Although some courses are off the shelf, most are customised to organisations. Trainers – chosen from Cambridge Network’s pool of recommended tutors – work closely with companies to ensure they deliver material to precisely meet a company’s specific training needs, addressing any issues they wish to tackle.
Face to face training has now resumed, but virtual sessions, the norm during the lockdowns, have also continued and created new opportunities.
Operations manager Sara Baxter explains: "Where once we had to send our trainers to Europe or the US, or to bring delegates in from abroad, we have been very successful in offering the same quality of training remotely, with obvious savings in travel and expenses.
“Recently we have arranged training for groups of people from single companies based in different locations, with some delegates in Cambridge and others in Scandinavia or California, for instance.
“This has the added advantage of enabling our members in multinational technology companies to assemble their global teams to learn together. Depending on the topic, it means that one trainer can deliver two or more sessions in one day from a local base."
