Training budgets
Tuesday, May 5, 2009@ 10:30 AM
What seems to be happening more and more is rather than wanting an off the shelf course, companies are more interested in something bespoke and preferably short. They just don’t have the resources at the moment to have staff out of the office on courses for days at a time. And they really want to feel they are getting something that exactly matches their needs. The positve result is that lazy trainers and less good courses will start to disappear. Also there does seem to be a demand for on-site training. I’ve delivered several in-house courses recently like this. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data.
Yes. The costs of training have been getting higher in recent years, especially when it is held in a hotel or training centre.
The real problem is the amount of time people are away from their desks. I have found that on site training to small groups in ‘bite size’ sessions is proving popular. However, most of the people being offered training are senior managers, and very often it is more junior people who would benefit more. So the challenge is how we can offer training at a price that becomes affordable for everyone and not just a select few.
