In 2004 a group of trainers from Illinois decided it was time to start creating more relevant and up to date training materials for Trainers who didn't have the time to write the courses that their companies needed.

By spending countless hours researching and attending industry seminars we have been able to create the most relevant courseware that you can find. We take part in industry blogs, read hundreds of case studies of real life situations and take examples from each client that stops to talk with us before we write each course.

Courseware is a term that combines the words 'course' with 'software'. Its meaning originally was used to describe exercise workbooks for teachers and trainers, or as tutorials for students, usually to teach computer applications. Today, the meaning and usage of the word courseware has expanded to include any knowledge area, especially soft skills topics, and encompasses supporting materials such as an instructor guide or lesson plans, classroom activities and ice breakers, quick reference sheets, classroom slide show presentations, and web-based online training, videos, and testing.

Many companies are using the term courseware to describe 'open source' training materials intended as kits for trainers that can be completely customized [and re-branded].  This allows trainers to easily edit any courseware component to better address the needs of participants.
