It provides a suite of automated tools to manage schoolhouse activities, reporting tools to aid decision makers, and new business practices to maximize efficiency and minimize duplication. This system supports the following functions: Student Management Provides training organizations with software tools for training management, student management, scheduling, tracking, and historical reports targeted for all technical training courses within the command. Also employs related resource scheduling, tracking, and utilization information. Standardizes student/course management data collection, reporting, and systematically modernized specific training functions. This phase also provided operational benefits for future implementation phases. Currently used by over 5,000 faculty members. Supports approximately 1,800 courses. Manages over 30,000 new students each year. Manages Advanced Skill Level Training. Tracks over 100,000 students annually. Integrates an automated Instructional System Design (ISD) process with a central database at six training locations. The course data automatically populates the Student Management data necessary for the student management process. Customer requests required the development of several course control document templates necessary for course developers. Reduced course development from 8 ? 10 months to 10 ? 12 weeks! Query Capability Established the need to provide query capability to Training Leadership at all levels. Provides the Training Leadership with the necessary access to TTMS production data through a series of pre-defined cubes. Evaluation This phase will modernize and automate the course evaluation process. The initial deployment is defined as fielding non-TTMS integrated software at the six training locations for Graduate Assessment Surveys (GAS), End-of-Course Critiques and Course Evaluation/Validation. The final phase will integrate the field evaluation questionnaires and Testing. Resource Management This phase will allow users to manage all facets of resource management to include shared utilization of major equipment items, determine equipment utilization rates, and facility utilization. Employee Management This phase will provide management insight to instructor qualifications, define instructor-training requirements, and document instructor-training accomplishments. This will also serve as the instructor?s formal record set. We invite you to learn more about our experience and expertise.
