Title: How many training courses is too many?
Post by: david@zap-clean on October 15, 2013, 01:01:31 pm

There seems to be a lot of new training courses on offer all of a sudden.

I'm a great believer in training.  I've done 2 courses already this year, and I've another 3 booked before the end of the year.  While some are simply refreshers, they will all help me become a better CC'er.  Some courses allow me to add new services to my business, e.g.  leather, curtain, mattress cleaning, pest control... A no brainer.

How many courses do you take?

In my early years I used to do all of the Prochem courses every January. Ron Tilley the MD quizzed me on it once and I replied, 'you're only as good as you know your basics!' He agreed.
Beyond that the best training you can get is on the job where you practise and hone the basic skills learned on a course and turn the theory into practise.
I admire your approach, Dave, nice one.

I try to attend at least 2 each year.

There are always a couple of great nuggets of info to be had.

You may not of been on any formal training , but I,m sure someone has imparted there knowledge onto you .

You should always Invest in yourself , not only is training good but the networking potential is good . also if you
always stay within your own circles how do you broaden your perspective .
