Training options

On site: Training is delivered at the company's facility on the days and times requested by the customer.
On campus: Training is delivered at one of our campuses (Detroit Lakes, Fergus Falls, Moorhead or Wadena). This training option is effective when a client is planning company-wide training and needs a larger space, or when training requires specific equipment such as a computer lab. Training can be customized to meet the customer's needs with the amenities and convenience of utilizing our local campuses.
Online: Online training allows individuals to work at their own pace to complete programs and receive a certificate of completion or, in some instances, continuing education credits (CEUs). Online training is a viable option for individuals who need the flexibility or a more convenient method of training that works for their schedule.
