Sponsor Background:
First-rate materials. Top-notch instructors. Small classes. Well-structured, challenging hands-on exercises. These are the critical elements of a truly effective training program – and the key reasons why Hands On Technology Transfer (HOTT) should be your source for software skills training. HOTT is dedicated to providing programming professionals like you with the skills and knowledge necessary to enhance competency and productivity. Whether you are moving into a new technology or advancing your current skill set, HOTT will provide you with an unparalleled learning environment.

Here’s why:

• Convenience HOTT offers courses at frequent intervals in a number of cities across the United States to help provide a location convenient to you. Easy access helps you minimize your travel time and expenses as well as down time from your job. There’s no financial penalty if you have to withdraw or change your plans after you register, so you can reserve your place as early as you’d like. And registration’s as easy as reaching for the phone.
• Perspective As an independent, dedicated training organization, HOTT offers a practical, realistic and unbiased view of competing technologies and products that you won’t get at training centers authorized by a particular software vendor. Our courses emphasize task-oriented, not product-oriented training – training that integrates technologies the way your business does. Because our instructors have cross-platform knowledge and experience, you’ll get the full picture – not just how to use a particular tool, but the issues involved in using multiple tools in today’s open environments, including practical design, architecture, and coding issues. You’ll understand technology well enough to create good designs before you code – and be prepared to design for a client/server, cross-platform or multi-tier environment. HOTT prepares you to become a more knowledgeable, efficient, effective and valuable employee, as well as a more educated technology consumer.
• Quality In addition to being seasoned professional trainers, our instructors also have many years of training and industry experience working in their respective fields. Practiced developers, software engineers, and system administrators, they understand the challenges you face in your job and have first-hand knowledge of the skills you need to succeed. Extensive national and international teaching experience has prepared our instructors to manage a variety of group dynamics and relate to foreign students, ensuring all participants’ full involvement and success.
• Substance HOTT class sizes are kept significantly smaller than classes at other national training firms in order to provide you with more personalized attention, more focused content, and greater access to instructors for problems and questions. We continually refine and upgrade our courseware to reflect new product features and industry requirements. Equally important, we’ve built our materials and curriculum to reflect the needs of our students as they have communicated them to us. As a result, you don’t just learn what we think you should learn, you learn what other professionals like you have identified as necessary to their jobs. You’ll find HOTT labs exceptionally challenging. Their objective is to provide an in-depth, hands-on experience that replicates real work experience and trains you to deal with the complexities of real scenarios. With an average class size of 12 students, you’re assured full attention from the instructor. Course materials, including student and lab guides and your lab software, are yours to keep. Certain courses also include a complimentary industry textbook, which provides additional supporting information and reference material.
• Value HOTT delivers high-quality training, with all the benefits of small-size classes, at highly competitive prices. Special rates for large groups attending our public classes save you even more. For extensive individual training needs, HOTT Training Pass provides an extremely cost-effective option. And we can often charge far less than you’d think to bring a tailored program right to your facility.
• Selection HOTT’s extensive offerings include introductory and advanced courses in Object Oriented Analysis and Design, C++, Visual C++, MFC, Win32, ActiveX, COM, Visual Basic, UNIX, X/MOTIF, ANSI C, Windows NT, Java, Networking, Web Programming, and more. Because we focus on advanced programming skills, you’ll find a greater selection of advanced courses at HOTT than at most other training centers. An even greater array of highly focused courses are available for delivery at your site.
