For over thirty-five years, ESF has been offering its clients' a variety of material, tools, and processes to enable an organization's employees to become Professional Trainers in each aspect of the trainer's job.
Our clients have been many and varied. Some of the projects have been comparatively simple. A considerable number have been stimulating and intellectually challenging. They required considerable training skills, besides, of course, the creative inputs.
Below, is a select list of some of the different types of projects, we have developed for our clients. For your convenience, they are further divided into seven categories. You can visit the Projects and Portfolios to know more about individual projects in detail.

Schering-Plough

Beginning in 2003, ESF trained Schering-Plough's staff in the IDLS process to develop modules at their sites. ESF certified several of their trainers both in the U.S. and Ireland to train staff members in designing training materials. These materials are further developed into distance learning materials and made available through their intranet to employees throughout the world.

Merck & Company

- SOP Survey
In 1998, ESF interviewed every department within the Rahway site to obtained all SOP titles and SOP training information. The survey categorized the training from On-the-Job (OJT) to Competency-Based.
- Merck Development Projects
Beginning in 1994, ESF trained Merck & Company's staff in the IDLS process to develop modules at many of their sites including West Point, PA and Rahway, NJ.
ESF also developed several training programs for Merck, such as:
- Fluid Manufacturing
In 1998, ESF developed Merck's Fluid Manufacturing Program Task Analyses by reviewing the client's documentation, getting feedback from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and videotaping West Point's new department 110 Fluid Manufacturing operation. The Task Analyses were converted into Performance Checklists for the Fluid Manufacturing operators.
- Sampling Raw Material in the Warehouse
In 1998, ESF developed Merck's Sampling Raw Material Task Analyses, self-paced, self-instructional interactive Workbooks, Instructor Guides including presentation slides, and hands-on skills lab for the Rahway division. ESF also conducted an on-site validation (field test) for the Sampling module.

Ortho-McNeil
ESF developed a series of instructional materials for Ortho-McNeil on how to operate and clean the Fette Compression Machine (models 3000 and 3100) used to produce pharmaceutical tablets. Twelve modules were developed for this project.

Hoffman-La Roche Laboratories
In the early 1970s, ESF developed Task Analyses and further specifications for the jobs of Sales Representative and Division Sales Manager of Hoffman-La Roche Laboratories. Initial stages of the work involved soliciting opinions from many current holders of these two positions through a mail survey and through personal interviews. One reason for Hoffman-La Roche's activity in this line of endeavor was to create an objective means of evaluating performance in these positions.
In addition, sales personnel felt a need for specification of their duties. As usual when dealing with a nationally-active sponsor, ESF attempted to gain as broad as possible a knowledge of the thoughts and recommendations of the real Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs), i.e., those who have performed the jobs in question successfully. Personal interviews were held throughout the country. At selected sites, ESF personnel accompanied the Hoffman-La Roche Salesmen on their marketing rounds. At each stage of the process, i.e., after the mail survey, the personal interviews, and the on-site observation, the Task Analysis was completed.
