Why you are (probably) wasting money on classroom training...
After doing a number of interim management and consulting assignments and several years doing classroom training, several important things struck us
What are they ?
- Lack of well trained staff
- Lack of proper training evaluation – the “happy sheet” is about as scientific as it gets…
- Classroom training is expensive
- Arranging classroom training is difficult – Staff increasingly work flexible and non standard hours
- Large amount of management/supervisor time wasted repeating the same information.
- People are often all “sprayed the same colour” when it comes to training – and all sent regardless whether it is appropriate.
- Very difficult and time consuming to take action with underperforming staff.
So how can Sharp End Training help ?
The Sharp End Training coursebase is an online resource which features
- A training “sandwich”
- A short online test – to see if training is needed. Results are recorded.
- Online training activities and learning exercises. Results NOT recorded.
- A short test to measure training effect. Results are recorded.
- All courses are available online, without restriction anywhere a web connection is possible.
- Private password controlled website.
- Supervisor has access to test results instantly.
- A flat subscription fee payable with no surprises payable monthly.
How will this help me ?
By careful planning of coursebase use, the busy manager will be able to
- Get and keep scientific knowledge of staff progress and development
- Send only the people who need to go on training
- Gather information much quicker on people who perform poorly no matter how much training they receive
- Stop having to repeat training – it is online and reusable
- Control precious budgets better because costs are fixed.
But I don't have a lot of users ?
- We have a parallel site where you can learn on demand. Just pay as you go.
- Just click www.learn-on-demand.co.uk and start straight away...
