Training needs assessment
Defining and planning business oriented technology training programs.
To ensure there is an appropriate return on any investment in training, it is important that the content matches the needs of those attending. Identifying these needs in relation to equipment, processes and wider business objectives is an essential step in the development of an effective training programme. Conducting a training needs assessment will gather all of the relevant information to allow the process to proceed.
The assessment process This consultancy service investigates and reports in 3 key areas. Technology: Question papers relating to the individual subjects being assessed are used. These papers provide feedback on the levels of knowledge in 3 areas, Fundamental principles Components and symbols Drawings and documentation Selected individuals are also questioned about equipment and technologies used in the production environment.
Production process: A guided tour of the production line(s) is undertaken to gather information about the processes, equipment and technologies in use. This detail is vital to identify the current knowledge gaps and establish the level and scope of any training plan. Applications identified from the plant can also be used in any subsequent training.
Booking: call 01604 667584 or www.festo-didactic.co.uk
Business: A discussion with the department manager is arranged to establish the training needs from a business perspective. Are there specific targets that are being sought, which KPIs are to be measured, are there defined standards to be achieved? Any training plan should reflect and complement these business needs and ensure that any training carried out is working towards achieving the stated business goals. Target Group Those who will be included in any training program. Department / Engineering manager.
Outcomes On completion of the investigation of training needs, a report is compiled and reviewed with the customer. The content includes: Detailed information on the current level of knowledge of those assessed, in relation to the selected technology and subject areas. An overview of the related equipment and technologies found in the production environment. An analysis of the difference in current knowledge and technologies/equipment in use. An outline of the potential impact on defined business objectives and KPIs. Recommended actions that would enable the client to enhance the key business objectives identified. This document may then be used to plan an integrated development program that will have a direct impact on business results.
Duration This service is offered on the basis of a daily fee for time spent on the clients site. However, the fee covers not only the on-site time but also all travel costs and related offsite consultancy to collate findings and prepare the report. The number of days required will depend upon the size and complexity of the environment, and the number of personnel to be individually assessed. Reports are normally collated and delivered to the client within 10 working days of the final on-site visit.

Post Course Clinics
Maximising return on investment in technology based training programs.
What is the first thing that people do when they leave a training course? They start to forget what they have learned. Even the very best training can be rendered worthless if the information put across during the course is not retained. Research suggests that as much as 50% of the acquired knowledge can be lost within a few weeks of the training event if there is no opportunity to use it. In order to get the best value from any investment in training, it is important that the skills and knowledge learned during the training are applied and practiced in the workplace as soon and as often as possible. The Post Course Clinic is designed to assist in the transfer of skills and knowledge into practice.
Clinic Structure The clinic takes place at the clients site. It is important to be as close as possible to the working environment for which the training had been planned. Clinics follow a structured approach to maximise the value of the process for both employee and employer. Initial Consultation: A meeting with the person who organised the original training provides initial feedback on the course and attendees. It provides an opportunity to discuss reactions and feedback from the course participants.
Certificate Presentations: City & Guilds or other certificates are presented as appropriate. It is often forgotten that it is not only the employer who makes an investment in training. The attendees invest their own effort and time. Recognition of such effort can help enhance the learning process for the individual resulting in greater commitment and motivation to fully utilise the training experience. Open Surgery: Course participants are able to visit the specialist trainer to discuss any issues or difficulties that may have arisen when transferring the training to their own working environment. Using material from the training the trainer provides specialist coaching advice to assist understanding in relation to the clients own applications.
10
House Calls: The specialist trainer is available to visit course attendees in their workplace. This enables the trainees to discuss and show specific applications or situations that continue to provide a challenge. This on the job coaching provides a rich source of learning as it focuses on individual needs in the real world Health Check (optional): During the contact with course participants, the trainer will introduce questions which form part of a structured survey. This will allow the opinions of the training personnel, coaching support and related operational challenges to be collated in order to assist the client in determining the direction of ongoing development programs in alignment with business objectives. Follow up consultation: A closing meeting with the responsible manager will confirm support provided, discuss feedback received on the day, pass on any observations and make recommendations, where appropriate, on how the development process may be continued.
Target Group Generally, the clinic format is most effective in situations where 4 or more people from the client have attended the same training. Tailored coaching services are available for smaller groups or individuals. Timescale For a clinic to deliver full value it is very important that it is carried out within 5 weeks of attending the related training course. Duration Clinics are offered in either full or half day format, depending upon the number of individuals to be supported and the needs of the client. A program of linked clinics can also be arranged to provide longer term coaching support if so required.
Outcomes Clinics will: Provide feedback to the client on the effectiveness of training Assist in the implementation of training processes and procedures Build awareness of individual attendees skills and knowledge Identify and help address personal support required to transfer training into practice Accelerate and increase the transfer of acquired knowledge and skills in to practice Guide the client on how best to continue development programs in support of business goals

Selling in the manufacturing and engineering industries has never been tougher than today. Sales organisations are constantly demanding more from their sales teams who are often competing against multiple suppliers, sales channels and low cost imports. At the same time customers are seeking to drive down prices whilst demanding innovation and increased support in order to compete in the global market. Increasingly equipped with products and prices that are similar to the competition, the skills of discovering customers real needs and presenting benefits in the form of products or services are becoming even more important to sales people and sales organisation.

Coaching Skills
Embedded Coach
EC111
Todays organisations operate in environments of continuous change. Changes in company strategy, the introduction of new products and increasing demands from customers all serve to challenge the knowledge and skills of the engineer. Effective communications and training are a pre-requisite for any company who wishes their teams to adapt & deliver excellent results, but this is not enough. The modern manager must consider how they will assist their people to apply newly acquired knowledge and skills quickly into their own environment and with their own personality. By using consultative coaching skills in a structured process the manager can help the individual understand and apply knowledge and skills more quickly and more effectively. This constructive and progressive approach, if embedded into the culture of the company or team, will improve results, increase customer satisfaction levels and enhance staff motivation.
Workshop summary
This course defines coaching and its particular necessity to service providers. The course is highly participative and includes presentations, reading exercises, partner activities, discussion sessions, practical exercises, video extracts, reference material, workbooks and finally a personal action diary which will help assist the individual to ensure that the acquired knowledge and skills needed to coach personnel effectively, become embedded in their working environment. Experienced or newly appointed managers and team leaders responsible for managing teams of people or individuals working in these very demanding business functions. Managers who undertake this training as part of a Service Ambassador training program for their service teams, will benefit from having attended both Service Ambassador Communication Skills courses prior to this module.

Team Power
SA311
Using reflective learning techniques, consultative communication skills and the appreciation that colleagues are also customers, participants soon recognise and demonstrate that working together as a cohesive team is very powerful, rewarding and progressive; as it ensures that customer expectations are consistently exceeded, customer satisfaction assured and operating efficiencies are maximised. The workshop may contain presentations, reading exercises, team activities, team competitions, discussion sessions, practical sessions, video extracts, reference material, workbooks and a personal action diary to help the individual transfer the acquired knowledge and skills into their own particular environment. All personnel involved in delivering after sales service on-site or to their customers premises such as service engineering personnel, service support staff and similar customer-facing groups. A good practical knowledge is required of their own companys equipment, products and services for which they provide customer support. For Service Engineers, experience of visiting customers in a post sale technical support role is highly advisable. Ideally, participants for this course will have attended the Service Ambassador Communications modules. Team Power is a bespoke in-house workshop that should be tailored to suit the needs, objectives and previous experience of a services team. It is intended that the specific training outcomes, associated syllabus and workshop duration are jointly identified following a 12 to 1 day pre-course consultancy with a Festo facilitator. This workshop raises the awareness and develops the ability of service engineering personnel, or any customer-facing group, to work together as a team. Team Power workshops have their greatest impact when they are adapted to reflect the needs and objectives of individual customers. However, as a result of attending a Team Power workshop the participants can typically expect: 1. To recognise the significance of the 3 core competencies in a successful team environment 2. To continue to develop their communication, behavioural and attitude handling skills 3. To adopt the culture that colleagues = customers 4. To appreciate the significance of personal responsibility (ownership) in the team environment 5. To accept the principle of shared responsibilities in the team environment 6. To recognise that the primary objective of a service team is to continuously deliver customer satisfaction 7. To discover that delivering customer satisfaction makes them all winners!

Good presenters are like gold dust extremely valuable but incredibly hard to find. Knowing ones subject is one thing. Having the skills to present it clearly, enthusiastically and persuasively is quite another.

This highly practical course, which makes extensive use of both group and individual tuition, will show delegates how to win and hold the attention of their audience, and ensure that their message is always understood remembered. It will also give them an on-going development tool to take away their personal video of each of their presentations together with the course leaders feedback.

Dont Just Feed Me Chicken Leadership Principles to Engage, Enable and Empower Employees
Course summary
A recent world wide Gallup survey revealed that in Great Britain: 24% of employees are dis-engaged from their employer, the 2nd highest in the world 89% of workers do not feel actively included in their work place 69% of workers feel that their manager doesnt care about them 75% of workers dont believe that their opinions count To be at their most effective and to ensure they work efficiently, organisations need their work force to be fully engaged. This can only be achieved if employees are suitably enabled and empowered to handle their work with minimum external or management support. This Workshop will explore the links between leadership and engagement. Using Lessons from Nature participants will have the opportunity to observe and discuss the impact of leadership on different personalities.
The Role of the Manager
Managers need well developed skills to lead and encourage their teams, guiding them on the correct path without making the individuals dependant upon their input. This unique and memorable workshop considers the managers role as a coach and mentor to their staff. It considers how management style will determine whether employees are able, and willing, to work autonomously or if they will remain dependant upon their supervisors input at every turn. The workshop also considers the environmental conditions that are necessary to engage individuals and help them to think for themselves. Managers and supervisors with responsibilities for employees. Using parallels with nature, this workshop explores how coaching principles can be applied to avoid employee dependency. Taking place at the internationally renowned Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire, the workshop will: demonstrate the techniques used when training birds of prey to perform in shows compared to preparing them for a return to the wild discuss the difference between training & coaching in the working environment highlight the significance of recognising performance and how rewarding performance means something more than praise consider the impact of personality and behaviour style when coaching individuals recognise the impact of environmental conditions on the individual Within the workshop our facilitator will introduce the Leadership T-A-S-K; this concept will be explained and a tool will be provided that will help prompt reflective learning routines for each individual after the event. We will also explain how Festo Didactic Training & Consulting can support your own reflective learning processes after the event. Why a Hawk Conservancy? To help attendees understand and recall the key topics covered, each will have the opportunity to observe the behaviour of a range of birds at the Hawk Conservancy Trust and interact with them. Through activities, presentations and discussions, managers will have the opportunity to consider their own management style and that of their company. They will be able to exchange ideas and experiences with peers to develop a strategy for the future
