Any Place – Any Time
Jumpstart is the leader in onsite training in the Pacific Northwest. Our 18 station laptop lab can be setup in virtually any conference room. We’ve started classes at 6:30 AM and have taught evening classes as well. Whatever scheduling or location needs you have, we’ll be there to fulfill them. Customized Classes
Jumpstart prides itself on being flexible and responsive to your needs. When you request a modification on a class, we respond quickly and enthusiastically. As a result, you receive a high quality product each and every time. Real World Examples
Students learn best when they can relate classroom concepts to their own work. We relate the student’s newfound knowledge back to your organization and real work applications. Follow-Up Support
Jumpstart provides follow-up phone and email support on course topics for six months following the class. Additionally, Jumpstart often works with individuals during lunch and after class. Half-Day Classes
Jumpstart believes in maximizing classroom instruction. Half-day classes allow us to focus on topics specific to your workforce needs. We offer half-day classes that specifically target your employee’s skills. We Answer All Questions
All questions, whether outside the course description or not, are acknowledged. Most questions are answered on the spot. If a question is out of context for either the current topic or the course, the question is recorded, then answered later during class or during a break for interested individuals. We never tell students that they have to wait for the next class for a question that they have presently. Classroom Environment
Jumpstart’s classroom atmosphere is focused and unsurpassed. We take pride in providing a comfortable learning environment. We communicate clearly without an overabundance of techie terms. Students learn in our classroom, take that knowledge back to their office, and apply it immediately. Turnkey Solution
Jumpstart provides all materials, computers, projection equipment, networking equipment, and extension cords. All that is needed is a room and students! Experience and Integrity
