Distance Learning Classes
Our distance learning courses provides online live courses that allow students to learn from their computer as they participate in a live class session. The presentation is interactive, just like a “traditional” face-to-face class except that the instructor is in another location, but everything is still 100 percent live. Labs are conducted in “real time” with the other students in different locations. If you have a question or problem, just speak up as you would in a regular class. An instructor, who is a subject matter expert in the online training class, will be able to see your screen and even take over your computer, if need be, to demonstrate. If you attend the distance learning class from one of our locations, you will be in a small classroom, with 12 students max. If you need to multitask by taking a call or eating your lunch and working through practice labs, you can do that.
Self-Paced Computer Based Training Tutorial Videos
Computer based training videos on dvd / cd-rom is an effective way to acquire new skills or prepare for IT certification exams. Taking a self-study CBT training course allows users to work on their own PC or laptop when and where they want. Self-directed computer training video courses are self paced. Users learn at a pace of their own choosing. Fast learners can accelerate through the cbt curriculum while slower learners or students with little free time can take a more leisurely approach. Our computer based training (CBT) videos contain self-assessments, quizzes, hands-on practice lab simulations, interactive video content and more to bring the material clearly into focus. With computer training videos on dvd or cd from K Alliance, learning new skills or mastering material for certification is just a few keystrokes away.
Online Computer Training Videos
Online training allows students to learn new material or prepare for IT certification, Microsoft Office, or a Soft Skill. With web based training (WBT), the only thing needed is a broad-band internet connection and a web browser. Users log on and begin their training. Self-paced e-learning is an interactive approach to delivering content to the students. Hands on practice, interactive content, assessments, step-by-step online computer training videos with audio, and other elearning features make online learning effective. There's no need for traveling offsite to attend classes and the online computer training programs are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We work hand in hand with your team to create the most effective courseware for your company.
Synchronous vs Asynchronous Learning
There are two type of e-learning: Synchronous and Asynchronous. Both are taken from your computer, but one offers a live class session. Synchronous, which literally means "at the same time," involves interacting with an instructor via the Web in real time. Asynchronous, which means "not at the same time," allows the student to complete the WBT on his own time and schedule, without live interaction with the instructor. Asynchronous e-learning is more common because it creates a just-in-time, on-demand student learning experience. Unlike synchronous online training, students do not need to schedule their time around the predetermined plan of the instructor. Read More

Ace an IT-related Job Interview
Ace your next interview with these helpful hints! Also, properly conduct an IT interview so that you choose the best candidate for the open position.
Don’t get nervous when you get your next IT interview! Now is definitely not the time to let your interview skills get rusty, especially with all the unexpected layoffs companies are having. Impress hiring mangers by following this dynamic tips to help you stand out from the crowd of job-hunters (and potential employers, too) so that you ace the interview and stay in the running for that much sought after job!
We also have tips for hiring manager so that they can easily find the most qualified candidates for their business. Whether you're looking for work or looking to hire, one thing you can't afford to overlook is the importance of a strong interview. This is particularly true in development, where technical interviews impose unique demands. Here are a few tips for people on both sides of the interviewing table.
Let’s start with tips for those seeking interviews. For Interviewees, the most underused answer in technical interviews is, "I don't know." No one knows all the details on today's platforms. Feeling around for the correct answer to a technical question makes you look bad.
Don't pad your resume with long lists of technologies that you supposedly know. Just because a technology was used at your company and you got within 10 feet of it doesn't mean you know it or should tout it on your resume unless you are an expert at it. You don’t want to bomb an interview just because you were trying to make yourself look better by saying that you knew all types of programs when you really didn’t.
Also, make sure to bring some sample code, even if the interviewer doesn't ask for it. About five or six printed pages will do, and it need not be a complete program or module. This will impress the people you most want to impress. Don’t forget to stress the business value of your past contributions to a company. Most interviewers are a hybrid of business-oriented and technically-oriented. If you have that same balance, it will make you stand out. If you can't articulate the business value of your contributions, you need to take stock of yourself. There are two main possibilities: you simply don't care about the business side, or your contributions aren't really very valuable.
By following these simple tips, you will land a second interview and possibly obtain that job! Just remember to be yourself and show the interviewer how much you can offer the company and that you are always trying to learn new things within the IT world.
Now, tips for those doing the hiring. For Interviewers, make sure you are well prepared for the interviews and don’t just wing it. If you're doing any significant amount of interviewing, you owe it to your company to have a list of questions you can ask, so that you don't have to think them up on the fly. To find the right candidate, you have to be prepared. Also, make sure to ask a combination of technical and "soft skill" questions. You need to gauge technical competence, but non-technical skills such as teamwork, attitude, process knowledge and so forth are at least as important.
Don’t forget to ask for sample code since this will show the nature of their work. Stress that it need not be a complete project, and that you only need to see a few pages. Occasionally, someone will reply that all of their code is proprietary and they can't give you any. You can decide if that's a dodge, but it's a clear signal that the candidate doesn't do any serious professional development outside of work.
Keep your body language neutral while candidates answer soft-skill questions so that the person isn’t feeling you for what you want to hear. You'll have many candidates who will be washouts in the first five minutes. Don't become abrupt or careless about your treatment of those candidates. It can hurt your organization's reputation among other developers. Being neutral will allow the candidate to answer questions truthfully instead of telling you what they think you want to hear.
When you're finished asking questions, give the candidate a chance to ask any questions of you. That includes asking you why you asked about certain things. They may have been coached to ask generic questions about the company, but what you're hoping for are deeper questions that reveal general inquisitiveness.
If you or your managers don’t know how to successfully conduct interviews, there are always e-learning courses they can take that will help them learn proper interview techniques. They can take computer based training or online courses so that they can easily learn on their own time. No matter what, enhancing your knowledge on a variety of things by taking IT training courses will add to your resume and enhance your skills.
