Anyone who sells courses to electronics engineering professionals will find this mechanism useful. Whether you are a university, a conference organizer, a professional educational company, or an instructor of a course you put together yourself, you can benefit from learning how to utilize a web site visited by your target audience to make that audience aware of what you are teaching. You will increase attendance, the frequency of teachings and make more money as a result.
Detail:
BestTest.com is a test engineering community web site established and maintained by A.T.E. Solutions, Inc., the leading test consulting and educational firm. BestTest.com is a knowledge base where engineering professionals exchange information and these members will be exposed to your courses the same way as they are exposed to ours.
They search by text about topics of interest. If the text they are searching for appears in your course description, they will have access to your course description as you describe it in the template you use.
The searchers will then be able to submit a request for quotation (RFQ) that will describe their desire for the teaching format - such as the time frame they would like the course, the location (their site or your site), the manner in which the course could be taught (for example, web based).
The manner in which student fees are distributed between your company and A.T.E. Solutions, Inc. will be negotiated ahead of time through an agreement. This will enable you to make direct contact with the students as soon as possible. Also, you do not pay a fee* for the advertising unless or until you actually sell your course.
* If your course is free to attendees, there will be a charge per attendee we send your way as negotiated in our agreement.
The specifics of "How to Use BestTest.com to Market Your Courses" that we will cover are:
1. Who we are and why would you want your courses listed in our web site?
2. How do your courses qualify to be listed?
We look primarily for courses that electronics test professionals would like to take. By posting your courses at our web site, you become an extension of our well respected educational firm. We therefore scrutinize your write up and approve it when it meets our requirements and what we believe is the needs of our audience.
3. What kind of agreement do you need to enter with A.T.E. Solutions, Inc.?
The agreement is not exclusive and will not interfere with any of your existing efforts to market the courses or educational resources in the way you have done so in the past. Our goal is to ADD to your marketing effort, and we only get paid if we can accomplish that. If you are interested in reading the agreement, please call us at 310-641-8400.
4. Does it cost anything to list a course and how you get paid if someone attends?
There is no cost to you for our listing and we are only paid from revenues we generate for you. The only exception to this might be a course you may want us to post where students attend without charge.
5. What are course formats, such as On-Site, On-Line, Privately Held, Course Note Resale, Video Based Course, etc.?
There are several formats in which we offer courses. Publicly held courses have set dates and locations. Privately held courses have set locations but dates are flexible. On-Line courses can be offered interactively. On-Site courses are taught at the students facility. Other formats are also available including the sale of the Course Notes only.
7. How do we update and maintain our listings?
Once a course is established at our web site, we have both automated and manual methods for updating. For example, courses that have already taken place will be automatically removed that date. When you schedule a new course, we will need to have that information. If course content changes, we will need your help to update them.
