MILWAUKEE, June 9, 2003 — Responding to customer demand for flexible training alternatives and depth of subject matter, Rockwell Automation has expanded its RSTrainerÔ 2000 computer-based training (CBT) offerings with four new courses. Ideal for manufacturers with time, travel or budget limitations, these self-paced/self-directed training programs allow employees to acquire and retain new skills at an accelerated rate, contributing to more time on the plant floor and less time in a classroom. In addition to traditional software and programming courses for SLC® 500 and MicroLogixÔ small-logic controllers, RSLinx® communications drives and RSLogixÔ 5 and RSLogixÔ 500 controllers, RSTrainer 2000 computer-based training courses now include:- ControlLogixÔ fundamentals- Hydraulics- Fundamentals of AC/DC drives and motors - RSLogixÔ 5000 programming “In the tradition of our broad portfolio of instructor-led training, RSTrainer courses provide both software product training and fundamental ‘subject matter’-based training to a growing e-learning market,” said Russell Allen, manager, Business Development and Marketing, Training & Performance Services, Rockwell Automation. “Because we understand the pressures faced by manufacturers, our curriculum is designed to help manufacturers continue to expand employee knowledge and skill sets, stimulate improved job performance, and improve overall productivity.”While self-paced learning isn’t an ideal solution for everyone, studies prove that self-paced training courses, when implemented correctly, consistently result in higher retention than traditional instructor-led courses. Furthermore, RSTrainer courses are effective as enhanced performance support tools.
