Courses | Training Facilities | Training Quality
 

Training in the use of Hornet products and in Project Management techniques is available at Hornet's dedicated training facility in picturesque Rothbury or on site as required.

All Hornet training is designed to improve proficiency and help trainees to improve the quality of their work. The sooner improved proficiency is achieved, the sooner improvements become effective.

 
Over many years we have identified the particular training needs associated with project management and this has led to the design and provision of an extensive range of courses. Teaching methods balance theory and practice, and courses are structured to enable delegates to share their experience and expertise with managers from other organisations - making presentations lively and informative and ensuring that training is both enjoyable and educational.

Whether the need is for general courses to develop skills in using the Hornet range of software products or more customised courses to satisfy specific training requirements, our training department is widely recognised for its ability to deliver value for money and results.

All training is undertaken in a quality controlled environment. Delegates are requested to complete course assessment sheets which are formally reviewed and acted upon. On bespoke courses, we welcome the direct involvement of the client training organiser in this review process.

All courses are continually reviewed and upgraded to include:

• Latest feature and function;
• Examples of good practice;
• Results of previous course reviews;

Input and suggestions from training delegates.

A permanent dedicated training facility is available at our Rothbury offices which is fully equipped with all necessary equipment and presentation facilities.

Based in the relaxed, rural area of Northumberland and well away from daily distractions, Rothbury offers an ideal location where delegates can truly focus on training needs in an informal yet hard working environment. Special discount rates with local hotels have been arranged.

Public Courses

Standard courses are offered in all aspects of the use, configuration and application of the Hornet range of products. Whether for novice, expert or system manager, courses are available designed for their needs.

Theory and Practice

Courses are also available which focus on the theory of Project Management and good practice in its implementation. The Hornet product range can be used to highlight particular topics or another product may be used, as agreed with yourselves.

Introductory Courses

Introductory courses are offered which are designed to bring the novice up to a high level of competency in the use and application of the system.

Advanced Courses

Advanced courses are designed to allow the ready-skilled to improve their techniques and understanding of both Hornet systems and enable staff to increase the effective use of Hornet within their organisations.

Project structures and data management skills figure strongly in this area.

Conversion Courses

Intensive one day courses are available which focus on the needs of delegates who need to apply their existing skills with a new system.

Here the stress is on feature and function and ease of use rather than theory.

Administrators Course

System managers/administrators are offered a course which allows them to understand the Hornet system and how it may be configured and managed to maximise benefits to their businesses.

Report Writing Course

The report writing course is designed to capitalise on one of the key strengths of the Hornet systems. The course take skilled personnel through a structured approach to reporting and show how to get the best from Hornet.

The focus is always on the business need and quality of output, rather than exercising different features and functions.

Bespoke Training

One of our key strengths is the ability to design, produce and present training courses which are focused on the particular needs of the client. We are expert in working with clients and putting together the right combinations to maximise the benefits of your investment.

Whether such a course is undertaken at Rothbury or a site of your own choice, the focus on objectives and quality remains.

If a standard course does not fit your specific needs, a cost effective bespoke course may be a viable option. In close consultation with you, we will define:

• What your objectives are;
• Who needs to be trained;
• When training needs to be done;
• How are objectives to be met;
• Where it should be presented;
• How results will be reviewed.

On completion of the course, the results will be jointly reviewed to ensure the course has met your original objectives.
