Why train the trainer is a cost-effective solution

As organisations invest in employee development, the decision to choose between hiring an external trainer or utilising a train-the-trainer model becomes apparent. Cost is often a factor when it comes to deciding.

In this blog, we will explore the benefits of the train-the-trainer model and how it outshines the alternative.

Reduce training-associated costs

Investing in yourself and your team is another benefit of the train-the-trainer model, as it's extremely cost-effective. Rather than relying on outsourced training, which comes with its share of costs, such as time spent on the road, and continuing to pay your staff their hourly rate, whether they're working or travelling an hour away for training, you can train your in-house team to train staff members effectively.

With this model, our course-targeted train-the-trainer sessions come with 20 free licences. This means 20 of your staff members can access related course material and receive certification upon completion of their final assessment. This isn’t something we charge extra for; in many cases, the cost of this training material alone exemplifies the value of our model.

We also have a complete suite of software that will help you manage your training and increase the efficiency of your operations. The ComplyPlus Compliance Software will assist you in auditing and storing all your training and compliance documents in one place; it has an accredited learning management system and document repository for all your policies and procedures giving you the necessary tools for compliance.

Avoid workplace downtime

Through a training needs analysis, you can identify an issue that the workforce needs training on. If a significant problem could impede productivity, it is not advisable to delay and wait for staff training. In some cases where the business is not considered safe to run, then there are implications, such as possibly shutting down until the workforce is trained, which would be very costly.

Having an internal trainer means your staff has their own personal trainer who can hold sessions in the workplace. By tailoring training around existing staff rotas, any potential business disruption is avoided, and where it's impossible to avoid entirely, it's minimised.

Conclusion

The train-the-trainer model elevates individual skills and enhances team dynamics and employee well-being. By cultivating a culture of support and mutual learning, organisations can experience improved communication, collaboration, and overall job satisfaction among their workforce.

Train the trainer goes beyond a monetary value; this is an investment in your team, ensuring they’re the most skilled, effective, and productive as a result. Your in-house team will be able to teach and guide your workforce on your time and be relevant, which isn’t always the case with outsourced training. Investing in a train-the-trainer approach is a strategic decision that yields abundant benefits for the entire company, making it a valuable and rewarding investment.
