Sounds like a childrens "What I did in the holidays" title doesn't it? But actually it is quite important.
While many of our customers in land based industries are at their busiest time of year we at CA Training are as well but in a different way.
August is a time when we must plan for winter training programmes. We have to anticipate 6 months in advance what will be new requirements, what new courses are being offered to us and who will benefit from them. Part of the problem is that our customers are busy with their core business and don't want us interupting that. The weather is enough of a nuisance without us compounding the problem!
So what will be new and what will we repeat this season? The standards are still there: Emergency Aid, Fire Risk Assessments, Brushcutters, Abrasive Wheels, Forklifts, Tesecopic Handlers, Pesticide updates, PA1,2, 4, 6, 11 et al preparation, H&S at various levels, Food Hygiene and the rest.
New for this coming year? Well we have access to a mobile IT training suite - one of the topics we are including electronic time management, e-mails how to be in control. Traditional courses have had an overhaul with new materials for Forklift and Manual Handling.
We are also asking the question: What do YOU want from training? Competence or Certificate, they are not always the same thing and we would like to hear your views.
