Tinson Training is proud to have worked with Invertek Drives Ltd in Welshpool delivering training to 68 members of their staff between October 2023 and September 2024. The majority of the staff attending were well qualified in Electrical/Electronic Engineering but the One Day Electrical Safety Awareness course was part of a plan to ensure that the staff were fully aware of electrical dangers and…
Throughout 2024 Tinson Training has continued to deliver training courses to a diverse range of customers. It is unfortunate that we are no longer able to deliver courses in Scotland or the NE of England as we do not have trainers in those areas.
As we continue to deliver our courses to a wide range of clients we are always excited to provide training courses that meet our customers needs and provide real benefits for them. Our trainers enjoy training others and with that we can ensure that our customers training and development requirements are met.
The other day a business contact of mine said “ Don’t you get bored training folk in the same stuff time after time?”. He might as well have asked whether a stage actor gets bored doing the same role night after night on a long run. Every day it is a new audience. In our case it is usually also in a new location and business context. For me, as for any committed educator, it is that moment…
How do we tell if we are doing as great a training job for our clients as we think we are? After all, It is not unknown for self-delusion and complacency to set in as one races from one job to the next. The results can destroy a reputation and the business with it. Perhaps the most obvious way of keeping a grip on reality is to insist on feedback in both the immediate context of a course and in...
I was asked the question the other day “ What do we get when we hire Tinson Training?”. It is the sort of question that makes you stop and think. It is probably something that we should all do a bit more often, whatever product or service we sell. My first thought, predictably, is the knowledge, expertise, and experience we bring to each task and our enthusiasm for transferring knowledge. We…
If we have learned one thing at Tinson Training over the last eighteen months or so it is how to make good use of video communication technology. So have millions of others, stoking the exponential growth of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and a host of other tech options bobbing in their wake. It all seems so much like a brave new world of training and learning in place – but is it? One may be…
We have made much over the years of the bespoke nature of Tinson Training courses and the fact that they are delivered on the client’s premises. This is all well and good but it does also mean that we must be capable of responding with authority to a wide variety of scenarios. Two recent inquiries reminded me that much of our success is built on this ability. Perhaps we could call it informed…
Sometimes I am asked the question – Why does Tinson Training train on-site? My usual response is that training staff in their normal work surroundings makes what is learned immediately more relevant to their day-to-day work and almost always raises the level of engagement with the course content. Another reason why we train on-site is the opportunity for unexpected bonuses. On a recent…
A lot has changed in the last eighteen months. It has made my colleagues and I at Tinson Training think long and hard about what we should change and what stays the same. The biggest single change has been the explosion in video communication by whatever means – Zoom, Teams, FaceTime and others too numerous to mention. While Tinson Training is steadily returning to the bespoke onsite…
