Hands-on Training 
PLM Leader Training is centered around the application of concepts learned through hands-on client site workshops. We provide a graphics workstation for every student so they can individually work with the software at their own pace.
Limited Class Enrollment 
We restrict the enrollment of our classes to 10 students to increase the effectiveness of the training. Limited class size encourages interaction and individual attention, thus increasing your ability to learn.
