1. Now in Ft Lauderdale   

   Increased demand for "mainstream" courses paves way for
   expansion as sites convert to NT.   

   JES & Associates recently opened its first permanent facility 
   on the East Coast, conveniently located in beautiful Ft. 
   Lauderdale, Florida. It offers the unique package of services 
   our clients have come to expect: great classes, convenience 
   to a major airport, great deals on accommodations, and a place 
   where you might want to stay for the weekend to unwind
   with virtually any type of recreation you can imagine.

2. Need An MCT? 

   In preparation for becoming a Microsoft ATEC, JES attracts top
   training talent.   

   We have our first MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) on board now, 
   and have another six in the laboratories at the moment. An MCT 
   ticket means that this individual has completed a rigorous set 
   of classes offered by Microsoft, and has passed testing to assure 
   that the information was retained and recallable. This is 
   considered a fairly prestigious title, a full step above the 
   MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer), a rigorous 
   certification unto itself, and widely considered the baseline 
   of knowledge necessary for a person who intends to support NT 
   in the enterprise. Read More About our NT Courses at:

3. Training Partnerships 

   Teaming with JES offers a package of top-notch education and
   profit to your bottom line, without any heavy lifting.   

   If you are in the position to refer clients for training, 
   you have several choices:

   - You could do it yourself by hiring someone with extensive 
     experience, providing them the time to develop the materials, 
     building and equipping a facility with state-of-the-art 
     projection systems and workstations, marketing and 
     administrating the classes.
   - You could send them to "the factory", athough we feel that 
     our instructors are necessarily more responsive and receptive 
     to yours and your client's specific needs, plus, they're 
     chock-full of real life information. 
   - You could send them to JES, while making the client 
     knowledgeable (guaranteed), saving them money, and assuring 
     that they will be comfortable with the information
     they receive, with just a phone call or an email.  

   We'd like to invite you consider JES for your training needs. 
   We're the only company uniquely equipped to teach: Windows NT, 
   Visual BASIC, UniVerse, Unidata, jBase, Pick / Advanced Pick / D3, 
   Unix, wIntegrate, Data Warehousing, and virtually any 
   Internet-related subject imaginable.
