Follow on Google News | Price Is The Most Important Factor When Choosing TrainingIn a study conducted by the search service Findcourses.co.uk in October 2009, results show that price and location are the current deciding factors when considering which training to invest in.
By: Kate Butterworth Cost of training may be an issue in the UK for many companies, but people are realising that one way of surviving the recession is to develop existing skills and acquire new ones. Throughout 2009 unemployment has been rising, resulting in employers becoming very selective when taking on new employees or promoting existing staff. The more relevant qualifications and professional development a person has, the greater their chances. Additionally training can be used during appraisal discussions, as an incentive, or motivating factor as both employers and employees recognise that training results in retaining staff and increasing the value of individuals simultaneously. One of the main benefits for individuals looking to train during the downturn is that courses need not cost the earth. A large number of training providers in the UK are responding to the recession and the increased need for skills development by offering discounts or special offers, such as buy two courses and get the third free, or allowing multiple delegates to attend training for a set price. Another way of reducing company costs of training is to invest in on-site or in-house training or the increasingly popular e-learning training courses which eradicate travelling expenses. The longstanding belief in quality rather than quantity that the UK prides itself upon still has prominence in the world of Learning and Development as more than 20% of professionals see the ROI from top quality training courses from renowned providers. Findcourses.co.uk has continually witnessed HR Managers and L&D specialists seeking the training courses which have the best accreditations and customer testimonials.
