Universal Computer Systems Expands On-Line 'Net Classes Program
Universal Computer Systems says is
expanding its on-line 'Net Classes program due to the increased
participation and demand from clients. 'Net Classes enable dealership
employees to participate in one- to two-hour UCS software training
workshops over the Internet. Every one of UCS' regular classroom topics
is now taught through 'Net Classes.
'Net Classes are available in the following formats:
Software Education Classes -- Popular topics from regular UCS
classroom workshops are covered, such as how to set up dealer-defined
operation codes, or how to build account analysis reports.
Custom Classes -- Clients can request customized training sessions,
which are designed around the specific needs of their dealership.
Once logged onto 'Net Classes over the Internet, users interact with
the instructor, as well as other class participants, during the
workshops. All that is needed to participate in 'Net Classes is a
computer with Internet access, speakers, and a microphone (system
requirements include Windows(r) 98 or higher and 133 MHz processor with
64 MB memory or more).
"Since its inception in July 2002, the monthly attendance in UCS 'Net
Classes has more than doubled. We are pleased to have received such a
positive response from our clients, and we will continue to provide the
most innovative, convenient educational resources possible," stated
Oscar Walker, UCS software education manager.
