We often rely on technology to help deliver training courses via live remote training and distance learning or e-learning. However, there really is nothing like face-to-face training. In fact, what we have discovered over the years is that many people prefer a face-to-face classroom setting. Travelling to a training course may not be the easiest solution for those involved, but it often has the best outcome. And that’s not just in regard to what you learn on the course, but also the interaction and networking with others in the same industry.
When a location is close to home, it is beneficial for all involved from all perspectives so you can attend your project management training course close to home and in person. Let’s take a look at what face-to-face project management training in Derby – one of our most popular training locations – can offer. Or take a look in more detail at Derby and our upcoming training courses there.
What are the benefits of project management courses close to home?
In today’s busy and fast paced world, it can be hard to find the time to do everything that you need to in the time available. If the project management training course that you are looking at completing can be undertaken close to home, then it can offer you a number of benefits. These include:
Short journey
Creating the right work life balance can be tricky. If your training is closer to home then this can really help.
No overnight stays
Not having to stay overnight when you go on a training course means no packing and no time away from your family.
Easier to learn
Virtual learning has its place. However, learning face-to-face means that the person delivering the training is preent at the same time. This helps them to better detect when something they have explained hasn’t been understood by everyone.
You know the area
When the course is local you know exactly where it is so are less likely to get lost, this often means it is easier to get public transport for a shorter and more environmentally-friendly journey.
Better interaction
Face-to-face training allows for better interaction between trainer and course attendees and can also provide better networking opportunities.

At Parallel Project Training we understand just how important it is to have the right trainer. This means someone who has all of the relevant qualifications and also knows the area where the training will be taking place.
