Flexible course schedules allow you to acquire valued new skills
around your daily schedule. Targeting learning means you learn what
you need to
learn without wasting your time with what you may already know. New
Horizons knows that time is money and Mentored Learning allows you
to maintain productivity, schedule around deadlines while increasing
your capabilities. Certified instructors are available to answer
questions and ensure your comprehension of the course material.
The Mentored Learning Approach
Mentored Learning is an on-demand delivery model, you
determine when you attend training and for how long. Each
workstation contains your own to computer to work on where you can
access the course content: video, text and audio and also have
access to the production environment so you can practice your skills
at any time during the course. This allows you to fast-forward
through areas, or stop the content and practice a concept hands-on
as many times as you need. This increases knowledge retention and
the ability to apply your newly acquired knowledge on the job.
Focused Learning
Skill sets are assessed prior to training to identify the
gap between your current level of knowledge and required level of
knowledge. Your learning path can then be customized to specifically
fill that knowledge gap. You are completely in charge of the pace of
the course and the content covered so you can focus only what you
need to learn.
“Mentored Learning gave me
the chance to focus on the sections of the course that will have the
greatest impact on my production environment.” – Stephen Bonomo,
Syracuse University.
One-On-One Mentoring
Certified Instructors are present to provide ongoing coaching,
support and guidance throughout your training. Mentors can answer
questions and provide additional instruction when needed to help
increase your comprehension and retention of the course material.
“Having the Mentor in the
room was a huge benefit because he was able to answer any questions that
I had while relating those questions to real-world examples to reinforce
the topic of the question.” - Michael E. Baker, Computer
Specialist, Cornell University
Flexible Scheduling
Flexible course schedules allow you to get that added skill set
while maintaining your daily schedule. For instance, the training
schedule can be built around a work schedule so productivity in the
workplace is maintained.
“The flexible hours allow me
to come and go as I need to handle other issues that may pop up in my
daily routine.” - Michael J. Meadows, MCSE

Mentored
Learning (ML) vs.
Traditional Instructor-Led Learning (ILT)
The Mentored Learning Approach
stems from the need of our students to obtain the same quality
instruction that is provided in a more Traditional Learning
Classroom quicker and at a pace more suitable to their skills
and comprehension level.
What we have found is that most of
our students actually prefer this learning method over the
traditional environment. It's easier, quicker and more
effective than traditional instructor-led learning.
Below is a comparison of what is
included in the 2 learning environments:
