courses to show many workers at once how to use the worker-centric portions of the ARIS/WorkNet bid and trade manager and the ARIS/WorkRelay task and attendance monitor. Trainers provide additional one-on-one training as workers practice using the products on nearby workstations.

Small-group courses consist of lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and extended hands-on practice sessions. In general, the courses accommodate four trainees for each trainer so the trainer can provide personal instruction to each trainee. The courses are interactive, computationally intensive, and, typically, require trainees to have basic computer skills, such as knowing how to:

  • Start up a personal computer
  • Sign in with a user name and a password
  • Start up and shut down computer programs
  • Use a keyboard and a mouse
  • Retrieve and save files
  • Gain access to the internet
  • Send files to printers
  • Shut down a personal computer

Ascent Technology recommends that training occur shortly before you place the solution in production use. During the period between the end of training and the start of production use, it is often helpful for trainees to practice using the product to improve skills and build confidence. If more than a few weeks pass between the end of training and the start of production use, refresher training may be needed.
