Educational Methodology

The Choquette Technical Education System (CTES)

The Choquette Technical Education System (CTES) provides a framework for practical, pertinent and efficient programming training. The system uses a balanced theory-demo-practice model based on proven educational methods. CTES training facilitates the transition from theory to practice through the use of pertinent demonstrations, concrete exercises and sequential curriculum design. The CTES Framework will optimize your learning experience. In a CTES course, you will:

• Learn programming concepts in a logical, sequential order. In this way, you can understand the concepts you learn without the need to memorize them.
• Write code, not copy it.
• Write production quality code after only 1 course.
• Learn skills that will help you in your future learning.

What Makes CTES Different?

• Every course is customized to your operational requirements.
• Our full training program consists of 4 courses (20 days) in total. This is by far the most cost-effective training program in the industry.
• We work with you to fit our prices to your budget.
• All courses are offered in both French and English.
• CTES manuals are complete and clear.

Our Procedures

Every course is customized to your operational requirements. To create the course that is right for you, we proceed as follows.

• Conduct needs analysis
• Develop outlines
• Prepare the course materials
• Facilitate the course
• Conduct evaluation and course assessment

Our Results

The primary strength of the Choquette Technical Education System resides in its structured approach to adult learning. CTES achieves maximal knowledge transfer through the use of sequence, relevance and repetition. Adult learners experience best results in their learning when the content is logical and relevant. CTES’ sequential curriculum design ensures that the learner always has the theoretical framework to understand the material covered. More importantly, all CTES materials explain course content in a logical and intuitive way that does not depend on large amounts of technical jargon. This human friendly design combines with CTES’s real world practical exercises to produce learning experiences that are structured and relevant.

Knowledge acquisition is a three stage process: Theory, understanding and application. The most difficult is the transition from understanding to application. By repeating concepts multiple times, CTES gives learners the opportunity to process the same information 3 times in 3 different contexts. This facilitates the transition from theory to practice by providing participants with a contextual framework for the practical use of their newly acquired knowledge. The extensive practice also allows participants to solidify their understanding of the concepts learned.
