Here our senior training consultant Carmen Campos looks at some of the benefits of face-to-face training courses, especially when delivered close to home.
There is no denying the distinct benefits of project management training courses and qualifications. They enable project managers to deliver projects more successfully and open up more career opportunities. But when it comes to how the training course is delivered there are advantages and disadvantages that need to be weighed up. Let’s take a look at just some of the benefits of face-to-face training in Cambridge for those who live in the city or in the surrounding county of Cambridgeshire.
Benefits of face-to-face training
If your course is essential for your career progression, or indeed just to help you hone the skills that you already have, then it’s a given that you will undertake the training, regardless of the location. However, when you can complete the course closer to home there are a number of benefits:
- Short journey – Time is precious and if you don’t have to travel a long distance why would you?
- No overnight stays – This means that you don’t have the inconvenience of being away from your family overnight.
- Easier to learn – Whilst many people find virtual learning environments to be a handy way of learning, there are still a great number who prefer the more “personal” in-person approach. It isn’t just easier for the person undertaking the course but also for the trainer as they can “read the room” and ensure that everyone has understood what they have been teaching.
- You know the area – to put it simply, if the course is local to you, then you know the area which can make how you get there easier as well. For example, you are more likely to know where to park or be familiar with public transport links. This makes it quicker to get to the correct location on time.
- Better interaction – Face-to-face training not only allows for better interaction with your trainer but also with the other members of your course. This can often prove invaluable in terms of discussing shared experiences and networking opportunities.
