Our unique three-step approach is the flexible blend of the above e-learning, CD-Rom or DVD learning with our dynamic classroom techniques and practical workplace activities. Our blended process is flexible and its components can be used in a variety of combinations.
This training blend can be scheduled and automated by our easy-to-use piece of software, The Balance Portal, which has an optional 360° feedback module. Alternatively, online components can be used within a SCORM compliant LMS.
During the Action activities, the emphasis is very much on helping the participant use opportunities within their normal working environment to implement their new knowledge and or skills. They will be building confidence outside the protected environment of the classroom sessions.
Participants are assigned Action Dimension™ Activities at regular intervals via email. This is the trainer’s opportunity to support the participants as they take the knowledge and skills they’ve learned and apply them to real workplace situations.
The Balance Learning Team has won many awards for training programmes including the prestigious 2005 Brandon Hall Gold Award for Custom Content for '
