Why use JMD Training and Consultancy?

There are many training agencies, so why should you consider us?

• We do not believe that ‘one size fits all’ but tailor the training to the needs of the individual or organisation
• You will never be put in a class with learners from another organisation who have completely different requirements than yourself
• We do not have our own training rooms, so our overheads are low, which means that charges are also lower – we generally train within the offices of the organisation whose staff we are training, though can hire out a room if you prefer off-site training
• We have had many years of providing consultancy as well as training, which means we are used to working in ‘real-life situations’, not just in a controlled learning environment
• We recognise that different people have different learning styles and adapt our training accordingly
• Training can be delivered in one hour, two hour, half day or full day slots, to suit your learning style and time constraints.

Using a training room within your organisation, and your PCs, charges per day for IT Training would be:

1 to 1 training	£275
2 to 4 delegates	£375
5 to 8 delegates	£450

According to Martin Harvey of the e-skills UK sector development agency, “There are 21 million people in work who use IT … 37 per cent of the 21 million have never had IT training; more than half of them learn by osmosis, talking and working with each other, or very often you have a super-user who acts as a resource for colleagues. The problem is, if I’m using MS Word, for example, I’m probably only using 30 per cent of its functionality. I could save up to 35 minutes a day if I had proper IT skills.” (Source: Training Journal, April 2007)
Our experience at JMD Training and Consultancy backs this up. So many times we go and train within an organisation to hear:

• “Wow, I never knew you could do that – that will make my life so much easier” or
• “If only I’d known that last week when I had to get that report out”.

JMD Training and Consultancy have many years experience of going into the workplace and training people in their own environment, very often using their own working files and application. This makes the training directly applicable and enhances the learning experience. We also advise on how to use applications to better suit the needs of an organisation.

The benefits to the organisation include:

• Staff who understand what they are doing, and why
• Staff who no longer see IT as a barrier
• A more productive workforce
• Less pressure for all
• Less absenteeism
• Confident staff, at ease with their equipment, and therefore with clients

We provide computer training in Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, Hounslow, Brentford, Putney, to London and the M25 corridor.
