Via Consortium
Client Site Classroom Training You pick the date and the class location and we bring the
instructor to you! With client site training, courses can be
scheduled on a date that is convenient for you, and
because they are at your location, you don't incur travel
costs and students won't be away from home.
Delivered in Your Work Environment
- An additional advantage is that the class is taught
on your equipment, so students are learning in their
work environment rather than in a classroom setup.
Tailored Classes
- Client site classes can also be tailored to meet your
needs. You might shorten a 10-day class into a
5-day class, or combine portions of several related
courses into a single course, or have the instructor
vary the emphasis of topics depending on your
staff's and site's requirements.
Definition Assistance
- If you're not sure exactly what training you need or
how to best tailor an existing course, our qualified,
experienced staff will assist you to define the exact
training you need to met your staff's specific
training requirements.

Instructor-Led Web-Based Training We Bring the Instructor to Your Desktop! Delivered live via
the Web, our highly-interactive sessions cover a topic in
high-impact one to four hour blocks allowing you to attend
from any place that has Internet access. This approach
eliminates travel time and expenses, minimizes time away
from everyday duties, provides targeted, high-quality
information when you need it, gives you access to the
instructor, and includes demonstrations and hands-on lab
exercises when applicable. Note that not all spoken
languages are available for publically scheduled classes.
Private sessions can be scheduled and delivered using
translators if necessary.
Self-Paced Training As a flexible alternative to our classroom training, Unisys
offers interactive computer-based training on select topics,
which reduces the need to spend travel dollars and the
time required to attend off-site training. Our self-paced
training includes media such as CD-ROMs, workbooks,
and videos.
Consortium Training Consortium classes can be taught at any location that can
provide a quality classroom environment and system
access if hands-on lab training is required. Locations could
include client sites (for those clients who would like to host
a class and open it up for others to attend), Unisys
facilities, hotels, or other training vendors’ locations. A
minimum number of students are required for a consortium
class to be confirmed.
