First: The Bottom Line...  Why should you use our services ?
Your company has spent a considerable amount of money bringing computer technology into the work place. It only makes sense to make sure that the people using the technology are given the best possible training in order to develop the best possible skills. If value is your priority, then PCES is your source. We invite you to consider the points listed below that explain why PCES training is indeed the best computer training... anywhere.

We offer high-quality, hands-on, skill-developing courses that will provide practical computer abilities and understanding for your immediate use. We specialize in training the corporate community in the use of Windows-based programs. Attending our courses will soon demonstrate the superior quality and effectiveness possible through our "unique" training environment which allows us to provide more topics in greater depth than other training companies in the one-day-at-a-time format.

Our nineteen year tenure in the computer training business, and especially our unmatched experience in delivering the small group training format, has created a reputation for quality and consistency that keeps our clients coming back. We have proven many times over the years that our methods and materials are effective to all levels of computer users. Those with strong aptitudes for this kind of subject matter will be able to learn from anyone. However, they will learn more from us because we not only design more material into our day of training, but also provide more depth to each topic than anyone else. Those with weak aptitudes for this kind of subject matter will be left behind in the typical twelve to twenty person class because no instructor can manage much of a variance of ability in classes of that size. In our classes the instructor can devote more attention to those having difficulty because of the more manageable size. No one gets left behind. Our clients quickly realize that our structure and methods are effective where others are not, and that they are superior where others are merely adequate.


What Is Unique About The PCES Training System ?
Our long term success in corporate computer training is directly related to the quality of our services. We control the environment for your benefit. This includes the instructor, the student to teacher ratio, the course material, the hands-on skills-based training methods and the unparalleled level of follow-up technical support.

Why Have A Low Student to Teacher Ratio ?
A small group class gives the instructor the ability to give the most attention possible to each individual student. This will maximize the successful completion of the course work by each person in the class regardless of aptitude and experience. Everyone in our industry claims to offer "small classes" to ensure individual attention. At PCES we do not consider a fifteen to twenty person class "small." Our classes are closed once enrollment reaches six people. Considering the visual nature of Windows and Windows-based applications it is especially necessary for the instructor to be able to observe the activity on each person's monitor to ensure that the teacher's instructions and the course's exercises are being executed properly. Individual assistance becomes possible without slowing the pace of the class unnecessarily with this environment. This uniquely small size is the foundation upon which the rest of our system enables us to give you more material, better exercises and greater depth, resulting in superior computer skills and understanding.

How is The Course Material Superior ?
Starting with the truly small group class structure, we can now cover more material in the same one day format. More course content means not only more topics, but also more detail and more depth to these topics. As today's state-of-the-art business applications become more powerful and more versatile, gaining an understanding of the options available to you becomes more crucial. Our course manuals are designed to assist the student during the class exercises, provide a place for notes and comments, and most importantly, to serve as a well organized reference source as the material is applied on the job.

Who Are The Instructors ?
All PCES instructors are computer training professionals. Our staff are not only experts in the software they teach, but also understand the learning process. All are very patient, enthusiastic people with strong communication skills. The same people who teach the classes also provide the telephone support services, so that the same technical know-how you had in class is still available to you after class.

Corporate Experience
PCES has successfully brought increased productivity through our training services to both large and small organizations in such fields as manufacturing, insurance, health care, banking, law, public accounting, retail, construction, non-profit, investments, publishing, transportation, financial services, hotels, management consulting, real estate, environmental, entertainment, travel, government, communications, e-commerce and others.
