Course Description:
The Advanced TMS class is designed to help students "push the envelope"
in using TMS Millennium. The sessions are driven by student interest and
needs, providing the skills and knowledge that will help them solve real
world tasks in their agencies. Students' real-world issues and problems are
used in class to illustrate TMS features and techniques that are often
beyond the scope of the Basic TMS class. Because the issues are
student-driven and based in the present, no two Advanced TMS classes are
ever the same. Students who have attended this class multiple times state
that they always leave with new skills and knowledge that make them more
productive and efficient with TMS. |
