Xtreme Learning from NETg
By ETCS
You have been waiting patiently, and now it’s here!
We finally have over 700 information technology titles available
to you from NETg. NETg calls their online courses “Xtreme Learning”
as it is the ultimate opportunity for you to gain the information
you need. These courses are web browser-based which means there
is no player to download and install on your local machine. Your
account is already setup-your login name and password to take these
courses are exactly the same as your email login and password!
You can choose what you want to learn about by customizing your
very own training plan and then you set the pace for each course!
A special feature worthy of noting is the Search and Select option.
You can search for information on a particular subject, and then
select the information about that subject which will satisfy your
needs. Now you can find out what you need, when you need it! All
700+ NETg Xtreme Learning courses are geared toward a certification
track, if desired. If you wish to be Microsoft Office User Specialist
(MOUS) certified, here is your chance!

with NETg is that you cannot add the same course more than once
to your individualized training plan. (However, you can take the
course as many times as you want.) For more instructions on

Special Note
on Legos®:
We will continue
awarding you with Legos® as you pass courses in NETg. However, we
are still trying to determine the logistics on the reports we will
be receiving from NETg containing this information. Please print
out your passing scores and keep track of them just in case I miss
chance to award you your Lego(s)®!
Also, please note in advance, ETCS
is getting a makeover on the web. We have a new face which is still
in development. There will be many new features designed to make
your technical life easier! Stay tuned…there will be more news about
it in the next issue of InnerCircuits.
