Choosing a Training Course

Choosing a good quality training course can be difficult. A quick search on Google will throw up many training providers...

So how do you know you are selecting the best provider?

Choosing a Training Course

There are some questions you should ask about the training provider before you place your business with them.

The answers you get will help to ensure that you are making the right decision and will get a return on your investment.

Question 1: What experience do your tutors have?

A good tutor needs to have real life experience of the subject they teach, otherwise how can they possibly teach you what they haven’t done!

At Spearhead Training we have hand picked our tutor team. Every one of them has a proven track record in business before they are allowed to join our elite training team.

Question 2: What proportion of the week do the organisation’s trainers spend actually delivering training?

Training to a consistently high standard is exhausting. Beware of training companies who expect their tutors to train every day, week in week out. This is simply a recipe for exhaustion and exhausted trainers can not give you their best.(This can also be the case for trainers who have to do everything – such as one-man-bands)

At Spearhead training we limit the number of training days our tutors teach to an average maximum of three days per week. This means you will get a fresh and highly dedicated trainer when you attend one of our courses.

Question 3: Do you train your trainers

Good trainers need to constantly update their own skill sets and seek out new information to include in their courses.Ask what does the training company does to support their trainers development?

At Spearhead Training we invest heavily in our tutor development. This ensures that they provide you with the highest quality and most effective training for your people.

Question 4: How many delegates will be on the course?

The more delegates there are on a course the less time the tutor has to focus on meeting your training needs.

At Spearhead we want to give you individual attention and help, so we limit the number of people who can attend each course.

Question 5: How do the trainers train? Training is most effective when the it is interactive. A good trainer is one who helps you to discover the key training points.

At Spearhead Training we use the most up to date interactive training methods. These include:• Participative tutor led discussions• Group exercises to build understanding• Case studies that allow review of different scenarios so you learn how to

deal with them• Self-assessment questionnaires• Skill development sessions using role-plays and simulations• Individual guidance and tutor feedback

Question 6: What support is provided after the course?

A good training course is just the starting point as your learning should continue after you leave and start to put into practice the things you have learnt. A good training company will provide you with on-going support during this process.

At Spearhead Training we provide an exceptional level of post-training support. After every Spearhead open course you will receive:

A comprehensive package of reading materials to take away.

A series of e-learning modules, delivered at regular intervals to your in-box.

Genuine unlimited access to our delegate post-training support line, which is staffed our tutor team.
