Introducing JBB's Coach-assisted eLearning

Last edited by John Rizzo on 2009-03-18 20:15

Welcome to JavaBlackBelt!

We have created a unique Java learning service powered by a worldwide community to develop high quality training & certification.

I went 60% faster than if I had been left alone with a book and the Web. I started as soon as I was ready and was clearly guided step-by-step. At the end, the final exam result proved my progress to my manager. It made him confident enough to put me on a project using the exciting technologies I had just learned. I'll continue to learn on the project, but thanks to this course, I got off to a good start and felt productive right away. Thank you, guys!

What is it?

JavaBlackBelt's Coach-Assisted eLearning combines the best of several learning modes:

  • The agility of e-learning:
    • anytime, anywhere: you choose when to start and progress at a pace that fits your agenda
  • The depth of self-study:
    • a blend of theory, exercises, videos
  • The guidance & support of an instructor-led course:
    • clearly-defined sequences, with a coach to get you out of trouble
  • Best-in-class content:
    • Continuously updated by the JBB community
    • High level quality guaranteed by JBB moderators
  • The knowledge assessment of Certification Centres:
    • Exams after every chapter and final exam at the end to make sure the content is assimilated
    • Recognized belt-colored assessment designed by JBB

How is it delivered?

JBB Coach-Assisted eLearning is delivered either fully via internet or by combining instructor-led classroom training and blended online courses.

Either way, as a first step, student and coach agree on a timing & schedule to reach the course objectives. The student will then learn at his own pace, as long as it does not exceed a maximum two-week period. The training will have been successfully completed when the final exam is passed. The online course combines best-in-class content complemented with exercises, videos and discussion forums. Furthermore, it is continuously updated by the JBB Certified Community.

In our launch phase, the coaches are from the JBB team itself. Therefore, our coaching is delivered during office hours in time zones GMT -1 to GMT +2 in English, French, and Dutch. In a second phase we will expand to include JBB certified instructors in other regions of the world and other languages.
