| To
select an appropriate Training delivery mechanism for
any programme, various factors need to be considered such
as the training objectives and needs, the number and variety
of learners involved, timescales, budgets, and delivery
logistics. In many cases, sending staff on to public schedule
courses can be seen as the most cost-effective solution.
However, there are many other Training delivery mechanisms
that can also be highly effective in your organisation,
and may bring better return on your training investment.
The ultimate aim of most Training
programmes is to achieve business benefits from a change
in behaviour in the workplace resulting from the skills
and knowledge gained. This means the learners have to
put course theory into working practice. The sooner
each learner starts to apply course theory to their
own environment, firstly through conscious thought processes
in a design or planning mode, and then through actual
practice, the more thoroughly the learning is retained,
and the earlier the business benefit is achieved. Ideally
this starts during the Training programme itself, and
is possible with customised and tailored Training solutions.
Some example delivery mechanisms
are as follows:
- Standard course (public or privately delivered)
on a generic training environment
- Fully customised course delivered on a realistic
local environment
- Integrated course mixing generic course theory with
specific customised course practice
- Tailored course to cover different content from
the standard course topics
- Skills Transfer Workshops and Desk-Side support
- Computer Based Training solutions
Acuma can help you define the most
appropriate and cost-effective solution to meet your
specific training needs. Here is a summary of the main
pros and cons of each of the main delivery mechanisms.
