February 26, 2007, DALLAS, TX - Traveling Coaches, the nationally recognized training, application integration and consulting partner to law firms and corporate legal departments, today announced that San Francisco-based Townsend and Townsend and Crew 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 100 law firms and corporate legal departments consisting of more than 42,000 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.”

Matt Fuller, Applications Trainer at Townsend, explains “CLASS and CLASSe are just what the trainer ordered. We are thrilled to partner with Traveling Coaches as we embark on a new learning management system at Townsend and Townsend and Crew. The CLASS and CLASSe course content is fresh and current and written by those who understand the training challenges faced in a modern law firm.”

CLASS currently consists of 139 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, Townsend will be able to provide end-users with a consistent training message through the instructor, reference materials and eLearning lessons.

“We offer firms great training materials written by legal technology experts who have a passion for developing the best of breed tools allowing trainers to maximize their educational programs,” added Charlene Traynor, Director of Training and User Support Services for Traveling Coaches. “CLASS modules provide a total solution for the classroom including training guides, hands-on exercises and quick reference cards while CLASSe briefs provide the interactivity and self-paced learning that attorneys and staff alike will use again and again.”
