Overview
Most adult learners require three study methods or resources to retain the highest
percentage of information. As part of our Integrated Learning model, New Horizons
provides reinforcement tools to increase retention of the course material and
advance the learning process.
From hands-on labs to reference materials to practice exams, the learning experience
is enhanced by a host of resources:
Learning Guides
Classroom Learning students receive a Learning Guide to use as an at-a-glance review
tool to outline the main concepts and skills presented in the Classroom Learning
course. This guide is a condensed hard-copy booklet of the corresponding eCourseware
that accompanies the course.
eCourseware
Classroom and Online LIVE students receive an electronic version of the complete
courseware containing the most current version of the content. It is available online
for six months, and students may print or download the eCourseware for later use.
Learning Kits
Technical courses, which are usually longer in length and more complex than application
courses, receive a complete Learning Kit. The kits are generally vendor-authorized
and include a large binder, software, and other resources.
Online ANYTIME Post-Class Resources
In addition to the classroom instruction, students receive a self-paced Online ANYTIME
tutorial when available. These tutorials can be used during class and as a post-class
resource for an extended period of time. These interactive, multimedia tutorials
include the same content covered in Classroom and Online LIVE Learning courses and
are available online for six months. The self-paced tutorials provide hands-on training
that mimic the application without needing the software loaded.
Online LIVE Archives
With Online LIVE Archives, students can listen to archived classroom recordings.
Archived recordings are easily accessible through the student's online Learning
Plan and are available around the clock.
Online Reference Books
Our online Books 24x7 provides the Web's finest technical reference library. Online
ANYTIME library subscribers have full-time access to the electronic versions of
top technical books from leading technology publishers, such as MIT Press, O'Reilly,
Que, Sams, Sybex and Wiley. These reference books can be used to reinforce the learning
experienced at New Horizons.
Virtual Labs
Our vLab technology feature live, hands-on experience with real equipment - not
a simulation or a computer-based training program. These provide additional real-world
experience similar to working with networking technologies, such as a Cisco-powered
production network or a Microsoft network infrastructure. The vLab are extremely
valuable in reinforcing learning in all methods of delivery.
New Horizons Retake Policy
Students may retake Classroom Learning within six months, or Online LIVE courses
within 30 days, on a space-available basis.
Exam Preparation
For those IT professionals preparing for a certification exam, New Horizons Exam
Prep provides a simulation environment to effectively assess test readiness and
prepare learners to pass their exam the first time. Exam prep may also be used as
a learning aide.
Learning Labs
Within each of our physical locations is a learning lab for students to study, practice
for exams using exam preparation software, access their Online ANYTIME tutorials
or participate in an Online LIVE session.
