In-House Training
In-House Training
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of on-site
trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you the opportunity to
customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more personal learning experience,
while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for your department or for an
organization-wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by the American Strategic Management
Institute will create an intimate training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent
within your organization.

We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf” solution. While many training
providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, the American Strategic Management Institute’s
subject matter experts will work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact
areas of need. The identification of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with
participants while at the same time providing immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive
exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors can address specific
challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are
focused on smaller groups, the American Strategic Management Institute also has the ability to accommodate
organization-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, The Institute has the capacity to deliver courses
to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
