Edcomm’s Teller Training program with System Simulation Training (SST) allows students to learn at their own pace in a non-threatening, simulated environment that looks and feels like the real Jack Henry Vertex System. By using Edcomm’s award-winning “Observe-Practice-Demonstrate” model, tellers are able to execute realistic transactions, and learn an assortment of tasks that are fundamental to fulfilling the requirements of today’s teller applications. The simulation program covers a series of real-world transactions including Check Cashing, Deposits, Teller Balancing, Account Opening, and Customer Searches — ensuring that the teller staff is fully prepared and up to speed for conversion, even before the system is fully ready to deploy.
