Training Approach
Training Strategy
Using Technology Better begins all training engagements by asking the client to complete a training needs questionnaire.
This provides us with information about their organisation, technical environment, users and training requirements. As part of this process we also provide the client with general advice around effective training programs.
The information in the training needs questionnaire is used to draft and quote on a customised training program, which is then reviewed and approved by the client.
Training Sessions
Using Technology Better’s training sessions include a mixture of facilitator demonstration and hands-on participant activities.
In our experience, it is most effective when participants attend the session with a device and undertake the training from within their own accounts.
This allows participants to use the training time to configure and setup their own accounts, eliminating the need for this to be fitted into daily work activities after the training.
