Training and Learning

Mycom NIMS-PrOptimaProduct Training is modularised to provide an easy to identify and

easy to assign curriculum path for different types of users. The Base User Training enablesusers to understand the application and to conduct minimal statistical analysis and

reporting. All NIMS-PrOptima users shall enrol to the Base User Training before other

training modules can be attended in order to ensure maximum benefit from the curriculum.

Optional Module Training courses can be ordered individually or in conjunction with the

Base User Training to form a packaged course set.

The English language will be used to deliver all training courses. The Training documentation

as well as all software user documentation is provided in English. All courses are instructor-

led and thus delivered by a Mycom Certified Trainer. Each training module accommodates a

maximum of 8 students with the exception of courses for administrators which have a

maximum of 4 students.

All the necessary training facilities are provided for in-house training within our

international office locations. The required facilities and infrastructure are locally provided

when training courses are delivered within customer premises.
