Participants do the practice scoring with real, videotaped full assessments using our complete P.O.E.C. battery, via our online portal open 24/7 to attendees.

We continue to see seismic shifts in how everyone engages at work! We continually revamp our marketing module to help you be ‘agile’ with these changes! Broadening your knowledge base for accented speech brings depth to your training. It doesn’t, however, automatically result in: 1) customers who are content with their progress or 2) getting paid what you’re worth! That requires knowing how to match testing results with participant needs and expectations… and knowing how to price it right! The marketing webinar includes a time-appropriate brainstorming activity: you continue to customize it on your own time and returned for instructor input, if desired.

You have one more ‘perk’ for getting the P.O.E.C. during the course that store buyers do not. Level 1 participants access Lorna Sikorski’s recorded web series entitled: “P.O.E.C.’s Talking Manual”. Certainly, you still need the manual. However, it’s great to hear the author give you a broad-strokes overview of the assessment and her personal tips and strategies for using the test (and, reading the manual effectively) that can only be accomplished by informally chatting about it!
