Why choose in-house delivery from Advance HE?
Choosing the most appropriate development programme can be challenging. Developing content which tackles current issues and addresses your challenges, identifying the target audience in your institution who would most benefit from the programme and ensuring delivery fits with your context are paramount to ensuring your programme is a success.
One of your first decisions will be whether to organise the training in-house, or send employees to an external training course. An external training course has many benefits and is a popular choice, but in-house training also has plenty of appeal.
Having the best of both can be achieved if you organise your training to be conducted by Advance HE in-house. In-house delivery offers a number of strategic and practical benefits:
Strategic benefits
- A programme designed to be linked directly to your strategy
- A programme developed around your requirements
- A design fit for your participants
- The confidentially that comes with private delivery
- A cohort of your people working together, team building
Practical benefits
- Cost effective implementation
- The convenience of delivery at a location of your choice
- Flexibility in design, development and delivery
- Delivery that can be designed for a particular community or mixed groups (Academic and Professional Services)
