Delivery

PaperThin trainings are offered in a variety of ways to ensure there's an option that's right for you. We offer online trainings, on site trainings, e-learning trainings for customers that prefer a self-service approach, or in-classroom trainings at the PaperThin headquarters or a nearby hotel. Class times vary accordingly with some running 9am to 5pm, while others last half a day or even one hour per day for organizations with very demanding schedules.

Workshops

PaperThin also hosts workshops on a variety of topics which teach trainees in a hands-on environment how to implement and use some of the more complex features within CommonSpot. Workshops are part lecture, part homework, and part hands-on training. Attendees walk away with a comprehensive understanding of that feature, a solid plan and level of effort for their implementation, best practices, and a jump start on their implementation.
