What is modular training?

Telvent’s GIS education team has a unique approach to technical software education: modular components. Students receive instruction in a standard set of ArcFM component topics, which ensures reliable and consistent training from user to user, and class to class.

How flexible is your training program?

If you choose to conduct training at your site, Telvent’s Tailored Training option allows you considerable flexibility of course content. Because each topic series in our courses is independent of the others, it is possible to tailor your client-site training towards the specific requirements of your end-users. You may choose to augment the core topic components with the standard components, or add components from our growing library of available topics.

What is tailored training?

Telvent is aware that the GIS industry is evolving, and therefore we provide tailored training programs to fit your organization's needs. For more information on training options and costs, contact the education team at Telvent.

Can the training grow with my company?

We realize that just because you may only have two users now, doesn't mean you won't have 100 users later. The component structure of our training allows for new users to be introduced to ArcFM tools, and familiar users to take advantage of new components.

What kind of training is right for me and my organization?

Whether you have one user or 100, whether you require immediate standard training or fully customized training materials, Telvent’s GIS training program offers a solution for your specific needs. The following scenarios will assist you in formulating a training option for your situation.
