What is your instruction method?
Confucius, an ancient Chinese philosopher, is
known to have said, “I read and I forget, I see and I remember,
I do and I understand.” Our patent-pending methodology is based
on learning through concrete interactive experiences. The senses of
sight and sound have been incorporated with interactive discussions
as well as humor to make every lesson relevant as well as entertaining.
Practical tools to target specific skills are provided to help develop
habits.

What kind of courses can I take?
Courses in leadership, management, technical, or compliance can be taken without any restrictions. For the most current list of courses offered, please refer to our Catalog. Additionally, our architecture is designed to dynamically create and deliver multi-media web pages; therefore, any of your courses can be converted and delivered through our LCMS (Learning Content Management System).
Top
How are your courses different from your competitors?
We have a patent-pending methodology that is very effective and is based on years of research and best practices. All of our courses are interactive and flexible, which makes learning fun, effective, and efficient. We provide blended learning as well as collaborative learning.
Top
What is the duration of each course?
From the date you start the course, you have 6 weeks to complete it. Depending on the course, each one is designed to take from 5 to 15 clock hours to
complete. Although you may determine your own pace,
for optimal benefit we recommend you pace yourself through each lesson, participating in the Community Forum and integrating the skills chosen from each lesson into your daily life using
the skill-building tools provided. We suggest that you pace yourself
to complete the online course within 3-5 weeks of your start date. This
would mean spending approximately 15-30 minutes each day, 3-5 days a week. If not completed 6 weeks from the start date the course expires and will need to be purchased again in order to get your certificate.
Top
Will I get a course certificate?
Yes. Upon successful course completion, you will receive an online, printable certificate from Empowered Training Centre, LLC. The certificate will indicate
the number of clock hours of training you have completed and the equivalent
number of CEUs (Continuing Education Units) accumulated.
Top
What is the tuition cost for each course?
Cost for on-site courses varies based on number of employees,
location, and the duration of training. For pricing details, please
