Brightspace Training Services
As a learning company, we’ve applied our knowledge of how people learn best to our training approach.

We’ve been able to utilize Subscription Training very successfully to create just-in-time support and training. To push the whole institute forward in a very short timeframe, we needed a way to scale our training and help faculty accomplish what was being asked of them. Subscription training filled that niche—it’s been extremely beneficial in terms of both the costs and the quality of the deliverables.

My favorite support team is the Training Center with Dana Knarr. She is awesome. She’s got some great certification programs and I have taken them a couple of different times. Absolutely loved them.
