Hi all,

We have just launched a (we think) unique service for training managers and HR professionals.

After doing a number of interim management and consulting assignments and several years doing classroom training, several major business critical things struck me
  • The lack of well trained staff, Single points of failure for many key tasks.
  • The lack of monitoring the effectiveness of training undertaken – the “happy sheet” is about as scientific as it gets…
  • The difficulty in scheduling classroom training – staff increasingly work flexible and non standard hours
  • People are often all “sprayed the same colour” when it comes to training – and all sent regardless whether the training is appropriate.
  • It is very difficult and time consuming to gather data in respect to underperforming staff.
So, we have put our IT heads on and come up with a solution which answers all of these problems.

The Sharp End Training coursebase "OCTA" (online candidate training & assessment) is an online resource which features
A number of the most frequently repeated courses and a customer driven “roadmap” of future developments.
A training “sandwich” featuring
    • A short online test – to see if training is actually required. The results are recorded.
    • A number of training activities and learning exercises. The results are NOT recorded.
    • A short test to measure the training effect. The results are recorded.
All courses are available online, without restriction anywhere a web connection is possible.
Each client/customer organisation has their own private password controlled section of the website.
Supervisor has access to test results almost instantly.
A flat subscription access fee payable with no surprises payable monthly for either 6 or 12 months. (refers to Sharp End Training developed generic material-extra charge will apply for bespoke or customised development work).

By careful planning of coursebase use, the busy manager will be able to
  • Maintain scientific knowledge of staff progress and development
  • Send only the people who need to go on training
  • Gather information much quicker on people who perform poorly no matter how much training they receive
  • Stop having to repeat training – because it is online and reusable
  • Control precious budgets better
