Why Invest
in EPIC Education?
The
EPIC System is a very powerful and comprehensive bingo hall
management tool. If your employees are not fully aware of EPIC's
features, or have difficulty making them work together, then the tool is
underutilized. Worse yet, if they are struggling with getting accurate
data in or out of the system, then the tool has become a
hindrance. If they don’t use this
tool effectively, then the profitability of your organization may be at
risk. An investment in comprehensive
training from the EPIC experts is the solution to these problems. An
investment in training may also pay big dividends in the form of
increased employee morale and retention.
Training
Alternatives
Melange offers a variety of education opportunities to meet your varied

Onsite Training if you require a trainer to come to your location. Classroom
Education is the best alternative if you have a few people who need
intensive training. And we recommend Specialized
Web Access Training if you have a specific issue that an hour or two
of training will resolve. We also offer a once per year two-day seminar
named EPIC University which provides a general
overview of EPIC and our other products. If you need further information

Once
each year, we host an educational conference to familiarize
customers and potential customers with new and perhaps under-used
aspects of EPIC. Bingo managers and operators from all over the
country gather to share ideas, procedures, and to ask tough
questions of the EPIC authors. The seminar is ideal for novices and
EPIC experts alike. It is the perfect primer, refresher, and
continuing education tool. Click Here

Customized Onsite Training
 |
This
is the best option if you have several people at a variety of skill
levels to train and wish to use your data in the process. Our
trainer will come to your facility and provide customized training
based on your direction.
|
 |
You
supply us with your training needs - such as who needs to be
trained, what they need to learn, and when you would like to
schedule a trainer.
|
 |
We’ll
select the best trainer or trainers for your needs, estimate how
long the training will take, and then send you a price quote.
Trainers are available on a fee-per-day basis, plus
reasonable and customary travel expenses.
|
 |
Onsite
training could also include a one-day Efficiency Analysis Review if
you wish. The trainer will
analyze your product usage and make recommendations as appropriate. These
recommendations may include procedural changes, implementing some of
the existing features of Epic not currently in use at your hall, or
recommending add-on modules that you are not using.
|
Classroom Education
 |
This
is the best option if you have between one and four individuals who
need intense hands-on-training on one or several specific aspects of
The EPIC System.
|
 |
We
provide training sessions at our office where the class
size is limited to 12 students. The
students are provided course materials, access to EPIC using test
data, and individual attention.
|
 |
Course fees are based on the type and level of content
and are charged per-student. |
Specialized Web Access Training
 |
This
is the best option if you have one or two individuals that need
training on a very specific issue or a manager who needs an overview
of the system.
|
 |
You
determine your training needs and call or email your request.
|
 |
We
determine the best trainer, schedule the event, and send you a user
name, password and phone number to call.
|
 |
You
will need a PC with IE5 and access to the Internet.
If you are using a dial-up connection, you will also need a
second telephone line to phone us while you are online.
A high-speed Internet connection is preferred for optimum
performance. (Cable
modem, ISDN, DSL, T1, Fractional T1)
|
 |
Your
system may be required to load a small application which will occur
automatically. You will then see the trainer's PC screen. This
is called a "shadow" session.
|
 |
You
then place a call to your trainer at the phone number provided.
|
 |
Your
trainer then takes you through the training over the phone, while
you view their PC screen and interact with them via the web
interface.
