Western Training Solutions - Introducing New Micro Courses

Beginning November 4th, 2024 Western Training Solutions (WesternTS, WTS) will be offering one-hour training sessions we're calling Micro-Courses.


The launch of this new concept begins with Excel Level 1. We've taken the 6-hour session and broken it into 6 one-hour sessions.


Check out our calendar for details on what's being offered and when.


What's it going to cost you? In keeping with our commitment of being western Canada's most affordable training school; WesternTS is offering a multi-purchase discount. A single course will be the standard price (email sales@westernts.ca for that price) or if you register for more than one session - you get a discount and it's a "good" discount!! Again - email sales@westernts.ca for those details


There is a "value - add" to these courses. They come with access to the lessons in video format, plus you will have access to the files used in training which include step-by-step details, and keyboard shortcuts.


Delivery Format: Course are virtual classes using Zoom or Teams. Depending on the location,  in-person training can be arranged.

These sessions aren't video training. They're not webinars! There are no PowerPoint slides used in the presenting of these courses!! These sessions are interactive with a live instructor!




Self Assessment:

We've even got an assessment tool. What does the tool assess, you ask? Great question! WTS is actually going to test you to see what you already know, and we'll give you credit for the sessions you already know!! Imagine! WTS is going to save you time and money!! Once you've met the criteria of knowing/taking all six sessions - you earn your Excel Level 1 Certificate.


Just to be clear. If you assess at knowing 3 of the sessions, and you take the missing 3 sessions - you get a certificate for completing Excel Level 1! No need to sit through stuff you already know. Just learn what you need to learn! It's a radical concept - we know. But you've been asking for it, so we made it happen.

Greetings of the Season Warm wishes filled with cheer, For moments wrapped in laughter And memories held dear. May your days be bright with kindness, Your nights be calm and clear, And may the spirit of the season Bring joy throughout the year. Here’s to peaceful little pauses, And to hearts that feel at ease— May the simple gifts around you Be the ones that truly please. Wishing you warmth and wonder, In all the days to come— May the season’s gentle magic Touch each and every one. Warm Wishes, Western Training Solutions

H appy H alloween from WesternTS Friendly Reminders for Parents of Younger Children: Don't let your children get too far ahead of you while out trick-or-treating Using glow sticks to brighten up their costumes is useful Putting glow sticks in their plastic treat pumpkins help keep them easy to locate Remind the children that no candy or drinks get eaten before they are inspected at home Using personal trackers on your kids is perfectly acceptable in high traffic areas where you could lose them in the crowd! Enjoy the evening everyone. Stay safe! and if you're like we are at Western Training Solutions....we will be enjoying the Blue Jays playing their game tonight as well as enjoying handing out treats to the kids both young and older!! Afterall, is anyone too old to get a candy on Halloween? We don't think so. ~Happy Fight Night to one and all!~
