Training and Development
Instructional Design
Simmons Consulting designs training courses specifically created for your organization’s unique training needs. Instruction can be design to best meet the target audience’s requirements to increase productivity, ensure knowledge transfer, and to decrease the learning curve. Instruction can come in the form of online helps/web helps, computer based training, traditional face-to-face training, classroom settings, computer discs, manuals, and more. Our full range of solutions includes development of instructor-led classroom training, self-study, e-learning modules, and train-the-trainer courses to meet your instructional requirements. The end result is custom training that interests readers, helping them to assimilate and digest concepts, and to apply them to real world situations. Contact us when you need:

Technical Documentation
Simmons Consulting develops online documentation that suits your needs. We structure our help projects with the user in mind - so they can find what they need in a hurry and get back to using your software. We design the help files according to your end user’s needs. We can incorporate business policies and procedures as well as technical and desk level procedures. Our online development team can create help files for your Windows and non-Windows applications. We use a single-source methodology to create all your documentation: printed books, WinHelp, WinHelp 2000, HTML-help, WebHelp, Web sites, or other formats - as much as possible, from a single source document. In addition to help development for many hi-tech companies, we also offer conversion services. Have your paper manuals converted to easily accessible web helps or even stand alone help projects.
