Bespoke Training

by Kirsty on Dec.22, 2008, under Training & Development

There seems to be a growing problem in the current economic climate with employers denying employees study leave to attend courses, it seems that the trusts do not have the funds to be able to afford to cover it. This can cause problems as it can cause a decrease in motivation as they are not being allowed to develop in a professional capacity. It can also be costly to the staff as in many cases some companies charge a cancellation fee or do not offer refunds on fees already paid. However, there is good news in the times of doom and gloom there are bespoke courses which involve bringing the training to the employees. It is also known as in-house training.

There are a number of training companies that offer bespoke training, one such company is Medicology Ltd who have provided bespoke training to many trusts across the UK. The advantages of bespoke training include relatively low overall costs as you are bringing the training in-house thus either no or very little travel or accommodation expenses. A further advantage is that with bespoke training employers have the ability to work with provider to tailor the training to their unique specification.

    I agree, in house training can be far more cost effective as the client gets exactly what they ask for – which can be dangerous if the client asks for the wrong thing!!
