Our Approach to Training


With our eLearning courses, we bring the best

of our instructor led training to the eLearning

environment. Knowing that the experience of

taking a self-paced learning course is different

from a classroom course, we employ what we

call the Adaptive eLearning approach,modeled after our proven CAF approach.

In our Adaptive eLearning approach:

We adapt our course content philosophy fromCAF, showing learners the big picture and

bringing in relevant details.

We adapt review methods from our instruc-

tor led philosophies using summaries and

review questions.

We adapt to the nature of the self-paced

environment by using frequent interactions

ranging from review questions to humor to

keep the learner engaged.

The courses use a variety of multimedia

facilities which makes them suitable for

every learning style. Learners also have

control over when and how they cover the

course material.

We structure our eLearning courses into

shorter Knowledge Knuggets. Learners

can come and go as schedules permit,

while minimizing the course material they

have to revisit. In the eLearning CAF,

smaller Knuggets are easier to digest!

By incorporating time-tested concepts from the

classroom with the multimedia and interactiv-

ity available through software, our eLearning

courses provide a rich and individual learning

experience.

Instructor led

Award Solutions instructor led onsite and vir-

tual classroom training philosophy is centered

around the CAF method, where we bringyou Content, Analogies, Flexibility, and Exper-

tise.

Content: Our focus has always been on provid-ing the in-depth technical content thats valu-

able to the students. Going beyond the facts,

we pull the details together to explain how

they relate, why one option was chosen overanother, and other technologies that need to be

considered.

Analogies: We also concentrate on variousways to simplify complex technologies so they

are easier for students to grasp. Analogies in

our courses are abundant and easy to compre-

hend, relating concepts to real-life scenarios. It

makes learning simple and fun.

Flexibility: All clients needs are not thesame, so exibility is key to our instructor

led training. We offer customized courses, ex-

ibility in scheduling, the choice of onsite or

virtual classroom training, and other options to

ensure that we can provide the right content

to the right students at the right time. In

addition, Award instructors use the knowledge

they gain during class interactions to direct the

course while it is in progress. We like to say

that every course from Award Solutions is a

custom course.

Expertise: Award Solutions courses are

designed, developed and delivered by our ownindustry experts who have a wealth of industry

experience and a passion for teaching. Award

instructors also lend their expertise to Award

Solutions Engineering Services projects, which

keeps their knowledge current, practical and

relevant.

At Award Solutions, we understand that the

instructor led learning environment is different

from a self-paced one. Therefore, we approach

each method from a different angle to meet its

unique requirements. By maximizing the effec-

tiveness of the learning experience, we aim

to give you an excellent return on your invest-

ment.

Instructor led Onsite Training

Award Solutions offers onsite technical courses

in wireless technologies and data communi-

cations. Our courses range from introductory

to advanced levels brimming with technical

details. Our instructors travel to your facility to

engage the students in an interactive learning

experience.

The level of technical depth in our advanced

technology training courses is unique to the

marketplace. Award is known for teaching

beyond the facts. We bring you the big

picture view, and explain the hows and thewhys, along with the factual details. When

they complete a course, our students tell us

they have a good understanding of the tech-

nology, feel that their questions have been

answered, and can immediately apply their

newly acquired knowledge to become more

productive.

Our instructors blend accurate, relevant con-

tent with insightful analogies and a touch of

humor, which provides students with a rich

learning experience. They also tailor the con-

tent during class to the background and experi-

ence of the students. By focusing on areas

important to the audience, they ensure that

the students receive exactly what they need.

Audience

Award Solutions delivers exceptional training

solutions to participants with diverse back-

grounds and expectations. We are able to

delight executives and managers who are inter-

ested in an end-to-end view of the networkarchitecture as well as design engineers desir-

ing a signicant level of detail on specic por-

tions of the network. Together we nd the best

solution for you and your team.

Benets of Onsite Trainingfrom Award Solutions

Our instructors are industry experts. They know

and teach the theory as well as the practical

applications. They have worked in the industry,

and continue to apply their expertise as con-

sultants at Award. After completing the course,

students not only understand how the technol-

ogy works, but also how to apply it.

Our course content provides a comprehensive

discussion designed to cover all the technicalinformation relevant to the topic. At the start

of class, the instructor asks the students what

they expect to learn in the course. During

class, the instructor customizes the presenta-

tion to emphasize the areas of interest to the

audience. This way, the students objectives

are met.

Our courses focus on end-to-end scenarios and

how details t together to form the big picture.

Our ability to go from the 50,000 foot level

to the nuts and bolts of the technology is an

asset to the students learning experience. This

means they not only learn about this technol-

ogy, but also how it might interact with other

relevant protocols, technologies, etc.

Our instructors use innovative educational

techniques to create an interactive envi-

ronment that promotes discussion and knowl-

edge retention, including:

Guided discussions

Real-world examples, analogies, and

anecdotes

Animated presentations and whiteboarddiscussions

Q & A sessions

Students can get their questions answered by

the instructor during class, in one-on-one ses-

sions during breaks, and before/after class.

our course content to meet your specic

needs.

5 days, as appropriate to the course mate-

rial.

We can also integrate our training programs

with your product specic information to

deliver exceptional training solutions for

your customers or employees.

Award Solutions realizes onsite training is not

always feasible for our clients. Thats why we

also offer online Webinar courses.

What is a Webinar?

The Webinar format refers to delivering

live training courses over the Internet using

Web-based multimedia tools. From their own

computers, students and instructors can log

in to the server hosting the virtual classroom.

Therefore, students can participate in webinarsfrom within their natural habitats!

The instructor acts as a moderator with special

privileges to host the session. The instructor

can share the presentation material, promote

discussion, and conduct Q & A reviews. Stu-

dents can also ask questions during the session.

The Webinar environment adds a new dimen-

sion of learning and a different level of inter-

activity that creates an effective solution to

meet your training needs.

Flexible Delivery Options

Award Solutions is exible and can meet your

requirements when it comes to using the right

online classroom application. In fact, we can

simply integrate our course material with your

preferred solution. We also can provide our

own Web-based classroom solution. Even in

a remote environment, we deliver the same

excellent quality and benets as an onsite

learning experience.

Benets of Webinars fromAward Solutions

Award Solutions brings all the benets of

instructor led onsite training to the Webinar

environment. In addition, the Webinar

technology offers the following advantages.

Clients save on expenses since there are no

instructor and student travel-related costs.

Also, the audience can be geographically

distributed. As a result, productivity and

learning are both maximized.

Content can be delivered based on client

schedules - a few hours a day through the

course of a week is recommended. This allows

students to continue with their work responsi-

bilities without compromising critical training.

The online format enables our instructors to

bring in references live during class. Stu-

dents can view technical standards and Web

references right on their screen.

Training is available to global audiences. With

the right software tools, Webinar classrooms

can be accessed anywhere by anyone with

online access.

Audience

The nature of the Webinar environment is ideal

for audiences working in different geographic

locations. It also suits audiences in the same

location. Students can be in the same train-

ing room while the instructor is at a differentsite.

Student Guide

Award Solutions distributes the same illus-

trated course books as with our onsite training.

Students can preview the material before the

course and follow along in the book during the

course for a richer experience.

Additional Support

As with our onsite training, students can email

the instructors with technical questions after

the course.

Course Length

Award Solutions Webinars are customized to

meet student needs.

Standard Courses

Award Solutions standard courses are typically

split into multiple half-day sessions.

Course Overviews

These Webinars provide a compact overview ofcurrent technologies. Typically no longer than

90 minutes, they work well for those who do

not need a lot of detail on a technology, and

for those who eventually need more detail but

want an early look today.Customized Solutions

Award Solutions offers the same customiz-

able service for a Webinar environment as

for onsite training.

Award Solutions exibility in delivery methods

allows us to provide a blended training solu-

tion, offering you the option to choose a format

appropriate to your needs. Thats why each of

Awards course curriculums includes eLearning

offerings in addition to traditional instructor

led courses.

What is an eLearning Coursefrom Award Solutions?

Designed to accommodate a wide variety oflearning styles, our eLearning courses take full

advantage of the multimedia medium. Each

course provides learners with full audio, nar-

rated text and colorful animations to enhance

the learning experience. Review questions in

a variety of formats test the learners under-

standing throughout each topic. Many courses

also offer the learners an opportunity to dig

deeper into topics. Also, every eLearning

course allows learners to navigate through the

courses according to their own interests and

needs, rather than in a strictly linear fash-

ion.

A scored, comprehensive quiz at the end of

each course allows the learners an opportunity

to assess their understanding. Feedback allows

them to automatically return to content that

needs further study.

Finally, our eLearning courses are designed with

busy schedules in mind. Courses are divided

into topics that the average learner can cover

in 15 minutes or fewer. Learners also have the

training literally at their ngertips; they canreview detailed subjects whenever they want,

and as often as needed, in order to digest all of

the information covered.

eLearning courses from Award Solutions are

fully integrated with leading AICC compliant

Learning Management Systems (LMS). The LMS

allows administrators to keep track of the

learners progress, scores, and the results of

the assessment test.

Benets of eLearning fromAward Solutions

Award Solutions eLearning courses are rich in

technical content. Courses are written by thesame industry experts who create the instruc-

tor led course material.

Courses are designed for the self-paced multi-

media learning environment and are not just

a translation of our instructor led course mate-

rial. We take advantage of the multimedia fea-

tures to enhance the learning experience for

the learner.

Engaging interactions promote high retention of

course information. They are used throughout

the course to reinforce key points.

Analogies and examples simplify technically

complex concepts.

Illustrations and animations graphically dem-

onstrate the subject matter, bringing difcult

concepts to life and ultimately making them

easier to understand.

Knowledge Knuggets are topics that typically

take 15 minutes or fewer to complete, allowing

learners to take breaks as needed. The esti-mated length of each Knugget is displayed in

the course next to the topic name.

Courses can easily be used for reference after

completion.

Audience

Award Solutions eLearning is designed to

target a wide range of learners. Our overview

courses are ideal foundation builders for

design engineers, as well as executives and

managers interested in an end-to-end view of

the network architecture. For those who desire

a greater level of detail on specic portions

of the network, we offer more advanced fol-

low-up courses (e.g., Radio Networks or Signal-

ing courses).

Delivery Methods

We can deliver courses in CD-ROM format,

place them on your webserver, or integrate

them with your Learning Management System.

Awards eLearning courses are compliant with

the AICC and SCORM Standards for Learning

Management Systems.

Recommended Course Flows

Course Flows for Engineeringand Operations (Operators andEquipment Vendors)

Engineering and operations Course Flows

offer more technical depth than those designed

for the Executive or Sales and Marketing

Course Flows.

For product managers, we offer Overview or

Exploring level courses, that contain more

system-level descriptions and include the howsand the whys of the technology, architecture,

and services. The objective is to help the stu-

dents understand the technology in a well-

rounded manner without going into the bits and

bytes of all the messages and protocols.

The most in-depth engineering courses, or

Mastering level courses, take it a step furthe

by including all the bits and bytes of the tech-

nical details. These courses are well-suited for

those in system design, system test, systems

engineering, network engineering and product

support.

In addition, Award Solutions offers courses in

some curriculums that focus on performance

and optimization issues. These courses are

designed for personnel involved during and

after systems deployment.

Engineering and Operations courses are typi-

cally 2 to 3 days in length.

Course Flow for Managementand Executives

These courses are designed with the executive

in mind. The focus is on dening the whats

- What is this technology? What are the key

features of this technology? What advantages

does it offer? What makes it different from

other technologies?

These courses also offer a great way for techni-

cal employees to learn the highlights of a dif-

ferent technology.

Executive courses are typically 1 day in length.

Course Flow for Sales andMarketing

Sales and marketing personnel are most effec-

tive when they know and understand their cus-

tomers needs. Most importantly, they need to

understand the services their customers need.

Our courses not only teach the whats, but

also emphasize the services they enable.

With the complexity of current and emerg-

ing networks, and interworking of wireless

networks and the Internet, sales and market-

ing people are faced with the challenge of

understanding how these new technologies play

together. Award Solutions offers special courses

that start with the basics of IP to build a solid

foundation before studying the more advanced

IP or wireless technologies.

Sales and Marketing courses are typically 1 to2 days in length.

Training Course Flows

Award Solutions teaches busy professionals

what they need, without the extra fat.

Therefore, we do not use the cookie-cutter

approach, a one-size-ts-all type of course.

Each course is designed for a specic target

audience. As a result, course topics are care-

fully selected to be relevant to that particular

audience.

Every professional needs different information

to be successful in his/her role. AwardSolutions understands and caters to the

needs of these different roles in various

organizations, such as:

Equipment Vendors (executives and

managers, designers, test and support

teams, sales and marketing, product

line management)

Service Providers (technology development

groups, core engineering, network opera-

tions, eld engineering, sales and

marketing)

Others such as application developers

and integrators, etc.

By recognizing that there are various job func-

tions within these organizations, Award Solu-

tions develops job-function directed courses.

Whether a student is a top-level executive,

a sales and marketing representative, or a

member of the technical team, there is a

course that ts just right for that individual.

Based on these categories, Award Solutions

has developed four recommended course ows.

However, there is no restriction to follow aspecic course ow. They are simply recom-

mended for your understanding of Award Solu-

tions intent in the ow of knowledge. Customized Solutions

Award Solutions is happy to customize our

course content to meet your specic needs.
