I am passionate about delivering the much needed soft skills training directly into the hands of adult learners so that they can have a chance to get a job, get a promotion or start a business.

We specialise in delivering courses in three ways, online, intense workshops or home study.

By using mobile technology I can help enterprises speed up the introduction to mobile learning through our shared or white labelled solutions.

We have over 400

courses which are ready to go and also customisable. Call us on 0203 551 2621

I would further like to share with you 8 of the top reasons why increasing numbers of companies are choosing to collaborate with us to help train their staff in the doing skills

Diane Shawe“The only thing worse than training people and having them leave, is not training them and having them stay”

/AVPT is the only UK Globally Accredited online, workshop and home study based provider of over 390 Soft Skills courses which are ready to go, customisable and can be corporately branded. We are proud to introduce our cutting edge, proprietary online Learning Management system and pre Personal Training Needs Analysis system.

It takes an awful lot of time and effort to create a training course; Designing, researching, writing, and appropriately presenting it. Especially difficult though, even more so is the time taken to create an on-line learning system to work fluently and securely with various technologies. We know this because we have done just this.

What most people , employers, entrepreneurs and even some education-al institutions do not have in today’s current environ-ment is time the neces-sary resources and the infrastructure they need to support and achieve their learning objectives. Both our online and workshop based courses are a cost effective way to deliver and up-skill a wide cross section of our society. De-signed to be student (user) centric and time sensitive. We believe that online courses can save time, are easily scalable, reduced acquisition costs per per-son, measurable, provide a flexible virtual support system, less paper/ink (en-vironmentally green!) and are generally less stressful owing to their user led flex-ibility!

1. We understand your sector inside out - that is why our main focus is placed upon providing the highest quality training of your staff, in the shortest possible time and to ensure that every person who trains with us goes out more effective than when they came in.

2. We Are very flexible, student centric and time sensitive.

3. We Can help you with both compliance and accreditation issues.

4. Allow real time tracking, monitorng and measure staff progress and achievements.

5. Enables the up-skilling of receptionists through to board members.

6. Impressive lead times that can be delivered over different time scales to suit individual learning needs.

7. Each of your staff gets allocated a personal tutor to help them complete their online course.

8. Mobile phone and tablet compliant and secure with no advertising to suck up bandwidth.

How we do it

Academy of Virtual and Professional Training

9. We have immediate availability at the very last minute for a large number of effective tailored one day courses including social media marketing, building self esteem, information management, writing reports and proposals, minute taking, business marketing, leadership skills, sales & negotiation and much more!

10. We are CPD accredited by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority so we understand the challenges facing legal firms and what they need.

11. We are IAO accredited so certificates are recognised around the world.

Over 70% of people now access information using a mobile device. We can deliver up to date courses via any compliant mobile device that has broadband and internet access anywhere in the world.

Teaching using 21st Century pedagogy, AVPT educators must be student centric and for that reason all of our virtual teacher and workshop facilitators have been highly trained to create the most comprehensive training experience for individuals within our broader society. Effectively covering everyone’s individual learning style! Our courses will not only train them in soft skill but also help them to become technology fluent.

/ JOBS OF THE FUTURE

The traditional belief that we must prepare ourselves to be ‘employable’ is under threat. The counter argument encourages us to ‘gear up’ for earning our own money, rather than seeing income as someone else’s responsibility.With the population dramatically ageing and low-level jobs increasingly swallowed up by machinery , entrepreneurship will be a necessity for many, rather than a life-style choice for some.

I launched AVPT because I believe that soft skill training can help any person feed once they can prove that they have those skills necessary to earn a living, get promoted, get a job or start a business.

Smes are of course already leading this charge but although you recognise the

impact skilled staff make to your bottom line , a lot of the unemployed who could help them grow their business need soft skills training so they can add value to the small busi-nesses bottom line.

INDIVIDUAL APPROACH

Techniques that blend with an individual’s learning style

don’t stop there. Using Google translate, AVPT Courses

are suitable where English is not the first language.Visually

impaired employees can use assisted technology to access

course content and all 450 courses (with the exception of

it) are available as face-to-face workshops or online. Some

companies prefer staff to be trained collectively and person,

but if the whole team needs to qualify quickly, scalable online

works best.“Regardless of anyone’s challenges, We have

crossed borders,” continues shawe .“Education is too focused

on the institution, not the student. Real training will help them

get a job, be promoted or start a business.”

BREAK IT DOWN

Bite-sized chunks lead the way. Instead of a three-

year course, or long winded evening classes, enrol

at any time and carve the learning into foundation,

intermediate, advance and expert stages that

mirror progress through your role to make training

more manageable alongside work and life and aid

the study itself. “We know people learn best when

they are motivated by the prospect of it ,”

SPEEDY SUCCESS

The fact that most people struggle to absorb

information for more than 20 minutes, coupled with

the micro app and social media way we consume

information now, has created a real case for the

short, sharp hit. All our online courses are for a

maximum of 4 weeks or you can learn on in a fast

track workshop environment.

New-wave training is undestandably keen to make

the understandably keen to make the most of

digital technology. For instance “We can update

content in real time and quickly generate new

courses in response to legislative changes. We

had one student that logged on 539 times in 21

days to complete a four week course! With mobile

technology she could dip in and out during her

working day and at home!”

For smes there’s no longer a worry of sabbaticals

or disruption. Skills develop gradually and

inclusively, alongside roles, making it the ideal way

for business owners, as well as their staff, to upskill.

REWARDING QUALITY

Amazingly those vital ‘soft’ skills for vocational

and professional training had never been qualified

until I questioned and and subsequently achieved

global accreditation in 2012 from the international

accreditation organisation in the us. “It’s critical to

know that standards have been evaluated and that

your certificate is recognised around the world. We

have achieved other recognisable accreditations

since

END TO END SUPPORT

By cantrast, AVPT courses are exceptional ways of

learning. Students complete a structured manual

to keep when they attend any of our workshop

courses. Online students don’t lose out either

because trained facilitators support students

throughout, so they never feel isolated.They are

allocated their own personal virtual online tutor to

help guide them throughout their course over the

4 weeks. They work steadily, learning by doing –

perhaps an assignment or producing graphs - to

avoid information overload. They are tested before

and after to measure progress and complete an

action plan outlining integration of the new skills

into daily life.Their accredited certificate is proof of

quality learning.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR SYSTEM WORKS FOR YOU, SO WE HAVE DEVISED OUR STUDENT CENTRIC PLAN TO HELP KEEP US FOCUSED ON THE AREAS WE NEED TO HELP YOU TO REACH FULL COMPETENCY.

Structure for the SilverpreneursTurning 50 isn’t the end of a business career – it’s the beginning. And an ever-growing wave of ‘olderpreneurs’, starting a business have 70% chance of surviving their first five years compared with only a 28% survival rate for those younger than them.

Nearly half the self-employment population is over 50, and one in six new businesses started in the UK are set up by post-half-centuri-ons.

Evidence also shows that this growing group is serious about short relevant structured courses.

/ Set up your own Leadership & Management Training Academy

The current speed of change means that employees need to be trained continuously in order for Companies to avoid the dangers of being out-thought and out-maneuvered by competitors.

These training in i t iat ives ( incorporat ing indiv idual and group training act iv i t ies) need to be monitored and managed via a consistent and re l iable tracking system that can be stored, consulted and analysed as required.

A l l organisat ion ’s should be ab le to “under take competent ly ” core act iv i t ies such as ethical behaviours , technical skil ls (drafting, negotiating, researching), management of work (planning, prioritising, record keeping) and working communicating with other people. But the most important thing is establ ishing that competence has been reached by an independent Academy that can be trusted.
