Step 2: Select three vendors that offer the type of training you wish:
The benefits you receive from your investment in on-site training begins with the proper selection of the company which will deliver the program. The quality of the information you receive in the seminar will only be as valuable as the level of resources the training company has invested in the seminar development. Just because a training organization is big, has lots of sales people, and has a very glossy presentation, does not ensure quality of materials presented. In many cases, it is just the opposite.
There are several factors you can use to identify a seminar company that uses a documented, structured Program Development Process (PDP). Just because the organization has hundreds of titles from which you can choose, does not ensure that the materials your employees receive in their on-site educational experience will provide the skills and competencies for which you are paying. Here are several factors to consider when evaluating a prospective training provider:
Today's business professional demands development programs of the utmost quality. Not only in the participant materials, but also in the program leader's ability to relate the concepts and theories covered in the materials to real life, day-to-day application in their profession. The seminar provider's professional staff should represent the leaders in professional development. Every program leader should have over 10 years of "hands-on" experience in the subject matter being presented, and has led professional development programs for over 5 years.
Large training and membership-based management associations are saddled with large buckets of overhead costs, which drains valuable resources and seminar fees away from development investments. As a result, and in order to meet their bonus "bogies", they focus on keeping expense low. This means that you get an instructor that may not be leading edge -- just inexpensive. Other vendors may charge you for printing, shipping, training assessment meetings, etc. May organizations may have you print your own materials. Select vendors that include all the services and support you're looking for with an all-inclusive price.
