Eric Bergwall, President of Bergwall Productions, Inc, says “All of our Online Courses have been meticulously written by ASE Certified Master Technicians. Our crystal-clear writing style is the backbone to our eye-popping, high-quality Video sequences detailing important shop skills and correct procedures. The content is professionally produced and more importantly, it’s accurate. Produced in America, there are no problems with foreign terminology or translations.”

With the availability of State-wide Licenses, all of the Instructors and Students in the State will be on the same page. Bergwall can help upgrade and standardize instructional programs.

Mr. Bergwall also say’s, “While our Online Courses can certainly be used for group instruction, the real value is in the self-paced individual instruction. These Online Courses are available from any Internet connected computer 24/7. In other words, these brand new Online Courses are accessible in the Auto Shop, the Media Center, the School Library, at Home, at a friend’s house or even at the Public Library. The self-instruction application of these Online Courses is particularly important. They actually help to build a sense of accomplishment. In addition, no matter how many times the student needs to go over the materials, the computer will never tease him or call him stupid. “

One of the great benefits of these Online Courses is that they support the strongest motivation for success in school, namely student INTEREST. Their motivation, personal INTEREST will carry the student beyond the walls of the school. Our experience shows that students will spend time studying with these Online Courses because they want to SUCCEED.
