Our offerings of MicroCourses in eBook, Audio CD, MP3, and DVD format allows Clients to learn the specific skills they need with a minimum commitment of time, at their convenience, with no travel, and at a reasonable cost. We also plan to reach out to our clients with a variety of other programs provided by MindBiz and our Affiliates, including Articles, Newsletters, Research Reports, Online Tools, Book Reviews, Seminars, Conferences, Teleconferences, Recorded Courses, Coaching, and Books.
At MindBiz, we are continually upgrading our courseware to reflect the interests of our Clients and to integrate leading edge research in our field. The introduction of Internet based e-Learning and MicroCourses are examples of our forward progress in training delivery and effectiveness. Adapting techniques used in Information Technology, MindBiz has also developed a proprietary Product Development Life Cycle that enables us to design courses once for delivery over multiple mediums and to reverse-engineer existing courses into e-Learning structure. This is what makes MindBiz special in the minds of our Clients and Affiliate Partners. Our Organization consists of a Core Team of Master Trainers with years of experience researching and training worldwide and a Virtual Team of talented Lecturers, Instructional Designers, Writers, and Technologists.
