  Organisations generally do their best to recognise the training needs for their people regardless of their individual levels of competence. As a result, some people have not fully benefited from training opportunities and in today’s environment of measuring the return on investment on spend learning and development needs to ensure it meets the needs of the business as well of the people. General Physics (UK) Ltd can undertake a task or needs analysis at a number of levels within your organisation and report on any gaps, needs and even regulatory requirements for the people within your organisation. Ensuring that learning and development returns a more effective service for your people at the most cost effective spend.

We provide a full and rigorous analysis to minimise the training intervention costs. We are successful in developing effective instructor-led, e-Learning, coaching and mentoring programmes and blended learning programmes. We are unmatched in our combination of development experience, flexibility and capability.
   
• Evaluation
  
  We encourage our clients to evaluate the impact of their learning and development on their business, as well as to monitor and improve the quality of the learning they provide. Our recognised evaluation approach is effective and quick to deploy, or if required we can design a tailored evaluation to meet your needs.

  We use various methods to evaluate Kirkpatrick’s Learning Evaluation Modal is an example:

  • Level 1 – Evaluate Reaction

  • Level 3 – Evaluate Behaviour
  • Level 4 - Evaluate Results
  • Level 5 – Recently “added” for Return on Investment but this wasn’t part of Kirkpatrick’s original model

• Design and Development
  
  We understand there is much to be considered when outsourcing your training development programs. How the courses are presented and received by your employees being one of them. We offer both virtual and face to face demos, to answer international requirements and customisation. Our virtual instructor-led training demos are the closest you can get to our traditional classroom and allows you to see a short list of vendors/trainers for selection prior to the pilot. The pilot is run as a face to face with your target audience, your end users. This way, we capture feedback inline with your organisations culture and methods of learning.
   
• Train the Trainer
  
  The trainers train the staff. But who trains the trainers? With fully trained experts on our team, we can support and help the development of all the instructors working within your business.
   
• Roll Out
  
  Here at GP we don’t blanket schedule courses, we analysis the target audience and suggest schedules to our customer for approval based on the demand, where required and more and more this is on a global basis. We use vendors that wherever possible have a presence in the countries that your organisation is located; they typically speak the countries language, are culturally aware, subject matter experts and understand the business and cultural needs of that country. Through data management we are able to schedule based on head count, new hires and new management positions. We can target market the courses with email campaigns, website up dates and internal promotions to ensure maximum capacity on the courses which increases development capacity and reduces your cost per delegate ratios.
   
• Converting instructor led training to virtual
  
  Virtual instructor-led training (VILT) blends the qualities of instructor-led classroom training with the convenience of a virtual online classroom. Expert-led training over your intranet or the internet where required can achieve the same level of knowledge transfer and interactivity as traditional instructor-led training while offering additional advantages learners can not get with any other training.

  • Reaches geographically located employees within your company, across time zones
  • A real-time interaction with the instructor and other delegates from their home or office

• Employee Orientation
  
  We all recognise that effectively orienting new employees into their positions is important in establishing successful, productive working relationships.
