Using Virtual Coach you will find that your training will invariably cost less. Here's why:

• Virtual Coach is a computer based training tool. This means lower hourly costs…the trainer does not need to be there all the time.
  • Once a computer has been purchased there are few additional charges. The per person costs for Virtual Coach are less than $13 per year i.e. NZD$65 for five years! There are no per module charges.
• Virtual Coach Developer (what you develop the training in) has a once only five year licence fee of less than NZD$550. There is no fee per module…you can produce (and/or sell) unlimited modules. This means there is no disincentive to develop more training.
  • With Virtual Coach you make a once only investment of your own time to develop the modules. Once developed there are very few other costs... no catering, no venue costs, no travel and accommodation, and very low trainer costs.

Module development is flexible and cost effective. Here's how you can minimise costs of module development:

• Develop the modules yourself; this is the recommended approach - simplicity has been designed into Virtual Coach.
• Develop modules in your off-season. Use supervisors and even senior operators to develop modules during their quiet work periods. It could be something that would be great for the grave-yard shift to do?
• Partner with suppliers of equipment you use in your organisation. The supplier may be prepared to develop the training to ensure their equipment is correctly used, maintained etc. The pricing of Virtual Coach makes this highly affordable for the supplier... it would reduce their servicing costs also!
• As a guide we have found it takes approximate 6-11 hours to develop a well structured module. This includes the time from planning to the finished edited module ready to be used by trainees. +Remember - with Virtual Coach you avoid the need to pay outside production companies to develop training or visual materials - you have the power to do this when, where and how you think suits your workplace best.

The Training Assistant is designed to be better, quicker and easier than using a spreadsheet to capture your training records.

• The Training Assistant costs less than NZD$250 for a one-off five year licence!
• The Training Assistant enables you to capture just the vital training results and staff information. No gimmicks, no elaborate forms, planning tools, reporting tools... just a very easy training administration tool.
• You can export information out of the Training Assistant into a format friendly for a spreadsheet application. Just in case you want to analyse the data in a different way.
• How much valuable time is spent on you existing training administration package... The Training Assistant is designed to enable trainers and coaches to get out of the office and do what they love... train and coach!
