At Kaplan Hawksmere we partner with you to deliver effective in-house solutions. We work with over 1,000 trainers each year, matching the right one with your specific requirements. We work with you on our four phase approach:
Phase 1: Learning and development consultation
We work with you to understand your market, identify your organisation's key business objectives and define the required outcomes to help you achieve your business goals.
Phase 2: Build / tailor learning and development solution
Together we assess baseline knowledge and identify skills gaps utilising a range of skill assessment tools. Following this we will recommend the consultant with the most appropriate business background, skills and experience to ensure the most effective transfer of knowledge.
Phase 3: Implementation
All of our courses are designed for a highly targeted audience of business professionals. Between 40% and 90% of every course is interactive case study work where the participants practice their new skills. The format of the course (case studies, syndicate exercise groups, discussions and role plays), and how these elements are combined will also be a vital component in ensuring the course is stimulating throughout.
Phase 4: Knowledge transfer assurance (KTA)
Studies show that a large percentage of new skills are lost if they are not reinforced on the job. For business performance to improve, personnel must transfer their new skills to their jobs. We therefore complement our training programmes with on-site support services, including:
- mentoring and coaching to facilitate the implementation of training
- consulting in culture change management
- consulting in policy and procedure development
Our trainers and consultants
Our expert trainers are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, with extensive and high level experience spanning both private and public sectors. Our team of consultants can also offer advice and recommendations on your training, including training needs analysis, training development and training evaluation.
We have over 1000 trainers available from our wide ranging database, all experts in their particular fields, covering all regions UK and international.
Our approach to in-house learning and development
We offer you a fully managed training service from one-off training events to suites of multiple programmes. Our training consultants handle your requirements from start to finish, working with you to identify your key training objectives and listen to your business requirements. These are then matched to the trainer who best fits these requirements and your company culture.
