Utilizes proven brain-based techniques.

At Champ Software, we are dedicated to providing training that employs the most effective teaching techniques for optimal learning.  Our approach centers around brain-based learning which works with techniques involving our brain's natural learning processes.

We follow the principles of the Learning Pyramid as adapted here  from the National Training Laboratories (NTL) Institute.

As you can see from the Learning Pyramid, most people learn best by either teaching a task to someone else or actually just doing the task.  Likewise, learning is not optimized through lecture.

Our Implementation Team utilizes:

• Online, self-paced tutorials allow you to use  your Auditory and Visual systems to learn Nightingale Notes along with basic knowledge on the use of the Omaha System.
• Documents that your agency may find useful during your implementation for those users who like to learn by Reading.
• Assignments that get you Practicing step-by-step documentation within Nightingale Notes
• Fun-filled and Interactive Activities in a virtual classroom with your peers where you are Teaching Others.
• Interactive Review of Omaha System concepts and Nightingale Notes features in a group Discussion.
• Realistic case study Demonstration of all aspects of Nightingale Notes led by Champ trainers that you then practice.

Virtual Training Benefits You:

• Minimized time away from work to learn new software and concepts
• Shorter implementation and training cycle
• Reduced costs by offering training in an all-virtual classroom
• No travel expenses!
• Access 24/7 from anywhere

We use the latest research to create interactive, hands-on virtual workshops that take the place of lecture style, on-site training sessions.  Hands-on clinical workshops are not just for the physical classroom, they work in a virtual classrooms too.

Peer to peer interaction is one of the most valuable learning methods available.  Traditional lecture-style training at best approaches 8 percent retention.  Our virtual workshops, through strategic design, achieve up to 85 percent retention.

Our training is all about you.

We continually work hard to meet your specific needs.  Our implementation team will customize materials and activities to fit your agency and build each session's agenda around your questions.
