Why iShade Learning

iShade Learning can enhance your firm's training and development program by providing a robust, world-class, locally delivered curriculum of non-technical training to supplement your current technical training program – unleashing your firm's "EQ" potential.

"EQ" Matters

Can your firm afford not to develop the Emotional Intelligence skills of your future leaders? "EQ" does matter. A recent study found that firms which successfully develop Emotional Intelligence skills among their current and future partners enjoy 390% more incremental profit when benchmarked against an average firm.

World-Class Content and Facilitators

For many firms, providing their staff with desired technical training is fairly easy as there are several local and economical sources to choose from. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for most non-technical training – especially if you prefer courses that are customized specifically for the accounting profession.

iShade Learning allows firms to attend locally delivered training courses in his or her market, eliminating the time and travel costs associated with current CPE offerings. iShade Learning is not an online training solution, but rather your online ticket to live, local, world-class training and resources. Our facilitators are experts in their content area and are also intimately familiar with the accounting profession.

Training Blueprint

Our training courses are delivered in a recurring, multi-year sequence, which allows your firm to create custom learning ladders for your staff. A learning ladder is the blueprint for a firm's professional development program. When complete, the ladder identifies specific skills and competencies that accounting firm professionals should master at each stage of their career and maps them against a specific set of related training and educational offerings.

Similar to the AICPA's technical training learning ladder, iShade Learning lets you create a custom learning ladder for your firm which maps out what courses should be taken when, by whom and what competencies are gained. You can even manage everything online at iShade.com. Create, manage, implement and track your firm's training and development efforts – all with a simple click of a mouse.

Money Saving Solutions

iShade Training is affordable for all firms. The investment to subscribe is $5 per person per month ($60 per year). You can then send as many people to as many courses as you want for under $25 per credit hour.
