GBS Corporate Training has extensive experience in the design and delivery of all types of leadership, management and people development training and our pragmatic approach underpins every solution that we offer.
Learning research theory demonstrates that adults predominantly learn by practice and, notwithstanding that there are four predominant learning styles, training is most effective when the ratio of practical exercises to theory is higher. Our trainers are our 'shop window' and so we take great care in their selection both in terms of their subject matter expertise, their delivery style and also their personality and ability to build rapport. We select trainers who are more facilitative, can engage the group with solid anecdotes based upon business experience, and who advocate a more practical approach to their delivery. As an awarding body for the Certificate in Training Practice we measure our trainers against the standards required by it.
Hence, our course designs use solid, well established models and exercises, together with our own unique approach, the GBS Learning Accelerator and we apply these in a very pragmatic way…’tell me what I need to do but more importantly show me how to do it’ .
