How To Choose The Right Training Course For You
With unemployment levels falling and a feeling of optimism running through the country in regards to the recovery, there has never been a better time to take on a training course with Euro 1 Training.
You’ll gain valuable skills, making you more employable for prospective employers and current employers alike.
The difficulty is choosing the right course; everyone is an individual and everyone will have different needs or attributes that can increase their value and employability.
Here, for your benefit, we have put together just a few of the things you need to consider when searching for the right course.
What do you want?
This may seem like a fairly open ended question, but apply it to your working life. What do you want to gain from a course?
Are there skills that you feel would help you in your search for a new job or do you want to improve a certain area of your abilities to highlight yourself within the company you’re already at?
There are a range of vehicles that you can be trained to use safely and efficiently, but if you already hold these qualifications then you might consider something like a health and safety course.
Which courses are the most applicable?
If you’re unsure exactly what you need to better your job prospects then ask around at local companies for whom you would like to work, they can give you an idea of what qualifications their staff already has to be able to perform their duties even if they aren’t hiring right now.
Only choose a course if it is right for your career path; there is no point in taking on a HGV or LGV course if you would prefer to be based indoors using a forklift truck or a pallet driver.
Take a look at our courses below;
What is in demand?
If you’ve already got a license to drive a forklift and the proper accreditations, then you might think you’re perfectly placed to get a job, but the truth is that there will always be particular skills more in demand at certain points than others.
The best way to determine what people most want is to look at the jobs listed online; if you act quickly you can attain the qualifications most in demand and put yourself ahead of the pack.
What are the best accreditations?
Some people aren’t quite sure what the best path is for them but choosing the right provider of training courses is half the battle itself. Many companies will check who your training was provided by and who they are accredited by.
Here at Euro 1 Training we are accredited by CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) as well as NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) and ITSSAR (Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register).
If you can narrow your preferences and focus your aims even just a little with the advice above, then you’ll be well on your way to choosing the right course.
