IT and project management training helps individuals develop the skills they need to grow their careers and excel in their job roles. Similarly, investing in professional training can help ensure organisations have the knowledge and skill sets at their disposal to meet the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace. In some larger organisations particular certifications, such as PRINCE2 or APMP, are considered mandatory for employees leading or working in project teams.
Cost and location are often the biggest barriers where training is involved. It can be difficult to find the required course in a convenient area, especially when it comes to specialist courses such as cisco training, software testing or business analysis. This often means that the prospective delegate is left with no option but to travel further afield to attend the course, which will incur travel and possibly accommodation costs on top of initial course fee – which is not a preferable option for either those engaging self-funded study or corporate bookers.
The Focus approach aims to make specialist IT and project management training a convenient and cost-effective option for both businesses and individual wishing to enhance their skills to gain competitive advantage. Its extensive course schedule is at the heart of this approach and Focus works in partnership with specialist trainers to offer courses in destinations across the UK, from London to Aberdeen. This provision is further supplemented by its ability to run in-house courses at an organisation’s own premises where training for a group of delegates is required.
Offering a regular schedule covering more locations than any other provider means that Focus is uniquely positioned to offer the service benefits associated with booking training through a nationwide provider, combined with the convenience of a local presence. It makes Focus a strong choice for organisations with teams at multiple sites as well as those wanting to stretch their training budgets further by avoiding travel and accommodation expenses.
Over the past 12 months, Focus has continued to grow the range of courses available and it is now possible to book popular courses like MSP and APM at venues in Cambridge and Norwich. This expansion means that businesses in the east looking to reap the benefits of upskilling in the areas of project management and technical IT are no longer required to commute into London or Birmingham to attend professional short courses. As well as the obvious convenience benefits, this should also bring cost savings as with many courses being around five days in duration, previous accommodation costs or travel expenses would not have been insignificant.
