either select a 'standard' training course
Many of the popular public courses offered by the WRC can also be run for you in-house. By way of an indication, current open courses are listed here.
Commissioning 'standard' courses to be run in-house can be cost-effective versus sending several people to a public course or conference, particularly when convenience and other costs are factored in. Nonetheless, the extent of the learning transferred back to the workplace inevitably cannot match a program which has been customised for your specific organisation.
or choose a Customised training option
Take advantage of our extensive experience scoping a program tailored to your actual operating environment. Should you wish, real case studies, your policies or other elements specific to your organisation can be designed into a program, to ensure it is as relevant and applied as possible.
Flexible program design
For specialised development needs, select a single topic to be run for you over one or more days. Content may extend from briefing sessions for large groups of employees - for example to meet organisational compliance requirements - through to high-level development programs for smaller groups. Alternatively, you may require a generalist course incorporating multiple subject areas; you can then decide whether all sessions should be attended by the entire cohort, or by selected staff.
Mode of delivery
The Workplace Research Centre will be delighted to schedule program delivery around your real operational requirements. You may want our experienced facilitators to deliver the entire program in one block. Alternatively it can be phased across several dates, on a modular basis. We pride ourselves on the provision of interactive, applied learning and skills development programs, leading to greater transferability back into your workplace.
