Our Product Support has always won high accolades from accent trainers worldwide! In addition, we launched a brand new Trainer Newsletter in 2008 that does far more than tell you what’s new at LDS! The Preferred Trainer program launch in 2006 continues to grow in members and evolve/expand for the types of discounts, marketing and training opportunities we provide. Since the 2005 startup of our Online Training Center, we continually evolve our online support for trainers who want to get quality continuing education via this format.
For Training Products
We believe that the Advanced ESL and Pronunciation materials in the LDS catalog are among the very best available in the market. We have the tools you need to:
- accurately pinpoint the nature of accented English,
- screen for adult ESL levels,
- capture the essentials to polish foreign (or regional) accents,
- tackle advanced grammar and English language usage issues.
However, training outcomes can fall short — event with the best materials — if the professionals using them don’t have: 1) the expertise to choose the appropriate materials for the training format and the client pool using them or, 2) the know-how to ‘plumb’ the depths of those materials.
Trainers confidently choose our products, knowing that a ‘Help Line’ is available to brainstorm what clients need, to engage in Q&A on testing or training materials, and to ‘bounce’ the finer points of content and methodology. Since our inception, we have received a steady stream of accolades for how we support trainer confidence — and, ultimately, trainer success - by standing by our products.
- We appear at state and national convention exhibitions to meet with trainers and demonstrate the testing and training tools in our catalog. Mark the date of our next exhibit opportunity.
- We offer a free, online Webinar called Product Rollout! for new products, as they are launched.
- New authors are often introduced or interviewed with Meet the Author webinars — also
free.
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. |
