Course Authoring

MarQuest Training Services’ course authoring team has over 20 years of experience in writing and delivering technical training courses and knows what it takes to deliver a top-rated class. Whether it is an official certification class or basic product training, MQ Training Services provide industry leading solutions.

MQ Training recognises the power and value of providing students with a quality learning experience.

A quality training class delivery can be the best marketing tool a company can buy.

When designing a training class, MQ Training Services understand the importance of structure and flow.

We believe that a good training class should tell a story with one clear main objective. During the class there will be lots of small stories and learning objectives which are designed to take students on a journey to the end goal, to the main objectives.

This is one area where often technical training classes fail, because they seem to only be concerned with teaching button-clicks, teaching students a set of CLI commands, but never teaching why would you configure a product in a specific way such as the full consequence of clicking a particular check box?

This is where MQ Training classes are unique, the object of the course is not purely to teach students how to use a tool or product but how to effectively do their jobs using the selected product.

Let’s, for  example, take a wireless design tool. The aim of the course should not be how to use the tool, but how to  effectively design wireless network using the selected tool.

This change of emphasis helps to create a class which is focused on the students’ needs and increases learning and retained knowledge after the class.

Structure and Flow

Courseware

For a good training class you need good courseware.

The last thing anybody wants is lots of slides with lots of text on them.

If you want to self-study, then we have product user manuals and textbooks, and these are great resources.

But training slides should contain charts, diagrams and graphics which help to illustrate what the instructor is saying, the slides should not just be a script for the instructor to read.

A key reason that students sit a training class is to see demos and gain practical hands-on experience, things which you can’t get from a book.

Instructor

A critical component of a good training class is the instructor. It is the instructor which makes or breaks a training class.

We need knowledgeable instructors who are engaging and have practical experience in the field.

MQ Training Services have access to a global pool of some of the most talented independent technical trainers in the industry.

These talented industry experts are available to deliver any training classes that MQ Training Services create.

Exam Writing

Have you ever taken a bad technical exam? Perhaps some of the following are familiar:

• Questions which have more than one answer
• Questions which do not make sense
• Answer choices which are ambiguous
• Questions which are difficult for a non-English speaker to answer
• Questions which are answered by a previous question

The fact of the matter is, it is easy to write a bad technical exam, but it is difficult and time consuming to write a quality legally defensible exam.

At MQ training services we follow strict exam writing principles as outlined by psychometricians and believe exams should be appropriate and fair to the test taker.
