One Day Training  ... in a nutshell

We're small but neatly formed!  By being flexible and adaptable we can meet your training and development needs.

What we do...

We know that you can read all about a new skill or watch someone doing it on the net, but you may never get the hang of it unless you practice yourself. Think about when you learned to ride your bike – you may have watched someone else, but until you do it yourself there is no learning taking place.


We believe that managers and staff need a place to learn, then practice the skills. One Day Training is all about transforming knowledge into on-the- job competence. We offer full day training and half day training. We can train your staff at your office or arrange a venue close to your workplace.


Elearning (learning on demand) customised to your business can be created and accessed by your staff members.

 


Understanding the business needs is a key driver in training development

Thinking back, I ran my first training session in 1979 – I’ve been around awhile! In those days it was all about teaching people how to use computer software. Back when we had dedicated machines for accounting and word processing. I enjoy training people in what is misnamed as "soft skills".  I have a range of training courses under my belt, my favourites being presentation skills and project management – courses where you can see the learner’s light bulb moment.


Being in the training business means I get to live my passion, I love learning and have undertaken a few challenges:
