What distinguishes a TeleClass from a regular conference call?
TeleClasses are conducted by individuals trained in the art of delivering content-rich information in a way that evokes high participation from all attendees.

How effective is the TeleLeader if they cannot see the students?
The trained TeleLeader uses a skill set which is uniquely designed to develop rapport with every student on the TeleClass. Based on an understanding of the four ways people process information, the trained TeleLeader 'tunes in' to what is being communicated, how it is being communicated and how well the information is understood.

Don't people need to be in a classroom setting to be in a learning mode?
Actually, adults learn best in one-hour blocks of time. We have found that students want to learn when they are invited to participate and contribute to the subject being taught.

Can you explain the fees involved?
The TeleConference systems that we use are located in Portland, OR, USA. You will incur your normal long-distance charges. Some TeleLeaders offer FREE TeleClasses and you only pay the long-distance charge . For fee-based classes, you will be asked for your Credit Card.

Do I need to visit the catalogue to find out what classes are being offered?

What happens after I sign up for the class?
Seconds after you have signed up for a TeleClass, you will get an email confirming your registration and giving you the Telephone Bridge number and time for you to dial into the TeleClass.

So, when I dial the telephone bridge number, what happens ?
Dial the telephone bridge number at the extact time of your TeleClass. (Note: the times listed are in US Eastern time). You will hear a recording asking for a PIN or Access Code and enter it. Wait to be welcomed and acknowleged, in most cases you will hear the TeleLeader say, " who has joined us that we have not heard from", just state your first name.

How do I convert the Eastern Time that the classes are listed to my Time Zone?
Classes are listed in Eastern time (NY, USA time).

Each TeleClass Listing displays Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific US time zones as well as GT.
