Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton Purchases Traveling Coaches’ CLASS and CLASSe
September 11, 2007, DALLAS, TX - Traveling Coaches, the nationally recognized training, application integration and consulting partner to law firms and corporate legal departments, today announced that New York-based Cleary Gottlieb has purchased Traveling Coaches’ CLASS and CLASSe content for the Firm’s on-going technology training program.
Traveling Coaches’ industry-leading CLASS (Continued Learning and Software Skills) program is a collection of high quality, modular, and legal specific technology training materials. Since its introduction three years ago, the wildly popular CLASS program has been implemented by over 125 law firms and corporate legal departments consisting of more than 55,000 users. As CLASS provides the materials for traditional classroom instruction, CLASSe facilitates a different style of training: just-in-time eLearning. A collection of short, interactive, online lessons called CLASSe Briefs, this program is ideal for busy attorneys and staff that need to learn how to accomplish specific tasks “on the fly.”
CLASS currently consists of 136 classroom modules covering topics from Microsoft Office applications to document management systems and Word productivity tools. The materials are customizable and designed to be used for university-style training programs. CLASSe Briefs are drawn from CLASS curriculum and offer the same high level of quality and consistency. By purchasing both products, Cleary Gottlieb will be able to provide end-users with a consistent training message through the instructor, reference materials and eLearning lessons.
“We’ve worked with several international firms in the past and we are thrilled to add Cleary Gottlieb to our growing list of CLASS customers,” said Gina Buser, President of Traveling Coaches.
