A vital ingredient that The Training Market has added; is the ability for companies to cost effectively develop their own training in-house. Recent innovations in technology have made the development of computer based training significantly easier than it has been in the past. The Virtual Coach draws this technology together in a package you can easily use and afford.

Rather than have several providers all competing for the same courses across the country, The Training Market wants to encourage niche providers to produce niche courses (or modules) for industry.

• This way industry will have access to a wide range of modules that it can select from, to meet its needs. These modules may be developed by training providers, suppliers to industry or even other companies.

Supplier Partnership Program

• The Training Market's Supplier Partnership Program is designed for organisations who supply plant, equipment and tools for industry. The Supplier Partnership Program provides a way for suppliers to develop effective training materials for their clients and customers.
• Commissioning of new plant often requires extensive input from the supplier and installer of the equipment. Virtual Coach can assist.
• Virtual Coach provides the benefits of an onsite coach without the expense and hassles. As an equipment supplier, you can use your technical specialists and skilled industry people to develop Virtual Coach modules for the use of your equipment.
• This means that the skills, experience and value provided by your top people becomes available 24/7 to your clients. You can build structure into the Virtual Coach modules ensuring that everything is covered, including the health and safety aspects which could be disastrous if overlooked.

A company can use Virtual Coach to up-skill their international network of dealers and agents.

• They see the benefits of Virtual Coach as being:
  • The ease at which they can quickly and effectively develop product overviews and guidelines for their use.
  • They can develop the materials in-house without the delays common with external production houses.
  • The ease at which they can distribute the materials.
  • Provide formal training that enables records of training to be captured.
  • The ability to easily add voice-overs to the modules in different languages without redeveloping all the content.

Virtual Coach is an ideal training tool for multi-language workplaces.

• Providing training especially safety and health training in a person’s own (first) language on Virtual Coach has several advantages:
  • The person is more likely to fully understand what is being covered.
  • The person cannot attribute cause of a subsequent accident to \"not understanding the training\".
  • The fact that Virtual Coach captures formal evidence of a person's understanding means that both they and the company can be sure that the key points have been learnt.
  • People generally find that training delivered in their own (first) language is significantly less stressful and tiring. They enjoy the learning and are energised by the fact that management have considered them and their needs when putting the training together.
• The fact that Virtual Coach is highly visual means that trainees as well as hearing what to do, can also `see' what to do. This is often not the case with other computer based training or self-paced learning tools.

How much do companies in your industry spend on travel, accommodation, meals and venue hire for training?

• Imagine if this money could be reinvested into up-skilling the industry with more skills and qualifications.
• Then we took the best of Computer Based Training software. You can include assessment questions and track student/trainee progress.
• Virtual Coach provides a low cost content development and delivery process.
• Companies can invest the money saved through using Virtual Coach into workplace assessment activities, thus enabling people to achieve their qualifications.

Virtual Coach is perfect for both pre-employment skills training and induction of new trainees. It helps ensure trainees have grasped the health and safety aspects of a new work environment or industry.

• The Virtual Coach Developer enables providers to \"Develop Once - Train Often\" thus reducing the upfront hours and tutor costs. Tutors can develop the materials themselves - minimal computing knowledge is required.
