Dallas, Texas - April 14, 2003: Traveling Coaches, Inc. has just released a collection of modular training programs known as Continued Learning and Software Skills or “CLASS™.” Renowned in the legal industry as a top provider of application training services, Traveling Coaches has responded to the growing demand among law firms for a training product that can be brought in-house and used effectively for a variety of internal purposes. CLASS™ is a legal-specific, hands-on training program designed to teach legal users how to get the most out of their desktop tools. It provides solutions for firms looking for a firm-wide training program, single practice area or new hire training, as well as feature specific reinforcement.

With CLASS™, Traveling Coaches offers a product that provides the legal-specific content along with the flexibility of a modular format. Each course offered within CLASS™ is composed of short, one and a half hour modules. These modules can therefore be scheduled and attended with the least amount of work disruption, or they can be scheduled back-to-back for concentrated, firm-wide or new hire training. As stated by Charlene Traynor, co-owner and Director of Training for Traveling Coaches, “The most remarkable characteristic of CLASS™  is its legal-specific content. Legal users draw upon specific applications features and utilize them to the max for complex documents. Effective training, therefore, must address those specific needs. CLASS™  does just that and does it with flexibility. I wish a product like this had been available when I was overseeing a legal training department.”

CLASS™ is extremely cost effective in that it provides a complete training package. In addition to the training guide, each module includes CLASS Notes (Quick Reference Card); independent, legal specific exercises along with an answer key; training outline; PowerPoint introduction and review; sign-in sheet; and a course evaluation. It would literally consume countless hours and tremendous sums of money for an organization to create an internal training program as complete and as of high a caliber as CLASS™.

Delivered in soft copy to the client, CLASS™ provides quality components with the flexibility to customize their contents, including headers, footers, and screen shots so the Best Practices and identity of the firm are truly reflected. In addition, the site license, which belongs to the client, allows for the reproduction of its contents as often and for as many employees as needed.

CLASS™ offers courses on a wide variety of desktop applications commonly used in law firms, including the Microsoft products of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Additional CLASS™ topics include Hummingbird DM; iManage DeskSite, WorkDocs, WorkTeam and FileSite; SoftWise MacroSuite, NumberingSuite, Innova, Sequentia and Out of Sight; Microsystems DocXstyles; Levit & James Stylizer and Workshare Technology Deltaview.
