        Our Training Philosophy
        With more than two decades of experience in instructing non-native English speaking students, we have developed a unique approach to AVSEC instruction.

        Understanding that true learning among these students in NOT the result of lecture, typed overheads and English language handouts (the proverbial talking-head situation), our curriculum development and instructional teams utilize a three fold approach to learning. Each class consists of a content element, a classroom dynamics element and a practical or hands-on element. In keeping with the current industry standard of 60% hands on and 40% academics, the three-instructor approach lends itself to both a dynamic classroom experience as well as a large degree of individualized and remedial instruction for those students who require this additional attention.

        Printed handouts, so traditionally relied upon, are kept to a minimum, and presented in a manner commensurate with the student’s abilities. Technical information is simplified to facilitate student comprehension. It is a known fact, that reading comprehension greatly lags behind oral comprehension, especially in the areas of technical or specialized reading. Academic instruction is augmented by:

        • a high degree of student hands-on instruments
        • instructor modeling of task behaviors
        • observing students executing the job tasks required
        • correcting as necessary
