Six Organizations in Netherlands Join Bentley Enterprise Training Subscription Program.ROTTERDAM, Netherlands -- Four Municipalities, Two Civil Engineering Firms Get Unlimited Access to Training on Bentley Software for a Fixed Annual Fee Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated today announced that Dutch municipalities Deventer, Hengelo, Haarlem, and Spijkenisse, along with civil engineering firms Koop Tjuchem and Temid, have joined Bentley's Enterprise Training Subscription program. The Enterprise Training Subscription (ETS ETS Educational Testing Service (nonprofit private educational testing and measurement organization) ETS Emergency Telecommunications Service ETS Electronic Trading System ETS Engineering (&) Technical Services ) program from the Bentley Institute offers user organizations convenient, unlimited training on Bentley software products for a fixed annual fee. Courses cover products offered for all AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission disciplines in building, civil, plant, and geospatial Geospatial is a term widely used to describe the combination of spatial software and analytical methods with terrestrial or geographic datasets. The term is often used in conjunction with geographic information systems and geomatics. . As a better way to keep workers well trained, a Bentley ETS can increase productivity and profits, help retain employees, improve collaboration with partners, and enhance business agility. Unlimited access to courses maximizes training opportunities and streamlines administration, while the annual term simplifies budgeting and accounting. Deventer, Hengelo, Haarlem, Spijkenisse, Koop Tjuchem, and Temid all joined Bentley's ETS program because they recognize its overall value, and are convinced that the blended learning Blended Learning is the combination of multiple approaches to learning. Blended learning can be accomplished through the use of 'blended' virtual and physical resources. A typical example of this would be a combination of technology-based materials and face-to-face sessions used it provides will deliver substantial benefits during the subscription term. Hengelo and Haarlem were already spending equivalent dollars on training without the added benefits that an ETS provides, such as unlimited in-person and remote training, on-site training, and self-paced training through the ETS Resource Center. Both municipalities are migrating to MicroStation V8, the newest version of Bentley's flagship desktop product, and will be able to immediately take advantage of the on-demand training that's available with their subscriptions. This will allow users to become more productive on their new software faster and for a fixed cost. Koop Tjuchem and Temid each noted that the ETS program will enable users to be trained on the wide range of software applications from Bentley in a manner and at a time of their choosing. Moreover, they'll be able to do so at a known cost, for which the firms can budget in advance. Said E.J. Borrel, a regional manager for Koop Tjuchem, "We're convinced that Bentley's ETS program will have a very positive impact on our civil engineering firm. The first courses for MXROAD design software have already taken place and the Koop Tjuchem employees that participated were very enthusiastic and more than satisfied. They said that the instruction provided and course material used were very clear, easy to follow, interesting, and covered our working area." As a strategic benefit, a Bentley ETS helps organizations such as Deventer, Hengelo, Haarlem, Koop Tjuchem, and Temid respond quickly to workload The term workload can refer to a number of different yet related entities. An amount of labor While a precise definition of a workload is elusive, a commonly accepted definition is the hypothetical relationship between a group or individual human operator and task demands. demands.

With an ETS, labs and lectures can be delivered in person, remotely, or through self-paced learning.
