Our expertise in all types of training,
whether classroom-based, simulator-based, or distance learning, ensures training solutions that are well suited to our client's objectives and culture. Our staff adhere to training requirements while conducting cost benefit analyses to guarantee that the best and most affordable solution is provided.

Barrios personnel take a disciplined, project management approach to developing new course material. Beginning with the analysis and definition of the requirements and flowing through the scheduling of the various components of course development, a training project is defined and managed.

We design and develop courses for instructors using a Barrios-designed Instructor Training Course. We provide the training and evaluate the performance of the instructor. Based on specific client requirements, we also offer an instructor certification program to ensure that instructors have mastered their topic and instructional techniques.

Our staff of experienced professionals evaluate our client's existing training to determine effectiveness and completeness. Our evaluations include recommendations as to improvement of course content, presentation formats, and instructional techniques. We develop evaluations to determine the student's mastery of the course content as well as evaluations of course delivery.

Barrios Technology has developed and provided Space Flight training since our company's inception in 1980. We have developed and conducted effective hands-on training for custom software applications. Since 1989, Barrios personnel have been instrumental in the formation of training programs for Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) crewmember and mission controller personnel. In conjunction with this effort, we developed methodologies and processes for producing training products across the ISS program. Barrios personnel also developed and implemented the Space Flight version of the Instructor Training Course, where technical engineers develop classroom and simulator instructional skills for astronaut training.

Another example of specialized training is the Space Flight Resource Management course. It specifically focuses on high-stress, rapid-response environments. The course provides team-based training to teach teams how to deal with errors and the appropriate ways to communicate and interact in high stress situations. This course, delivered by Barrios personnel, is provided to all flight controllers and the astronaut corps.
