The Enrollment Application is 
evolving with your needs to keep you a step ahead. It features a polished interface and enhancements designed to maximize productivity, improve predictability and fast-track new users while supporting all existing workflows...Most importantly, it was carefully crafted to 
make managing LMS training easier. It’s worth restating: As we update this system, users of the legacy system will not be faced with a burdensome task of learning a whole new system. After 7 years of use on the legacy system, we applied (more…)
Introducing the Newest Interactive Animation
The electrical training ALLIANCE is proud to announce the latest interactive animation on the subject of “Box Layout”. Traditionally we have left acquiring the skill of associated with “laying out” the top of a panel for conduit entries, and their associated holes (or knockouts), to on-the-job experience. This did not always allow a “safe” (aka inexpensive) environment for an apprentice to do the math associated with this process and implement this math to the real world material. This new simulator allows the students the opportunity to practice (via 10 distinct applications) this skill in an environment which will not have any ill-effects if an error is made. (more…)

LMS Downtime, Feb 14, 2018
Yesterday from 5:51pm to 6:06pm (all times eastern) the LMS was not responsive to users. The system began to show increased response times at 5:47pm. The response times increased rapidly from under 100mS to 649mS. At 5:48pm we recorded response times above 4,000 mS. At 5:51pm the system was shut down. We rebooted two of the many systems that support the overall LMS and at 6:06pm response times returned and have been maintained at just under 100 mS. Read on for some insights into how we know about and keep track of the system. (more…)
LMS Communications System Issue 02.05.18
There was an issue with the LMS communication system today whereby our testing server generated notifications of certifications for a few of our internal testing users that were then sent to only those users who are Instructors.

We apologize for the error and the interruption.
