Crown Agents training can assist clients in embedding best practice development approaches and solutions through a number of advisory/consultancy services:
Training needs analysis
To help clients gain better value for money from their training budgets, we help analyse where training is needed and what it should cover. This is driven by organisational goals and strategies and takes into account current and future needs. We use findings from a wide range of sources including interviews, questionnaires, job descriptions and performance management data to develop objective-focused and results-driven training and development plans.
Training & development strategies
We help clients to design and develop effective training and development strategies that have a direct and positive impact on organisational goals. Strategies are created following discussions with the appropriate stakeholders to gain commitment and ensure that the investment in learning delivers the desired outcomes. The framework is applied to staff at all levels to enhance overall organisational productivity, encourage individual development and tackle specific issues such as technical and leadership gaps, staff retention and change management.
Assessment & development of trainers
A motivated and competent trainer can make the difference between the success and failure of an organisation. We carry out trainer assessments to identify their strengths and areas for further development. This is typically followed by 'training of trainers' in areas ranging from designing a course to delivery, facilitation and problem-solving.
Using the latest methodologies and techniques, we ensure that trainers are able to translate and transfer their professional knowledge and experience into learnable outcomes for the workplace.
Coaching & mentoring
Effective coaching and mentoring helps an organisation to meets its goals and objectives through intensive, personal and sustained support for individuals.
Our coaching and mentoring service is tailored to each client's knowledge, experience and ambition. Classically, the programme focuses on achieving a number of agreed objectives for both the individual and the organisation over a period of a few months.
Blended learning
We often find that blending different methods and media to training leads to better learning outcomes. In light of this we offer flexible and engaging learning solutions incorporating:
- classroom-based learning
- e-learning
- self study
- video conference training linking training centres in the UK, US and other locations globally with facilitation through local experts
Setting up training institutions
If you are looking to develop your own training college or institute, we would be happy to share our experience and knowledge with you to help you and your team plan and implement at a strategic or operational level. Our programme of advice and support draws on our extensive experience of helping our clients to build successful management and technical institutes all over the world.
