Introduction to i-Learning

SICOM Systems is dedicated to being your total POS solution and recognizes that our system is the primary tool by which you and your staff manage your restaurant. However, like any other significant tools, it is only as good as the person who knows how to use it. To enable users to get the most out of our POS solution, SICOM Systems has begun to develop and present a series of courses focusing on the various modules of both our POS system and Enterprise Management Solution which we collectively describe as i-Learning.

Unlike traditional education courses, i-Learning leverages the Internet to disseminate and present course material to SICOM System users in a cost and time efficient manner. To attend an i-Learning course, participants simply need access to a PC with high-speed Internet access, which could be at the restaurant, at the corporate office or at home. With i-Learning, there is no cost for travel and overnight accommodations, and the only time taken away from the job or family is spent directly on learning new skills.

i-Learning courses are currently presented in two formats, Instructor-led and Self-Study. Instructor-led courses are scheduled in advance generally lasting 2-3 hours and presented by one of SICOM’s training staff. When additional time is required to cover the course material Instructor-led courses are scheduled into 2-3 hour segments making it easier for participants to plan their respective schedules. With Instructor-led courses, class size is limited to 12 locations rather than a specific number participants, meaning each location can have one or more participants, allowing a single organization have its entire management staff attend the course in its corporate training room.

Self-Study courses are designed primarily for reinforcement of the Instructor-Led course, allowing the participant to review the course material at a place and time most convenient for them. To make these courses even more convenient, the course material is organized into 15-20 minute segments avoiding the need to schedule large blocks of time. These smaller course segments also make it easier for the participant to go directly to a specific course topic without having to invest time in a typical 2-3 hour course segment.

Note: Self-Study participants should have a PC with both a sound card and speakers or head-set.
