Success FactorsStudents are successful with our approach thanks to a proprietary focus on long-term memory development. Our course content is written by real-life practitioners of the subject who also possess the skill and the desire to write course material.
Training Design PhilosophyOur training design philosophy combines synthetic and analytic instructional techniques.
Synthetic technique integrates all the major aspects of a subject's terminology, concepts, tools, and techniques. Students are challenged to develop for themselves significant connections among the various aspects of the subject matter, rather than merely walking through purely descriptive content under the guidance of an instructor.
Analytic technique breaks a large subject into its constituent parts. The major shortcoming of exclusive reliance on analytic technique is the distorting isolation of the part from the whole. It is easy to write course materials this way and, in fact, most technical writers are trained to apply it. However, exclusive reliance on it creates a false sense of accomplishment in the adult student.
Finally, our training material is prescriptive, that is, it engages the experience of the adult student to understand why a thing should be as it is, and how it may or may not be relevant under real-life circumstances.
Quality CommitmentThe course authors of D. Hughes & Co. pride themselves on a personal commitment to accuracy, correctness, and editorial excellence. Our standard operating procedures define a workflow which culminates in Alpha testing, formal Beta testing by independent parties, and then production release.
