Balance Your Career with Education
You may feel attending a training class could take away from the time needed to conduct your business. With travel, often an entire day can be spent traveling to a TREND training location and sitting in a classroom. When attending an on-line class, all you need to do is set aside an hour or so, the time you invest benefits your business. You can enhance your knowledge of how the tools you already have can effectively encourage your potential for success.

Classes are Comfortable and Cost Conscious
Comfort means you get to sit in your office with the door closed, in a park or coffee shop or in your favorite chair at home while wearing your slippers and robe! All you need to participate is a computer with high-speed Internet access.
The cost of TREND's on-line classes, like our in-person classes, is already included in the cost of your membership. You don't need to pay another dime. What could be more cost-conscious than that? Well...by taking a class on-line, you'll save on travel time you'd otherwise spend in the car traveling to a training location. And time is money. Additionally, you'll save money on gas by keeping the car in the garage, and simply logging on from wherever you are!

On-line Classroom is Personal and Interactive
Contrary to on-line classes you might have taken elsewhere, TREND's classes are interactive. The on-line classroom tool contains user-friendly features so you can communicate easily and focus your attention on the class material:
Chat
Let your fingers do the talking as you can use chat to ask questions and participate in class discussions. This is how you can communicate with the instructor and other class attendees.
Polling
Take part in class exercises. Just like in a regular classroom, TREND's on-line instructor can pose questions related to the subjects being reviewed. These exercises can ensure you have grasped the concept and let the instructor know the whole class is together before moving on to a new topic. Polls can also shape your experience as the instructor can learn what topics you want to have covered.
File Sharing
Everything you need to fully participate in class is contained in the classroom itself, within one program, so you don't have to go to another place to interact.
These features make on-line classes interactive and personal, as if you were there in person.
