The Best in Training for Accented Speech….

Trainers who participate in our online or onsite education programs aren’t ‘left at the door’ when an LDS event ends. Nearly all of our programs have some sort of post-event learning activity – many of which are returned for additional feedback by the event speakers. We frequently consult with trainers to help them decide the best way to build their continuing education for accent training. We offer a preliminary Need Assessment on our website as a great first step to determining your educational goals! Since 2007, we have updated and expanded our evaluation process to take advantage of the online survey format available to us. We listed to those evaluations and continually revise our program content. In 2007, we also moved our learning outcomes pre and post assessments to an online survey format for every class, allowing trainers to quickly and readily demonstrate the changes in their knowledge base. We also encourage trainers who want to retake courses by offering generously discounted re-audit rates in our Web Store.

We know that Online Learning/Distance Learning will continue to grow in the coming decade. We were one of the first in the field to actively utilize quality online software to deliver our training. We support those efforts with practical FAQs to build your learning curve. We offer a Tour of Online Learning for you to try the system. Our Online Training cancellation policies continue to be some of the most generous in the industry!

Thankfully, LDS was recommended by a former professor and my hospital sent me to the Basics course—it was invaluable. Lorna presented an excellent, hands-on course that provided me with a strong foundation on which to start my program. Thankfully, the aide from LDS did not stop there. Lorna was available via phone and email to answer questions and give advice. We used the wonderful materials from LDS throughout the course. I was able to choose from a variety of materials for the specific needs of each client. The materials were thorough and well organized—I would not have been able to teach as effectively without them.
