On-site Training
Premier Assistive Canada regularly conducts classes for entire institutions to fully demonstrate all of the products in the Premier Accessibility Suite. Typically, these classes qualify as "in service" time for all teachers.
This is option works well for a complete professional development day as it provides a comprehensive training session. Premier coordinates with the organization in advance to ensure that the sessions are successful and cover the tools most relevant to identified needs.
Premier Assistive Canada webinars provide organizations with the flexibility and ease for planning and training staff. Webinars can supplement scheduled Premier on-site training; or, they can be integrated into an overall training strategy in stages and customized based on specific needs.
When a Premier Assistive Canada webinar is scheduled, a private online session is arranged. Each webinar is tailored to cover specific the content determined by the user.
Training Videos
Each of the Premier Assistive Canada tools contains a series of training videos on key features of the product. Videos are 5 to 10 minutes each and can be viewed at any time to learn or review tool features and functions.
The Premier on Keys to Successful Implementation, for example, can assist schools and organizations with the implementation of the Premier Literacy Suite.

On-site training provides live hands-on classroom experience
What do we teach?
Training sessions focus on how to integrate literacy tools into a classroom environment and help students develop life skills that will take them beyond school. Participants come away with a good basic first-hand knowledge of the features and functions of Premier products. Depending on the facility size, Premier can accommodate up to 25 individuals in an all-day session. In addition to school personnel, parents are also encouraged to attend these sessions if there is room. There are significant benefits to using these affordable products at home for students who are also using them at school.
