How do training
programs work? |
|
Most companies introduce their workforce
to a training scheme at some time. After identifying a training
requirement most companies then look at the options available
to them |
|
Option one |
|
- The first and easiest option is to send
their people on public courses
|
|
Option two |
|
- The next option is to look for a training company to come
and deliver in-company training.
- Option one is usually used by smaller companies who cannot
afford to have too many people out of the office at any one
time.They may send all of their staff on a particular course
over a period of time. Option one is also used by larger companies
who only want to send a small number of people on a specialist
course
- Option two allows a company to choose the course modules
they want from the list available to them. In doing so they
may talk to a large company with many trainers or a small company
where the person they are discussing their training requirements
with is likely to deliver the training.

Experience |
|
In our experience they choose
the smaller company 90% of the time. The trainer is involved
with the client company right from the start, can tailor the
course to suit the client and the ensuing rapport often results
in the company coming back year after year to the same trainer. |
|
Extra courses |
|
- Most companies (70% plus) that have had training of two
or three days for their workforce usually want extra courses,
such as presentation skills, major account management or
managers trained in team management or interview skills.
- By the end of a financial year many companies have spent £20,000
plus and realize it was money well spent. Their sales increase,
profit margins are higher and they want to do the same next
year.
|
|
Every year |
|
Many companies are likely to
start a two or three day programme and run it every year. In
addition they often want a few courses similar to the previous
year for those who were unable to attend, or for new members
of staff. |
