What type of training do I need?
How to find the right training for you by looking at your goals, skills, available training methods, course content and budget
Identify Your Goals
Think about what you want to achieve with the training. Are you looking to develop new skills, improve existing ones, or gain knowledge in a specific area? By looking at the course outline you can evaluate whether each course fits your objectives. You can also use the compare courses page to compare a number of courses which are of interest to you.Consider Your Current Skill Level
Assess your current knowledge and skills. If you're a beginner in a particular area, you might need an introductory course, otherwise you may choose to enrol on one of the more advanced courses. The prerequisites section on our course outlines will help you determine whether each course will be a good fit for you at your current level. Feel free to call us to chat through your training needs, we are always happy to help find the right course for you.Evaluate Training Methods
Different training methods can be more effective depending on your learning style. Various training techniques are used in our courses such as lectures, case studies, group exercises, simulations, and role-plays. It is also important to consider whether you would like to attend an in-person course or a virtual course. Classroom courses offer a focused environment and networking opportunities whilst virtual courses bring content straight to your desk, cutting out travel time and expenses. Both virtual and classroom courses offer an interactive learning environment, immediate feedback from experienced trainers, structured learning, and hands-on experience. Both forms of training offer the same level of quality, but your choice will depend on your personal preferences.Look at the Course Content
Ensure that the course content aligns with your goals. We set out the course content online as well as course objectives, prerequisites and skills you will gain by attending a course, therefore enabling you to 'get to know' the course before you attend. This will enable you to analyse various courses and confidently choose the right one(s) for you.Feedback and Evaluation
Consider how the training will be evaluated and how feedback will be collected. This can help you assess the effectiveness of the training and make improvements. For example, write down your personal goals before attending your course, than way you can ask the trainer specific questions based on your needs. Then, go back to your list one or two months after your course to see which objectives you have reached. This will also enable you to reassess and create new objectives. This proactive approach will help you feel confident and progress in subjects which matter to you.Cost and Budget
Training can be an investment, so it's important to consider the cost and whether it fits within your budget. There are a number of approaches you can take to make your training budget friendly. If you would like training for one person, consider booking a scheduled course, all of our scheduled courses can be found on the course schedule. However, if you are looking for a course for a higher number of delegates, a private course might be the most budget-friendly solution for you. If this is the case, request a quote for the course you are interested in, and you may be surprised at how budget friendly your quote will be!By considering these factors, you can make a more informed decision and choose the training that best meets your needs.
