Frequently asked
questions

What are the specific benefits of open training workshops vs in-company sessions?

There has always been a place for open courses for ambitious individuals and where businesses do not have the number of delegates to run a group session. Our Open programmes offer many opportunities for you to:

  • Meet and network with peers from other organisations
  • practice skills in a safe environment out of the workplace and away from colleagues
  • share knowledge with people from other companies
  • receive feedback from people of a similar seniority and experience level
  • gain valuable insights from different industry sectors.

After the training, how do you ensure I will retain and use my new knowledge?

Whether you chose our physical classroom or virtual classroom delivery, Huthwaite takes all participants on a learning journey; from understanding the skills at the start through to enabling you to do or think differently by the end. But it isn’t just about the amount of time spent on that journey that matters - it’s about the valuable experiences you have within each of the stages you go through. It’s broadly divided into three phases. As you progress through the journey you will acquire new skills, adopt new behaviours and have opportunities to improve your commercial performance in real world situations

Knowledge Acquisition
We start with Knowledge Acquisition, ensuring you achieve the context and underpinning knowledge required to practice and develop newly introduced concepts.

Skills and Practice
Here you begin to apply and practice skills and develop them, supported by a Huthwaite subject matter expert and facilitator. The time and safe practice spaces are built into the learning journey so you’ll feel confident and supported enough to explore and use your new knowledge.

Workplace Transfer
Ensures you continue applying the knowledge and skills acquired. This is where you’ll really begin to see your change in behaviour in real life situations.

Can I trial the training for my organisation on an Open programme?

Absolutely. Many of our clients who require a large, dedicated learning intervention involving many employees, will evaluate our methods via an Open Programme before proceeding. Many of our international clients have made our methods their de facto standard of operation and as such require newly appointed staff to attend the Open Programme as part of their induction. It makes for a vibrant mix of individuals and a deeply stimulating days of learning.

How do the skills I'll learn transfer to the workplace.
