Training Overview

NexLev Solutions is a training company specializing in business, leadership and project management training and consulting. Specialized industry verticals include construction, manufacturing, infrastructure development and digital. NexLev also has experience and expertise in consulting and the delivery of customized business/project systems and frameworks with a focus on people, process, technology and value&—for all types of roles and industries.

NexLev has a national reputation of hosting workshops that are actively sought after. We are not a training institute, we don’t lecture—we live for collaborative knowledge transfer with adult employees and we make an immediate impact in the way project type work gets done. We also disrupt the market with our customized pricing, unparalleled quality and quality of the instructor. We are backed by leading Professional Associations and Organizations and primarily teach through them (part of an elite list of pre-qualified vendors across Canada).

Our workshops provide a common language and structured, repeatable approach that is aligned with globally accepted best practices and followed by all roles at all levels (across all industries).  All businesses want work to flow easier with consistent expectations. Our framework does this through workflow, guidebooks, tools, templates, and techniques that deliver a combined personal skill-set and formal toolbox. Our Framework has been taught to hundreds of companies for over fifteen years across Canada. It is approved, recognized and based on global leading PMBOK (www.pmi.org) plus other methodologies (e.g. ISO 9000, Six Sigma, LEAN, Journeyman/Gold Seal, FITT, Agile, RUP).

A tremendous differentiator of any course are the facilitators. Jason Tratch (www.jasontratch.com) and Darlene South (linkedin) are the primary authors and instructors of all courses in this program. They are experts in their fields with multiple certifications, degrees, awards and both direct field-experience and training-experience. They actively use frameworks in their businesses (so not only teach but consult). They speak at Masters courses, colleges, conferences, seminars and trade delegations. They love to coach and educate with unmatched passion, energy, and desire to share and grow professionalism and lower stress and risk within working environments. They have over forty years of teaching experience in private and vocational college levels.

Blended Training Approach

A unique advantage of our style of training is the blended approach. The courseware is delivered through multiple approaches, including:

  1. In-class “face-to-face” workshops that aligns with Online courseware
  2. Private tutorials (live instructor appointments available for Q&A, etc.)
  3. Peer/student networks (access others through our Educational Portal)

Studies have shown that blended learning approach facilitates a simultaneous independent and collaborative learning experience. This increases student satisfaction and success. Typical management training at this level of quality takes weeks and costs over $5,000; many companies find that too expensive and impossible to let employees take high amounts of consecutive days not at the office. Our quality and custom prices provide value that we will stand behind and compare to anyone across Canada.

The in-class content follows and aligns directly with the online course. Thus, after completing the class, students can go at their own pace and delve into the online course to increase understanding, retention, etc. The online course contains comprehensive details, examples, diagrams, videos, templates, exercises, tests, mind maps, games, links, etc. Instructors are also readily available through chats, email, forums or “live” weekly tutorials.

The online course has navigation designed to allow students to highly customize their learning approach (speed, focus, level of options, gamification, location, time). The online course was designed by cyber school experts and PhDs (University grade quality). Interactive tests draw from large question banks (over 1000 questions) to provide students with an ever changing self-assessment (test questions change each time test is taken).

Supplementary Brochures

NexLev has a repository of brochures available such as: Overview, Benefits, Author, Certifications, Who Attends, Testimonials, References, PMP Test Guarantee, Online Demo, etc.

NexLev strongly backs and supports the value delivered and will quality/price guarantee it across Canada.
