What other educators are saying about emerit resources:
"I have used emerit training resources for developing course curriculum and have found them to be very helpful. The National Occupational Standards are very up to date and are easily converted into learning objectives. I have also used the emerit workbooks as training resources in the classroom and have found that students like the "hands-on approach" they offer. The fact that these workbooks were developed through consultation with industry ensures they are practical and transferable to the real world."
