Powerful Distribution Designer Development

One x One Coaching

We offer one-on-one designer development coaching and training. We will work with you in person, on a call, and video conference. Our 6-month program will set a designer up with the fundamentals for developing a successful career.

There are many benefits to working 1x1. We can customize a plan of attack together, and alter things as we go because there's just one student to consider. It's easier to set goals, work on trouble areas, and break up training into smaller, customized chunks and adjust the speed of instruction to suit the student's learning style and needs.

Small Group Education

Our designer development group program may be ideal for teams who have 2-4 new designers. A reduced student-instructor ratio allows us to connect with individuals, reinforce concepts and assess comprehension.

Benefits of Small-Group Instruction

• Individualized Learning - Allows the instructor to evaluate students’ learning strengths and tailor lessons to them.
• Confidence - The 1x1 attention received from small-group instruction activities can boost the confidence of students who may otherwise have a hard time joining the conversation.
• Opportunity for feedback - There is more time for students to ask questions, and it promotes feedback that may not be possible in a large class setting.
• Collaboration - Small group activities encourage teamwork and inclusivity. Everyone participates and is working toward the same goal.

Quality Assurance

Behind every great designer, is a great Quality Assurance & Quality Control program supporting them. Civetta offers professional, efficient QAQC services for electric distribution designs and construction work order packages.

Our QAQC program philosophy is a bit different than most. We like to use quality check comments and markups for positive teaching opportunities, instead of, "Here are my markups, in red ink, that shows all of the mistakes you made."

There is research that suggests that the use of a red pen may convey unintentional negative emotions. So, for starters, we use blue or green for our design markups. A meaningful explanation and clear direction should also accompany every quality design check that goes back to a new designer.
