CSI-McAleer is pleased to announce that we will now be conducting regularly scheduled training in the computer lab of our new office building.  We realize that during these difficult times the scope of your staff’s responsibilities continues to grow, and to keep up with this change you need to be armed with the appropriate knowledge. 

To meet this need, we are offering two, three-day sessions per month, stressing basic NextGen knowledge in the first session and specific, seasonal training in the second session.  These sessions are designed in such a way that we can run generic training for large groups, or deliver customized training for individual users.  The basic premise behind these sessions is to allow you to look ahead at staff turnover or surges in financial requirements, and to be able to plan accordingly.

Currently, the training we have scheduled is listed below, and we will be adding additional training in the weeks to come.  The sessions themselves will not encompass the entire three days, but rather are offered on each of the days to provide maximum flexibility for your staff’s respective schedules. Each session is only $150/person/day, with registration a simple matter of calling our office and selecting the class you would like.

June 2- 4        

NextGen Basics session(s)  -  this session is designed with the new bookkeeper/payroll clerk in mind.  We know that each year a certain percentage of new staff members are forced to learn the system from passed down knowledge, and these sessions will allow you to plan for the turnover proactively.
