Mastering Your Android Phone

Embrace the Tech! Mastering Your Android Phone

We live in a golden age when it comes to technology. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that, not too long ago, cell phones were bigger than your shoe and only the rich and important could afford one. These days, the average person carries more computing power in their pocket or purse than what NASA used to land a man on the moon!

But for some, all this tech can be a little daunting. If SMS* leaves you SMH** or if you need help bringing a parent or grandparent up to speed so they can stay in touch, we have the solution for you.

“Embrace the Tech” is a master class in smartphone knowhow. Here, you will find everything you need to know when it comes to your Android operating systems (sure, all androids are different but they contain the same basic functionalities). In this class we cover it all from button functions, screen gestures and settings, to sending and receiving messages and emails and finding, adding and creating contacts. Plus, you’ll learn to utilize everything from navigation and maps to taking great pictures and video. And we’ll give you tons of little tips and tricks that will surprise even the most seasoned user so you can show them up for a change.

Oh, and we’ll show you how to make calls too.

EXPERT INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING

Our Courseware uses only the industry’s finest instructors. They have a minimum of 15 years real-world experience and are subject matter experts in their fields. Unlike a live class, you can fast-forward, repeat or rewind all your lectures. This creates a personal learning experience and gives you all the benefit of hands-on training with the flexibility of doing it around your schedule 24/7.

VISUAL DEMONSTRATIONS & MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS

Our courseware includes instructor-led demonstrations and visual presentations that allow students to develop their skills based on real world scenarios explained by the instructor. Our Courseware always focuses on real world scenarios and skill-set development.

QUIZZES & EXAM SIMULATORS

Our custom practice exams prepare you for your exams differently and more effectively than the traditional exam preps on the market. You will have practice quizzes after each module to ensure you are confident on the topic you have completed before proceeding.

This will allow you to gauge your effectiveness before moving to the next module in your course. Our Courses also include practice exams designed to replicate and mirror the environment in the testing centre. These exams are on average 100 questions to ensure you are 100% prepared before taking your certification exam.

SOCIAL LEARNING & NETWORKING

We Have designed a world class Learning Management System (LMS) This system allows you to interact and collaborate with other students, form study groups, engage in discussions in our NOW@ Forums, rate and “like” different courses and stay up to date with all the latest industry knowledge through our forums, student contributions and announcement features. This LMS is unmatched in the industry and makes learning fun and enjoyable.

FLASH CARDS & EDUCATIONAL GAMES

Our Courseware knows that education is not a one size fits all approach. Students learn in different ways through different tools. That is why we provide Flash Cards and Education Games throughout our courses. This will allow you to train in ways that keep you engaged and focused. Each course will have dozens of Flash Cards so you can sharpen your skill-sets throughout your training as well as educational games designed to make sure your retention level of the materials is extremely high.

NAVIGATION & CONTROLS

Our self-paced training programs are designed in a modular fashion to allow you the flexibility to work with expert level instruction anytime 24/7. All courses are arranged in defined sections with navigation controls allowing you to control the pace of your training. This allows students to learn at their own pace around their schedule.

12 MONTHS UNLIMITED ACCESS

Each student will have 12 months unlimited access to allow you to have access to the training anytime 24/7.
