Bootcamps
Accelerated Skills Training For Today's IT Professional.
Certification mills, paper MCSE's, meaningless certifications. All are terms that have been used to describe the training industry for quite some time. The most important thing that we want you to know about FLS is that we do not do things that way. When you attend an accelerated training bootcamp at FLS, you will be trusting a company whose reputation has been built on a solid history of delivering professional level technical training for nearly ten years. With hundreds of successfully trainined MCP's, MCSA's and MCSE's, we know what works, how to deliver it, and how to make it stick. Our students leave with measurable skills, the confidence to apply them, and an exam pass rate rarely achieved by any other means. In short, our training camps represent the combined effects of our experience, delivery skills, and custom exam preparation materials focused on your individual career needs, period!
"I traveled over 800 miles from the Washington DC area, and ONCE AGAIN Focus Learning Systems has provided a superior training experience. Rich Stanley did an outstanding job ensuring I "learned" the material, which provided the substance and guidance to pass both upgrade exams and obtain my Windows 2003 MCSE."
Jeff Trinidad, Windows 2003 MCSE/MCSA/MCP/Security+
Don't trust your career to someone who's primary interest is to get your money and get you gone! The success of a person who decides on attending accelerated training is almost totally dependant on the quality of the instructors, the staff, and the demonstrated track record of the training company they will be trusting!
FLS was one of the earliest providers of this type of training. It was founded by instructors, not bean counters. It is still directed by those same instructors who totally understand the demands of gaining and maintaining technical certifications. Our training is designed to provide measurable value to both our students and the companies they work for, and to do it at a fair price.
We have built our reputation by treating every student as an individual and by doing our best to focus on each students unique background and experience level. We are not a certification mill that processes large numbers of students in one end and out the other. We have no interest in adding to the wash of meaningless certifications that are out there. We are a single site, instructor owned training center that has built it's reputation on quality, individual achievement and usable skills.
The success of our students speaks for our methods with one of the highest pass rates in the industry. But, more than anything, our success is measured by our students individual achievements, and by the trust they continue to place in us by returning for additional training. Thank you to all of our past and future students.
Our Approach
At FLS, we focus on your success, plain and simple. Your ability to function when you leave here is going to be directly related to how much nuts and bolts, get the job done, keep em running and happy, skills that we can deliver while you're here. We work hard to keep the emphasis on current, real world problems, and the tests.
We know that you have a lot of choices for your training dollars so we work hard to give you solid results for the money and time you invest. We are not interested in getting you through the certification process without the practical skills to go along with it. Managers and employers demand it, and so do we.
Custom Study Materials
Our students receive custom created study materials that are not available anywhere else. Our custom materials are designed to reinforce key concepts and exam objectives, not teach you to memorize questions. Combined with our knowledge delivery methods, we strive to make you confident enough with the concepts that it won't matter how a particular question may be presented on an exam.
Luxury Hotel
We have a brand new, luxury, StayBridge extended stay hotel directly outside our front door. Not only will students be staying in a top shelf, premium hotel facility with all the extras, including a personal computer in their hotel room, but they can access our classrooms any time they want.
Small Class Sizes
We focus on quality, not quantity. FLS is a small company. We do not process students in one door and out the other. We maintain a class limit of 12 in all of our classes so that we never lose touch with the individual needs of our students. Accelerated training is tough, don't let anyone tell you they have some "magic knowledge transfer formula" that makes it all easy. That means that students more than ever need individual attention from their instructor. We keep our class size small so that we never short change anyone by not answering a question or concern. That one unanswered question can lead to a series of miss-understandings later in the course.
Experienced, Quality Instructors
Our instructors are also veterans of the real world. At FLS our instructors are carefully chosen. High quality instructors are not the result of simply gaining an MCT credential from Microsoft. They must have a combination of long experience both in the classroom and in the field. They must be able to break down complex technical subjects into digestible and clearly understandable terms and they must always be able to pick up on the nonverbal queues that students can exhibit when they don't understand something. Our instructors have these skills.
Large and Open Facilities
Our facilities are large, open and designed to give our students everything they need without any distractions. Each student has their own computer with plenty of desk space around it. The unique center monitors at each desk make it easy to see what the instructor is demonstrating without any dimmed lights or fuzzy projection systems. Each classroom has its own temperature controls and most have windows so you never feel closed in. One of our primary principles at FLS is to always give our students an environment in which they can succeed.
Leading Equipment
We have leading machines in every classroom so that students always have plenty of equipment to work with. In addition to having their own computer, there are always extras that can be used for special labs and scenarios. Students also have full time high-speed Internet access in all classrooms so they can easily stay in touch with e-mail and world events.
Proven Track Record
For almost ten years, FLS students have continually achieved one of the highest pass rates anywhere. This is the result of the combined effort of the students themselves, and, the dedication of the instructors and staff involved.
