Our skilled support specialists are ready to help you make optimal use of your software — and to do things you didn’t know could be done! ResultsPlus is taking a more personalized approach to training including more class options, shorter class times, and interactive learning. With so many options, you’re sure to find the individualized training you need.

About Our Approach

Each session is scheduled for 60 minutes and limited to one session per day. Our experience has shown that training done in one-hour increments is easier for clients to schedule, enables better retention, and allows enough time to provide a lot of information that can immediately be put to use in your organization.

About the Classes
A one-hour training session can cover one topic or be a combination of two topics (30-minute each). You may have up to 5 people from your organization in a session. All sessions will be recorded and available for download upon completion. Cost per session is $250.00, which is due upon completion.
