| ABComm™ Ltd. acquires Training Certification (Ottawa, Ontario) September 18, 2000-- ABComm Ltd., an Ottawa- based exhibit management and education firm, is pleased to announce that Anne Barron, CME, has completed her Training Generalist Professional Trainer Certification with Langevin Learning Services, the world's largest train-the-trainer company. Langevin has certified over 4,400 training professionals in North America. In today's competitive marketplace, it is essential for companies to provide staff training in all areas. ABComm specializes in Exhibit/Event Marketing training for those individuals responsible for developing the internal Exhibit/Event Marketing strategy as well as for those individuals who staff the booth. Langevin's workshops provide step-by-step procedures to follow (rather than theories and concepts) using the Performance-Application-Feedback (PAF) method. This method aids immensely in learner retention. It allows learners to go back to their jobs and immediately perform skills which have already been practiced in a safe, comfortable environment. "Langevin's hands-on, performance-based approach to learning complemented our training programs which are designed in consultation with a doctoral candidate of education. Instructor Certification has further enhanced the quality of learning and retention experienced by participants through needs analysis, creativity, handouts, etc. We are extremely pleased to offer our clients and the region access to our unique content and the highest quality training programs in Exhibit/Event Marketing," remarked Barron. ABComm Ltd. offers comprehensive Exhibit/Event Marketing services, from helping clients research and select the right shows and buying the right booth to achieve their goals, to on-site exhibit management, performance and competitive market analysis. Barron is president of ABComm Ltd., a bilingual, Ottawa-based Exhibit/Event Marketing and education consulting firm that has been offering exhibit management and consulting services since 1995. -30- |
