NOVI, Mich. – June 27, 2006 -- Mastery Technologies, Inc., a leader in workplace health and safety training technology, today announced the release of its latest installment for the industrial-security sector, “Facility Security: General Industry," a Web- and CD-ROM-based instructional course that prepares industrial-facility workers to adhere to security regulations while recognizing and responding to activities that could threaten security, such as vandalism and terrorism. The course is the second co-published with content partner, Excal Visual. “Facility Security: General Industry," emphasizes the importance of the learners’ role in following facility-security procedures, and its cross-industry applications and qualification for IACET CEU credits make it a critical tool for all industrial workers.
The course educates learners about:
- Facilities that are critical to the economy and other services

“In this day and age when concerns about security and terrorism are a top concern of companies, "Facility Security: General Industry" is a critical tool to help businesses mitigate such risks and safeguard their investments,” said Bill Marker, president of Mastery Technologies, Inc. “Unfortunately, security breaches are sometimes unavoidable, so teaching employees how to respond to such situations can save both money and lives.”
"Facility Security: General Industry’s" 46 interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly. All questions in this course are fully narrated. Narrations enhance comprehension and are welcome support for learners with reading skill deficits and when English is the learner's second language.
Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage courses, provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory.
The Learner navigates through the course and its resources using the standard Mastery Control Bar. Course resources include a glossary of terms. A topical index provides a complete map to the instructional material. The learner can ask for all course information on any topic at any time during the lesson presentations.
