How in-house training could benefit your company

CIBSE has seen a sharp increase in the uptake of its in-house corporate training courses in recent years. From 2017 to 2018, the demand for CIBSE in-house courses being run more than doubled, leading to the number of employees completing training soaring from just under 300 to almost 2,000.

The CIBSE Training Team has taken a look into why companies are choosing to train their staff in-house.

Expert external trainers
Experts in a particular subject are chosen by a trusted training provider to create and facilitate the in-house training. These trainers are selected for their wealth of knowledge and skills to conduct the training and tailor the course appropriately for the host company. This also means that all staff are trained on best practice principles for the given subject, which can be built into existing processes. The trainer will have experience of training other companies - often from within the same sector - which can feed into the training.


Time efficient – working with your schedule
In-house training allows employees to put their new found knowledge into practice immediately, minimising any work time lost. In-house training can even fit around the working schedule of staff.


New Content
With the rise of in-house training, trainers are constantly developing course content, ensuring examples are current and relevant, and therefore relying less on input from the company to tailor the training course.


Team-building exercise
In-house training also doubles as a team-building exercise, providing the company with an opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses to improve future work.



Fresh Suggestions
Investing in external training greatly benefits the company by having a fresh set of eyes in the business. The trainer might suggest ideas and techniques which push employees to think in new ways and tackle tasks differently.




By investing in employee’s progression companies can reap the rewards of having competent, fulfilled and motivated teams. Saving time and money is an added bonus to the up-to-date knowledge staff gain from the expert trainers.

CIBSE Training run over 60 training courses, all of which can be delivered directly to you. With a minimum of six attendees for any in-house training course, training multiple staff together is a cost effective way to develop your employees.

Face-to-face or remote training?

Image
With the return to the office and the ‘new normal’ of hybrid working, we have seen the reintroduction of face-to-face training. However remote courses, which enable people to be trained virtually have remained popular, with people expecting both types of training to be available. For corporate training there is no extra travelling required by employees, for either face-to-face or remote training. You can choose your own date and time, and the content can be delivered in either format. So, what are the differences between the two learning options? Preference. The main criterium for choosing face-to-face or remote training is based on people’s concentration level, preferred style of interaction, the learning environment and their digital knowledge, or simply, some people just prefer one learning format to another. Focus. People’s attention span varies. Some people concentrate better when they have someone speaking physically in front of them, whilst others find it easier to follow if t
