New
York, NY — January 18, 2006 — Education
and training professionals seeking to master the unique skills
required to teach “Live Online”, may now take advantage
of an intensive 6-week program culminating in a LearningTimes
Certification as a Synchronous Training Professional (CSTP™).
This CSTP™ program, entitled “Producing
Professional Live Online Programs” is one of four online
programs announced today by LearningTimes, LLC, a leading provider
of
online communities, conferences, webcasts and events for education,
training, collaboration and networking. For more information
and registration visit: http://www.learningtimes.net/cert.
The new schedule introduced today includes two new introductory
courses for professionals interested in honing their interactive
webcast facilitation skills or learning to build online communities.
“Our spring catalog integrates ideas from dozens of our successful
CSTP graduates. We’ve condensed the courses and focused on
individual skills,” said Jonathan Finkelstein, Executive Producer
of LearningTimes. “In reformatting the spring programs, we’ve
also reduced the cost of enrollment significantly, ensuring that
LearningTimes CSTP is a very cost effective way to advance one's
professional development.”

programs are comprised of four main courses including:
-
