Bison offers
a variety of training programs to suit your needs related to your
unique operating environment. Training is generally done at your
site and at a time that is convenient to you. You are required
to provide a quiet and comfortable training space with a projection
screen and table for instructor use. The usual class size is 20
attendees. Training can also be extended to the shop floor for
actual, hands on demonstrations. Adequate time must be allocated
to present the appropriate material. Bison will assist in assessing
your workplace training needs and proposing a program along with
a quotation.
Training can also be done at Bison for a group size up to 10 members.
Presentations
are made using PowerPoint slide projections with continual instructor
commentary, examples and demonstration pieces. Open discussion
and audience questions are encouraged. Each participant receives
a bound booklet with a copy of each slide so that they can follow
along and make notes during the presentation. The session ends
with a test of their comprehension of the material that has been
presented.
A certificate of achievement is provided for all attendees who
pass the test.
