Having A Powerful Tool Like The Automated Church CMS System is Only 1/2 The Battle.  Learning How To Harness It's Power Is The Other 1/2!

 

Does this suggest the TAC CMS is not easy to use?

 

Absolutely not!

 

The fact is, it's extremely easy to use.  But let's blunt here ... just like beauty, "easy to use" is in the eyes of the beholder.  And the reality is, unless you're the programmer of a system you're not going to know every little shortcut or facet to the program without someone showing you.  That's software in general!

 

Bradley Chesnut has been training businesses and individuals on using their automation for the past 20 years.  As he'll tell you, there's always something to learn. A shortcut here, a more efficient way of doing this, and so on. 

 

In addition, when Bradley ran across someone unhappy with their automation, 9 times out of 10 it's because of lack of training ... they just simply didn't know how to effectively use what they had.

 

We want very happy clients.  Therefore, we know we need to make sure our clients are properly trained to use our system.  Here's how we'll do this ...

 

Introducing Training Services From The Automated Church Team

 

Our team offers a wide variety of training services and strategies. For our Church Management Software system, we offer training to 3 groups ...

  • New User - Here we're taking a brand new church and their staff and providing the training courses necessary to get you up and running on the system in the least amount of time and cost.

  • Advanced Training - When it comes to automation systems, there's always "advanced" training courses.  This could include advanced "database" uses, desktop publishing with MS Word, linking advanced documents with the CMS, and numerous other courses.

  • Growth Training using a CMS - Here we'll teach you how to work with visitors to do everything you can to turn them into members, and much more.

To see what training is available for each of these groups, click on the group name in the menu at the top to the right.

 

Beyond our training programs to help our CMS clients use the system better and maximize their investment into the system, we offer training in a group called Other Training Solutions ...

  • 3rd Party Software Programs - This could include MS Word, Excel or other programs.

  • Marketing - This is courses that teach marketing as a whole.  This is a great course to complement our Growth Training using our CMS.

Training Models

 

We offer a number of cost effective training models to train you ...

  • eLearning - This is where we connect via a telephone and GoToMeeting.  GoToMeeting allows us to share our computer screen with you so you can see what we're running on our computer. 

eLearning courses can be done one-to-one or in a group format where we'd invite numerous clients to participate in an eLearning course.  Group eLearning is on a 1st come basis.  We can train up to 15 people at the same time.

  • Multi-Media - This is where we'll create video training courses that cover a specific topic.  These could be sent on a CD/DVD or hosted on our Internet.

  • Documentation - We also offer written documentation to help learn the program.

  • Onsite Training - This is available only for churches in the local area, unless a church is willing to cover all travel expenses which include the flight, a motel and a rental car along with the daily training charge.

A Strategy We Use To Increase Retention to 100% While Decreasing Training Costs Significantly:

With our eLearning training, we also offer the option to record the training course to a multi-media format. We offer this because, as trainers, we know how much information we'll be teaching and we know how a person learns and retains information.  The fact is, you'll only retain the core information you need at that moment and will forget up to 80% of what was taught to you.  This is why it's so common for a business to purchase the exact same training numerous times.

 

By recording the eLearning session you have a video backup of the training course.  This offers a refresher course any time you need it along with giving you the ability to replay the training to make sure you learned everything you could from that course. 

 

This also gives you the ability to share the training with others in your church.  This is an outstanding way to maximize your training dollars by building a training library to share with others.  This will also help new users get up to speed on the system much faster!

 

Since we started offering this strategy for the eLearning courses, our one-on-one trainings have grown exponentially because churches recognize the tremendous value of having the session recorded for future use and to reduce their long term training costs.  As far as we know, we're the only vendor doing this.  I do know we were the first to offer this training approach in this industry and the other industries we work in.
