Open Courses
In these challenging times business costs rightly come under scrutiny. One of the first areas to come under the spotlight, for all the wrong reasons, is training and development which is often seen as ‘non-essential expenditure’. However, higher performing organisations (coincidently?) recognise an opportunity to stay ahead of their competitors by continuing to invest in their most powerful resource to improve things - their people. They manage to do so in a way which makes the most of the available budget.
During 2008, Structured Training has increasingly seen customers with specific training needs for small numbers of people see the value in our open courses portfolio. They benefit from a short time way from the business with an intense focus on skills development that can be immediately applied back in the workplace. With this in mind, our 2009 open programme portfolio has been further enhanced to deliver even better value for money.
- All Open Courses Are Now Non-Residential = Reduced Accommodation Costs. All of our courses have been revised and will be delivered around a non-residential format. This means participants have the option of saving up to £336 per course by choosing not to stay overnight at the conference centre. Evening work will either be done in an early evening session or be able to be completed in the participants own time. For those participants who do need or want to stay, we have still negotiated great rates for you.
- Free 12-Month E-Learning Pass. After attending our open courses, participants will be given a free 12 month e-learning pass, worth over £350, giving them access to four subject related e-learning modules from our portfolio of 23 modules. If they wish to purchase more modules during the 12 months they can do so at a reduced cost of £25 per module (retail rate is £90).
- Learning Pathways Discounts. At Structured Training we believe training should be an ongoing process and not a one off hit. Therefore after attending one of our open courses you will receive a discount voucher giving you 20% off the total cost of a follow on course if you attend within a 12 month period. This could give you another potential saving of £200.
- Minimum Time Away - Maximum Business Impact. Time is a critical and expensive resource for any individual in today’s competitive business environment. All of our courses are between 1-3 days and provide an intensive learning experience to make the most out of the time available and reduce the individual’s time away from the business.
- New For 2009. We’ve also introduced a series of one day masterclasses, delivered by our Managing Director Andrew Brown, around a selection of hot topics including Leading and Managing Remote Teams, Creating a Coaching Culture, How To Build A High Performance Culture and Developing A Vision, Values And Goals Framework.
