UK companies often depend on informal training programs. New employees are taught by the manager or another employee. This takes the trainer away from the normal duties so the company effectively loses two employees during this period. It leads to situations of A training B who trains C who then trains D and so on. It's a bit like making a photocopy of a photocopy - things get muddled.
When it comes to more advanced concepts like Dream Weaver training, UK organizations still depend on the same training model. However more companies are seeing the advantages of outsourcing. Here are just a few reasons why your company should abandon its inefficient method of internal instruction.
Learn from experienced users - People can teach only from their own pool of knowledge. It is common for workers to learn only what they need to do their jobs, not realizing that additional skills are out there that would make their jobs easier. Instructor-led training gives staff access to people who are experienced with every subtle aspect of the software.
Professional trainers - Teaching is a skill and it's not a skill that everyone has. It involves more than just telling someone how to do it. Training happens much faster when it comes from someone with the skill of passing information on to others.
Concentrated learning - Training an employee on the job is subject to any number of distractions. For example, the trainer might be called away to deal with urgent situations from their regular job. Attending a course means the trainee has nothing to do but learn and the instructor nothing to do but teach.
Structured courses - On-the-job training is usually a matter of serial instruction with no overall organization. Instead the trainee is subjected to a confusing barrage of new concepts, often interrupted by backtracking and side notes. A carefully planned course makes it easier and less frustrating to learn.
Specialized curricula - Contrary to the fears of some managers, many courses don't use one-size-fits-all Dream Weaver training. You can customize the material to your organization's needs.
Cost effective - Since you are not taking a trainer away from some other duties, you don't lose productivity there either. It is more cost effective than a dedicated internal training department, since you pay only as training is needed rather than the fixed cost of a full-time salary.
Outsourced learning is faster and more efficient. Learning from an instructor trained in the material and trained in how to teach is the best way to learn anything. UK training organizations employ qualified and experienced instructors to give you the best training experience for the money.
