Learning Without Scars provides comprehensive online learning programs for professionals starting with an individualized skills assessment. These assessments allow us to then create a personalized employee development program. From their assessed skills, the employee is asked to select from classes designed for their skill level, thus allowing them to address the gaps in their knowledge. Employees can move through four categories of progress: Developing, Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced.

The First Level of Certification is “Basic.” This is an entry-level credential that demonstrates foundational knowledge or skills that expand upon those offered in the prerequisite classes. It’s designed for beginners or others that could benefit from a “refresher” curriculum, and serves as another stepping stone toward achieving more advanced qualifications. There are eight classes that one must successfully complete in order to take the Basic Certification Test which consists of one hundred and twenty questions.

The Second Level of Certification is “Advanced.” This credential indicates that the holder has specialized knowledge and expertise beyond the foundational level for their field. It proves a high level of achievement and a commitment to professional development, which can set an individual apart among those in their professional field of expertise. It also serves as another step toward achieving the top credential, Master Certification.  There are eight classes that one must successfully complete in order to take the Advanced Certification Test which consists of one hundred and fifty questions.

The Third Level of Certification is “Master.” This credential indicates that the holder has a very high level of specialized knowledge and expertise in their professional field of management. They have shown the drive and commitment to pursue a rigorous curriculum to learn the best practices in what they do and become a member of “the best in the industry.” It truly sets them apart from the others. There are eight classes that one must successfully complete in order to take the Advanced Certification Test which consists of one hundred and eighty questions.

Learning Without Scars requires that all certification programs start with a Diagnostic Test that is accessible through our Learning Management System. This allows us to assess the employee’s basic skills and knowledge and determine where additional learning is needed in order for he or she to perform their job at optimal levels. Learning Without Scars can also then provide a learning path to guide them through the educational process.

The score on the Diagnostic Certification Test helps determine where the learning and testing process begins. For those that score on the low end, a prerequisite bundle of classes is highly recommended. These eight classes provide thorough knowledge of the fundamentals needed for success as the learner progresses through the three levels of professional certification: Basic, Advanced and Master.

Industry accepted certification programs provide documented credentials for industry professionals that enhance employee’s career progress, increase their value to their employers, and help employees better contribute to company success. For employers, certifications provide objective, measurable industry standards to assessing and improving employee performance. They also contribute to employee development, demonstrate employer commitment to employees, and improve recruitment and retentions programs. All the above help improve customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and most importantly customer retention.

One of the most important and significant activities in which we can be involved, in our professional lives, is helping in the development of the younger less experienced employees. Whether it is a direct coaching job or when we mentor the younger less experienced workers, we have a responsibility to transfer our knowledge to them. In older times each new employee was assigned to a “mentor” with whom they spent time. They would take breaks together, have lunch together, and this new employee worked as if they were helpers for the experienced employees. This is also a critically important job of leadership. The leaders must coach their employees to be all that they can be. The dilemma with this is that not everyone is good at transferring their knowledge and some employees will just not do it. Selecting the proper people to assign this responsibility is critical. Starting through all of the job functions, from the beginning to the end. Communicated in a different manner from the time the employee arrives at work until they leave at the end of the day. Everything and anything that pertains to the work. This is part of developing a strong corporate culture. Culture is aimed at your heart. In this style of “onboarding” new employees, each person will feel part of the team. This is an extremely important function and this class will help you avoid the difficulties in performing this function.

One of the true challenges in the parts and service business is to determine the successful penetration of the market: the market capture rates. This is another term used to represent your “market share.” How well you are looking after the needs of the customer is the real question at this point.

With this class, we develop a “market potential” model which can be used to determine the purchase potential of each machine. With this tool, an overall potential can be developed for each customer. This is a tool that can be used by management and the sales force to develop strategies to improve performance. We deal with the creation of the model and all the variables within in this comprehensive program.

It all starts with the machine population. That is the list of equipment owned by each customer, and the work application and hours worked each year. With this and the statistics available from the OEM’s and their mean time between failure facts, a reasonable degree of precision can be developed. The major components can be managed in this manner: engines, transmissions, and hydraulic systems.  The wear rates of ground engaging tools and undercarriage can assist in the life of these wear parts. Finally, we have maintenance as the last element. Don’t miss this market potential class.
