Self-Paced Online Survey Clases

Through our Great Brook School on the Teachable platform

Great Brook's Teachable Online Training School

We have made our Survey Workshop material available through the Teachable online platform at our Great Brook School.

The material at this virtual school is the same as we provide in our live, in-person classes.  (In fact, since we’re not restricted to 8-hour days, there’s slightly more content in our online classes.)

We combine the record class lectures with live Q&A with Dr. Fred, including a survey review, just as we do with our in-person classes.

As professional educators, we do believe live, in-person instruction provides the best learning experience, but sometimes logistical concerns don’t allow for in-person attendance.  We’ve striven to make the virtual, self-paced courses as strong a learning experience as possible.

Washington DC Area Workshops:

September 23-25, 2024

Embassy Suites Old Town Alexandria

Hotel view from Metro platform

We were hoping to make our annual trip to Washington DC area for a fall workshop at the Embassy Suites, 1900 Diagonal Road, Old Town Alexandria, Virginia Tel: +1 (703) 684-5900 after Covid has prevented our classes for the past few years.

We love this area for our workshops because:

  • The hotel is so convenient to the Washington Metro (King Street stop), Amtrak (ALX, co-located with the Metro King Street station), and to Reagan National Airport (DCA, about 5 miles or 2 Metro stops from the hotel).  The nearby picture of the Embassy Suites hotel we took from the King Street Metro platform.  Yes, it’s that close!
  • The neighborhood.  It’s a pleasant walk down King Street into Old Town Alexandria toward the Potomac.  You’ll find an array of shops and interesting, local restaurants, many with sidewalk dining, as evening distractions after a solid day of learning — and some historical sightseeing if you can spare a day on either end of your trip

This is typically a very popular class location.  In fact, in 2018, we had to book a 2nd class in November to deal with the overflow.  Hopefully, we’ll have the same “problem” again in future years.

Dubai Workshops: Spring 2024 TBD

Dubai Skyline

Once a year — sometimes more — we travel to the Middle East to deliver our workshops in Dubai.  Attendees from throughout the Middle East, Africa, and sometimes Europe make this a very interesting workshop as we learn about cultural influences on surveying practices.  Also, it’s an opportunity to explore this modern city and its grand scale, such as the world’s tallest building, the world’s largest shopping mall, or another shopping mall with an indoor ski slope. (Really)  But Dubai is also an ancient city with historical venues and souks to explore.

The nearby photo was shot from the rooftop lounge of the Four Points hotel.  The Burj Khalifa, world’s tallest building, is the spire in the background in the center of the photo.

Our business partners, Insights Middle East, manage these events including registration & pricing.  For more information and to register for these classes, please contact Insights Middle East.  We usually run the workshops in conjunction with a conference of theirs on contact (call) center management, so perhaps you’ll find broader opportunities to learn beyond improving your survey practices.
