Since 1996, The Training Center has provided quality computer training that has served businesses and individuals in Western Wisconsin. Until now, that training has only been available at The Training Center classrooms in La Crosse, WI. Beginning in March 2006, The Training Center classroom is being extended to the world via the Internet. This will allow companies, anywhere in the world, access to our top-notch training without geographic limitations, or increasing travel, meal or lodging costs. Students logged into The On-line Training Center can sit in the comfort of their own work environment and participate in any of our interactive classes. The feedback from our students speak to the outstanding training experience provided by The Training Center.

The table below reveals how the 650 students who attended classes at The Training Center in

La Crosse in 2005 evaluated our services:

Students attending classes through The Training Center can learn anything from software basics to advanced functions and features of several popular software programs including: Adobe Acrobat 7.0, Peachtree, QuickBooks, Crystal Reports, and GoldMine. We offer 24 different Microsoft classes led by a Certified Microsoft Master Instructor in Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, FrontPage, Publisher, Project, Outlook, and Windows XP.

Class schedules are available at our website www.habco.com . Training costs for Microsoft, Adobe, QuickBooks & Peachtree are $169 per student/per session. Crystal Reports training sessions are $295 per student. Class pricing applies for both online and in-house training.

The Focus Sessions are for people who are looking for a "Power Boost" in a specific topic, but already have the basic skills and understanding of the software program. There will be a variety of Focus Sessions offered monthly. These sessions cost only $85 and include three-hours of "hands-on" power training, courseware, & data files. Visit our website at www.habco.com for training dates and times.

It is very easy to get connected to the On-line Training Center. It takes only a matter of minutes to connect to the class. Once registered for a class, students will receive an email confirmation with the courseware files attached. Students will also be given the login instructions and password for the session. On-line training is secure and reliable with proven WebEx technology. Students will receive a toll-free phone number for voice interaction during the class. For an ideal training experience, students need a computer with a high speed internet connection for logging into the session and a second computer (such as a laptop). This second computer would have the software loaded on it so that the student can experience the hands-on learning components of the program while simultaneously viewing the instructor’s screen. However, the minimal requirements for on-line training simply include a computer with a high-speed internet connection with the software loaded on it. In this situation, the student would have to toggle between the instructor Web-Ex session window and the program window on their PC.

Register for any of our in-house and on-line classes on our website at www.habco.com. Point to The Training Center on the menu bar and click on the Registration option.
