    Abco Computer Training Course Paves the Way for a Vertical Career Growth

    Posted by admin on September 1, 2010

    If you are considering training for yourself or your employees, it is important to go beyond computer expertise and look for a trainer who understands the principles outlined in this and last month’s articles. It is not necessarily important for the person to be trained as a teacher–I have seen many excellent trainers who never took an “education” course, but who simply had a knack for communicating what they know. Experience, however, is another matter. If a trainer has taught computer courses regularly at a local college or training institution, this is a good indication of teaching ability. References from satisfied trainees or companies are also important. Training for yourself or your staff is one of the best investments you can make, but like any other investment, it should be made carefully. Check the trainer’s background!

    Student self-respect is also important. A good trainer must develop the feeling that it’s okay to be wrong and that being wrong does not imply that a student is ignorant. I sometimes ask a student to explain how he arrived at an answer before I reveal whether it is correct or not. If it is wrong, I may say something like “I can see how you arrived at that conclusion” before I explain. The student understands the error but feels good about him/herself as a logical thinker who made an intelligent (but incorrect) choice.

    An Itil Training Course ? is it Really Meant for Me?

    Posted by admin on August 26, 2010

    I had never really paid much attention to ITIL training, let alone any other type of training, until the other day when I walked into the office and saw a big notice on the training board announcing an ITIL training course was commencing in the afternoon for all staff.

    As I read the notice, I realised my organisation had decided that they needed to be more serious about ITIL training. The Top Brass even believed that making a few team leaders aware of the pertinence of ITIL training was not enough; the entire organisation needed an ITIL training course. This meant all staff had to be involved, at every level within the organisation, as ITIL adoption and practice is a cultural change rather than just a change for one or two individuals. 

    If the grapevine was to be believed, it was an attempt to analyse the aptitude of all staff, and maybe plan some downsizing. I didn’t know what to believe, but I knew I wasn’t looking forward to the training. In the past I had always averted training courses as I was afraid of looking ‘silly’ in front of my peers, but today there was no getting out of it as the training had been scheduled for this afternoon.

    Would a P3o Training Course Really Benefit My Business?

    Posted by admin on August 20, 2010

    I was on the train travelling to London, reading the newspaper, when an article caught my eye about the launch of the P3O guidance from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), and P3O training courses. As somebody who had attended training courses from the OGC, such as PRINCE2, I was immediately intrigued as to what this new course could offer me and my business, so I decided to research around the topic.

    It wasn’t hard to find information about P3O once I started to look, as the launch had been quickly followed by press releases and publications announcing the commencement of accredited P3O training courses. I decided to spend some more time looking into P3O and the P3O training courses because I had some questions I wanted answered: what was P3O? Were there any concerns about P3O? Would P3O become ‘just another’ accreditation on my CV? How would P3O benefit my business? And lastly; were there different P3O training courses suitable for all members of my staff?

    My research found the answers I was looking for: P3O represents 3P’s for Portfolio, Programme and Project. The P3O model basically works at providing a support structure for all internal changes, and this was one aspect I was very interested in for my business. As I explored deeper into that aspect, I found the P3O guidance from OGC is a step to offer a single source of information, thereby enabling a universally applicable guidance. I felt this was an ambitious plan, because before P3O, there wasn’t a single definite source to seek assistance from. I knew from my training with PRINCE2 and Management of Risk that they do refer to the requirement of adequate support system, but nothing as robust as P3O.

    Thinking Of Starting A Plumbing Training Course?

    Posted by admin on August 2, 2010

    A plumber training course can give you all the qualifications you need to enter the industry – and even start working for yourself. Whether you want to switch careers, or get your first step on the job ladder, a course in plumbing is a great way to gain the skills to succeed.

    Is now a good time to start a plumbing course?

    UK plumbers are in decline. Thousands of Eastern European migrant workers are returning home because of the downturn in construction and the weakening pound. Add to that the hundreds of plumbers attracted to Australia through recruitment drives, and it’s predicted there will be a big shortage of NVQ skilled plumbers in the coming years.

    So, now is a great time to consider starting a plumber training course. Equipping yourself with the right skills could put you in a very strong position to take advantage in future.

    What to look for in a plumbing course

    UK workers should look for courses that offer qualifications through the City & Guilds, BPEC, LOGIC and CITB certifications, all the way to NVQ Level 2 and Level 3. That might seem like a long list of letters, but in other words it’s all the certification you need to become a qualified plumber.

    These days you don’t have to attend your local college to get the qualifications you need. There are now online plumbing courses that allow you to work through the theory in your own time – while still offering hours of practical training. This is ideal for those looking for a fresh new career change later in life.

    A training course is required from time to time if you want to develop your career. It is not possible for you to be an expert at everything. This is where training courses come in to educate you on things that you are not aware. So identify a training course that you feel will add value to you in terms of career prospects and start attending it without delay. Make sure you have a clear idea about what topics will be covered during the training. It is not enough just to attend the training only. You should be able to apply it in real life too. So try and internalise the learning as much as you can. At the end of the training course, you must have the necessary skills to accomplish tasks. Take your notes and summarize them in a way that it will be useful to you when you need it. You will not have enough time to go through all your notes. So keep a gist of the whole course in bullet points for easy reference.

    Training and development is a crucial part of our life. We need to sharpen our skills now and then. This is where training comes in. A proper training course successfully boosts employee morale and enhances productivity. A well-trained employee is a valuable asset to any organisation. There are essentially two kinds of training that is held – external and internal. The internal training program is usually organised by the HR department. The external trainings are organised by outside entities. You must attend both types if you want to have that edge at your workplace.
