Bright Ideas Computer Training System

Why Our "Super Recall" Training System Is So Effective

The Bright Ideas training system is based on research that shows how people learn and retain information most effectively.

The first, most important, factor in effective training is relevance. When you see the relevance in what you're learning, you'll be motivated to learn it and retain it.

Our instructors show how each new computer skill can be used to make your day-to-day work easier. When you (or your employees) see how much time and effort they can save, it will be easy to get motivated to learn and use the new skill.

Another key concept is "spaced learning". If you learn a new concept, but you don't use it immediately, your retention drops like a stone:

As soon as the learning events end, forgetting begins.

But if you require trainees to recall and retrieve information regularly over widely spaced intervals, the "forgetting curve" is drastically improved, resulting in up to 85% retention:

Spaced learning on the job turns the forgetting curve into a learning-and-forgetting curve, improving memory.

When you train with us, you'll get relevant training right off the bat. Then, with weekly and bi-weekly follow-ups, as well as email hints and tips, you'll make the most of your training dollar. When you get effective training, you'll actually save money!
