Training
WinPRISM session begin on Tuesdays and end on Fridays. The WinPRISM training curriculum is designed to provide college store personnel with the tools and knowledge they need to successfully use their computer system. WinPRISM is a comprehensive, sophisticated, yet easy to use system. Consequently, CBMS Systems Support has developed a training program to address the needs of those who work in the various departments of a college bookstore. Seven WinPRISM courses are offered in keeping with the diverse procedures and responsibilities which are unique to the varied departments found in a college bookstore. Two of the sessions, Install/Store Manager
and Financial Aspects, are designed for the store's decision maker, i.e., the
manager or director, assistant manager and/or business manager. Textbooks and
General Merchandise are designed
for buyers of textbooks and general merchandise.
The remaining three modules cover the Integrated Accounting System (IAS):
Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and General Ledger. Each WinPRISM session focuses on particular aspects of
the program from a
specialized point of view. Please
refer to the following pages for descriptions of the training sessions. Beginning with Fall, 2007, all training sessions will begin on Tuesday mornings and end Fridays at approximately 11:00 am. This will give participants the opportunity to travel on Monday, rather than travel during the weekend. Please see the Logistics page for more details about class times and travel recommendations. Our philosophy is that for
our customers to use WinPRISM successfully, they must spend time on the
computer with directed learning experiences.
Our training sessions are designed to do just that.
Enrollment in each training session is limited in order to ensure time
for individual attention and questions. Each
participant sits at a workstation which provides direct access to his or her
own training data. The class
works its way through a training manual which contains real-life exercises,
guided by our instructors, with each exercise building upon the previous one. The goal of each training
session is to send the participant home with practical knowledge that can be
used on the job. At the end of
each training session, a person new to WinPRISM will know how to get started
while a person who has already been using the program will have gained a
deeper understanding of the product.
In addition, he/she should know how to find answers to questions and
where to turn to for help. Training sessions are held at Nebraska Book Company's Systems Support location at 5240 South 19th Street in Lincoln, NE. This is a few blocks south of the Nebraska Book Company headquarters located at 4700 South 19th Street. For costs, hotel information and other details, click on the Logistics button.
