Before looking at the training process and possible providers, we should ask why training – what do we want to achieve?
If you are considering training for yourself, the answers may include:
- To improve my career prospects
- To understand my job better
- To have a deeper knowledge of my profession
- To keep my mind fresh with a new challenge
- To stay one step ahead of my peers.
If you are in a management role and considering sending people for training, or thinking about a new employee, the reasons may be:
- Enhanced knowledge of the job and the profession
- Increased ability to contribute
- Greater adaptability to new practices
- Clearer career path
- Better morale
- More job satisfaction.
Anything from a one-day course to a multi-year degree programme might meet these criteria – and there are plenty of choices in the marketplace. The decision will rest on a mix of considerations: the candidate's needs and availability, costs both in time and money, level of commitment to FM as a career. As always, starting out with a clear objective is the best way to ensure a successful outcome.
