The Value of External Training

What value is there in arranging external training? Ron Cartey, founder of Bangkok based Advance Training Group explains the benefits of using external consultants to balance the training department of both large corporations and SME’s.

Ron explains, “Training and consulting are generally for businesses who want to maintain their standards, improve their employee’s skills and ultimately, increase the performance and results of the company and business. Business experts are unanimous in their thoughts that having a balanced and structured training programme taking in both internal and external resources is essential.”

“Many businesses have established an in house training programme or have appointed a training manager which eliminates the possibility of using the professional, balanced and experience of an external training consultant.”, Ron added.

Research shows that companies with the largest commitment to external training are also those which have the largest and more sophisticated internal training departments.

Ron continues, “In my many years business experience, I constantly see that no matter how professional and proficient internal staff are after a period they can become stale. Its human nature as the same material presented in the same way loses its initial impact and the underlying factor is that training must be motivational as well as informative.”

So, how do we motivate and inform at the same time? Well, it is well known and accepted that internal training by company staff is regarded by trainees as company duty. It is generally something that has to be followed.

Ron goes on, “Being selected to attend a programme conducted by an external resource is regarded as a demonstration of high regard by the company. This motivational effect alone often provides the catalyst for improved performance.”

“External training is cost effective because companies only pay for a training resource when they actually need it whereas, the cost of running even a small training department can be expensive.” Added Ron.

“At Advanced Training Group (AT Group), we as a professional organisation employe employs experts in different disciplines who are constantly kept up to date and have a continual source of new ideas and techniques through the variety of Consultancy assignments they conduct.”

Ron concluded, “In addition, we as external consultants can train at all levels within an organisation whereas an internal trainer will have difficulty training above his previous successful position or his superiors.”

Wise words indeed, and in the current business climate, it may just be that extra edge that your business, company and employees need to make that leap and get the wheels of business in motion again.
