What are Command Spanish® e-Training programs?
Web-based Spanish language training courses that the student can take whenever and wherever they want, because they are asynchronous and non-instructor-led. These programs were designed to be efficient, effective, and not teacher-bound. Moreover, the

Command Spanish® online courses are designed to be efficient, reliable, and effective. These are one-of-a-kind programs. For many, the convenience and benefits of e-Training are too good to pass up.

All programs are based on the exclusive Language Power-Lock System™. What is the Language Power-Lock System™? The Language Power-Lock System™, created by Command Spanish®, Inc., revolutionizes language e-Training. Seven brain-compatible, interactive processes unite to provide contextualized, purposeful learning opportunities. The Language Power-Lock System™ employs an integrated “switchback method” to engage the learner through visual, auditory, and psychomotor pathways. These interactive learning processes provide adult learners with an easy, user-friendly, effective system for the learning and long-term retention of practical Spanish language for the workplace. Using the Language Power-Lock System™, developed by Command Spanish®, Inc, e-Training programs employ a wide variety of drills, exercises, and activities to ensure student mastery of the material. Importantly, each program includes a “record-back” option that allows the learner to compare the quality and accuracy of his or her Spanish with that of native Spanish speakers.

Command Spanish® e-Training programs are:
• Self-Paced (You, not an educational institution, decides at what pace you will take the course.)
• Asynchronous (You can start the course on any day, at any hour.)
• Non-Teacher-Led (You are not dependent on the availability of a teacher.)
• Based on Adult Education Principles
• Economical (You save gas and time by not commuting to and from class.)

Each Command Spanish® e-Training program includes important cross-cultural information and tips relevant to the specific occupation or profession that is being targeted. These cross-cultural capsules are designed to eliminate or reduce misunderstandings in the workplace.

All e-Training courses feature:
• Work-Specific Language;
• Non-Grammar Based Materials;
• Phonetic Encoding;
• Generic Spanish;
• One-Way Communication; and
• Diagnostic and Screen Questions.

Upon completion of each course, the learner will have immediate access to and be able to print his or her own personalized certificate of completion.
