RAND Worldwide is One of the World’s Leading Providers of Professional Services and Technology to the Engineering Community. With the expertise of over 120 technical experts, RAND Worldwide provides innovative solutions that radically improve the way our clients design, develop, and manage projects, products, and facilities.

Why Invest in Training? Our Training Systems team is committed to providing our clients with the most extensive, high-quality professional development programs in the industry. Our focus is to provide clients with the knowledge to use their software in the most proficient and productive manner. By offering standard and custom training programs through a variety of delivery methods, we provide clients with the highest level of skill they need to bring better products to market, more quickly and efficiently.

Technical training helps you gain greater return on investment from your engineering application deployment. It has been proven that productivity decreases up to 25% when you first introduce a new software tool to your team, meaning it takes one and a quarter times longer to complete a task than it did before the new software. With the proper professional training, you’ll reduce the time spent learning the new software and quickly generate a higher productivity level than that of self-taught users.

Did you know...

Untrained users can take up to six times longer than trained employees to perform the same tasks?

Training enhances employee retention? A Harris Poll conducted by Louis Harris and Associates says that among employees who say their company offers poor or no training, 41% plan to leave within a year. Of those that say their company offers excellent training, 88% say they plan to stay.

In-house training costs almost 75% more than outsourced training?

Just a 2% increase in productivity has been shown to net a 100% return on investment in outsourced, instructor-led training?

A four-year study by the American Society of Training and Development shows that firms that invest $1,500 per employee in training compared to those that spend $125 experience on average 24% higher gross profit margins and 218% higher income per employee?

Our Unique Learning ApproachTraining today typically consists of attending a class and receiving a certificate for attendance. But there is no confirmation that the actual level of understanding and retention reached the intended level. In order to best meet the diverse needs of our clients, we recommend a blended approach to learning.

Blended TrainingOur training programs are designed to increase on-the-job productivity by identifying and addressing specific skill gaps inherent in traditional training programs. We blend in-class, expert-led training, technology-based training, knowledge assessment tools, and targeted learning to create the most thorough learning environment available.

Expert-Led Classes at RAND WorldwideMany of our classes are offered at our offices located throughout North America by our own full-time Technical Training Engineers, who are certified in instructional delivery and experts in the software application. It is for this reason that we often refer to our instructor-led training as Expert-Led training, because our classes are led by Subject-Matter Experts. Their focus is on increasing job productivity by applying best-usage instruction, not on learning theory.

CERTIFIED CURRICULUM

Quality curriculum is a top priority for RAND Worldwide, which is why we developed a separate curriculum division: ASCENT– Center for Technical Knowledge®.

Our practical industry examples found within the curriculum are used in the classroom to replicate situations users will encounter back on the job and to enhance the overall learning experience.

When students take a class with RAND Worldwide, they will receive a manual that includes background material and exercises on key aspects of the course topics. These manuals are invaluable for classroom use and also make excellent reference materials for post-class use.
