Microassist is a well-established learning and development consulting firm based in Austin, Texas.
Established in 1988 as a technology training company, we combine traditional classroom training with custom-designed and delivered curriculum for the enterprise. Our expert instructional designers, writers, user experience and user interface designers, and technologists design classroom and elearning solutions to fit customer-specific organizational goals.
Training services also include staff augmentation services and managed learning services.
We partner with organizations to better educate their employees, constituents, and clients through the use of traditional classroom training, innovative elearning, mission-critical applications, and ever-changing technology. Microassist creates, delivers, and hosts custom training for our clients’ internal and external learners with a special emphasis in usability and accessibility.
As one of Central Texas’s most experienced software education centers, a primary training vendor for the State of Texas, and a Microsoft Certified Solution Partner, Microassist has successfully worked with clients in fields ranging from advertising, real estate, law, and politics to state and government agencies.
Curriculum Development and Delivery
To develop your curriculum, our instructional designers work with your experts to collect knowledge, pare it down to the essentials, and organize it. This enables those who are new to easily understand and master appropriate skills.
Once developed, we deliver your course to your learners.
Online courses can be delivered using a website or, if you need to track learner activity and test scores, via a learning management system. You can host our online courses in your own learning management system (our courses comply with industry-wide standards), or we can build or maintain a learning management system for you.
Accessible Elearning
A longtime government elearning provider, we have been developing accessible elearning for many years. We use industry standard, rapid elearning development tools to create rich learning experiences for all learners, including those who:
- use assistive technologies such as JAWS or magnifying software,
- require closed captioning for your narrations and videos,
- cannot move a mouse with precision, or
- may need more time to read and understand your content.
Our instructional design teams are well versed in Section 508, WCAG 2.0, and many state laws such as Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Chapters 206 and 213. Our design teams specialize in making elearning modules accessible in a variety of formats — HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, Word documents, video, audio, etc.
Training Program Management/Managed Learning Services
Microassist offers a full array of end-to-end training program management services. We look at the entire learning and development system— from your organization’s strategic vision to how to measure training effectiveness. Depending on your needs, we can develop and manage your entire training program or supplement your efforts in specific areas. The result is prioritized, tailored training that is consistently and efficiently delivered, reducing overall costs while increasing employee productivity.
