One to One Training Course

Is it right for me?

The majority of training in business is not done in the classroom, but on the job! However, many employees are never shown how to train their colleagues effectively, leading to inefficiency, lost productivity and increased costs. This course will be for senior team members who have the responsibility to train others on elements of their day-to-day job. The course will focus on adopting a standard approach to training on a 1:1 basis that takes into account different learning styles and improved retention of knowledge. The programme will be highly practical and will allow participants to be able to implement these skills once back at work.

What will I get out of it?

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Understand how people learn differently
• Identify the most effective way to train individuals
