Train-the-Trainer Program
Working with ArcFM
Clients who plan to train a large number of employees on our standard five-day Working with ArcFM course should consider the option of our Train-the-Trainer program. One advantage of this program is that a client instructor is trained to conduct the ArcFM class, thus significantly lowering training costs.
The program consists of two week-long sessions in which the client trainer(s) are given personal attention and information on lessons learned regarding specific classroom and training issues.
- The first week is a five-day class with the client trainer(s) only. They are instructed in both course data and techniques for presenting the course.
- The second week is a five-day training class that contains 6-12 students from the client organization and is taught by the client trainer(s) with the TM&M instructor serving in a support role to address difficult questions and guide the overall training process.
- Upon completion of this series of instruction, the client's trainer(s) are officially certified as Authorized TM&M Trainer(s) and are provided hard-copy training materials with an accompanying resource CD. For future classes, the authorized trainer(s) must purchase manual sets for each student through TM&M. This arrangement is further detailed in a license agreement with Telvent Miner & Miner.

Here are a few additional items to think about when considering whether to utilize our Train-the-Trainer program:
- Does the client have a designated trainer, technical lead, or manager who can allocate 40 hours to training when a class is needed?
- Does the client have on-going training needs - needs beyond training an initial group? For example, will there be future hires or promoted employees who will need training?
- Are there at least 20 students to train?
- Does the client have the technical resources (computers) and space to conduct training?
- Does the client need custom training modules on organization-specific customizations to its implementation of ArcFM?
- Does the client plan to deliver our standard five-day Working with ArcFM course?
