Training for Business

Prospectus

JANUARY - MAY 2022

1

We are pleased to share the latest Training for Business prospectus with you. The season will run from January until May 2022. This is our eighth year of providing bespoke industry specific business training courses for the land-based industries. Over that time, we have gained a significant amount of experience in getting to know what is of interest to each of you as a member and in what you expect from AEA Training for Business. Each year we refine our programme to ensure the content continues to be highly relevant, using trainers who know and understand our industries, and who tailor their training material accordingly.

Last year we introduced a selection of shorter, virtual training courses to the programme and they were very well received. We are pleased to confirm that they will feature again in this prospectus and each virtual training session will last between 1 and 2.5 hours. Our in-person courses take place over 1 or 2 days. As we will be running both virtual and in-person courses, we have indexed them separately in the prospectus for your ease of reference. Ones to highlight this year include three new courses presented to us by BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. The “Finance Unlocked” series offers an insight into how to ensure your finance options are covered when talking to a customer, whether from the dealer’s perspective or from a wholesale perspective enabling manufacturers/suppliers to offer a broader range of solutions to their dealers. It takes a look at what those options are. Also covered in one of the courses are the tax implications and how to convey them to your customer. We hope you find them valuable.

As most people will be aware, since restrictions were lifted in July, we are not mandated to impose restrictions on anyone joining our meetings in person. Your safety is, however, extremely important to us and we will continue to endeavour to put appropriate measures in place, however, depending on the numbers in attendance, we may not be able to maintain 2m social distancing for everyone during the course. We will provide hand sanitiser and request that you wear a face mask whenever you are moving around other parts of the building. You would also be welcome to wear a face mask during the meeting if you wish to do so.

Although it is not required to have a Covid test prior to attending the meeting, we would encourage you to take a lateral flow test, particularly if you are not double vaccinated. Of course, it goes without saying that anyone with a recent positive test result or who is displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 should not attend the meeting in person. More details on the logistics of our in-person training will be given upon booking, but if you would like more clarification of the safety-measures we are putting in place in advance, please do contact us.

Anyone involved in the Land-based engineering industries can enroll on our courses, whether members of the AEA or not. We offer discounted prices to member companies and to their dealers. Our courses are also recognised by the Institution of Agricultural Engineers for CPD hours, which will be of benefit to many of your employees who will be IAgrE members. We hope you will continue to support our Training for Business programme this season.
