Companies come to Smart Buildings Academy when their existing staff:
We utilize a proven 5-Step Process that provides measurable increases in the abilities of our customers' technical staff and pair it with our 3-Principle Focus to solve the top issues in Smart Buildings training.
ASSESS THE EMPLOYEEWe have developed quantifiable online technical assessments that will identify skill gaps in BAS, HVAC, IT, Programming, Design, Sales, and Project Management knowledge. We are able to compare your employee's results with the results from our existing student database. This enables you to quickly pinpoint skill gap weaknesses that are costing your business margin, time, and revenue. We will present a complete gap analysis to you along with recommendations on how to close those gaps.
SELECT A LEARNING MAPWe have developed multiple course tracks that allow us to deliver focused training based on job role and skill set needs. In the case of your more senior or specialized employees we can build a customized learning map for you. Your employee will have online, on-demand access to the course track for a full year.
MEASURE PROGRESSOur team provides regular reports on student status and we have built in post-course assessments to ensure your employees are retaining the knowledge they have gained.
SUPPORT THE STUDENTBecause our courses are fully online, on-demand, we are able to provide access to our training anywhere your employee can get internet access. It is common for our customers' employees to stop and watch one of our videos when they are having difficulty performing a task. We have built-in discussion boards and live office hours for your employees to get further support.
VALIDATE THE RESULTSAt the end of the training period your employee will perform the full assessment again. We have seen measured increases in the area of 50%+ per subject matter area. What this means to you is that your employees will be better able to execute tasks resulting in more profit per employee. Our average customers see a 3% to 5% increase on executed margin per employee.
