Monarch Model Bundle

The Monarch Model Bundle is one 2-day Monarch training (choose Basic Monarch or Intermediate Monarch) followed by one day of model consulting for a total of three days. The Model building portion is an educational experience during which students can work with their actual source files and create models for immediate use. The instructor will circulate and meet with students individually and provide expert suggestions and guidance. Group discussions may naturally occur and add to the richness of the experience.

Please keep in mind that the students will be building the Monarch models and the instructor will be lending expertise, guidance, and creative ideas – the instructor will not have adequate time or knowledge of your specific source data and business practices to make informed recommendations. It will be the responsibility of the students to thoroughly understand the objective and their individual source reports with regard to content, variations, and inconsistencies. It is recommended that students thoroughly test the models they create before deploying them in a live setting.
