One of the most common questions we are asked is " Would it be better to run an in - house" course or to send individuals on a public or open course" The answer is quite simply it depends on your circumstances.
To help in evaluating your needs here are the differences and benefits of both!
In House
As the name suggests an in house training course is designed for your firm and will normally be delivered at your firm's premises, also the content is bespoke and will make reference to your specific challenges.
The benefits of this are:
- It is possible to design the course content and duration to meet your exact needs
- The training experience helps teams bond
- You can use the training to "kick start an initiative"
- Your Liddell Dunbar consultant will assist in ensuring that the training is implemented and produces ROI
- Lower cost if you have more than four people who need training
Public
A public course ( also called an open course) is a training course run by Liddell Dunbar at a central venue, and delegates will come from a variety of firms.
Public courses have many benefits e.g.
- Low cost both in expedinture and opportunity cost
- Ability to train just one person
- Helps with workload planning
- Focus training exactly where it is requred
As you can see, depending on your requirements, both types of course have their own specific benefits, if you would like to discus your requirements please contact us
