!*FIRSTNAME*!
Thank you to the 100 or so users and members of TrainerBase who have
contributed so far to the economic polls we are running.
I am aware that some people had difficulties access the polls
(because the site uses old code which is blocked by browsers). To this end I
have created a couple of new polls which can be accessed much more
easily. If you did not get an opportunity to contribute please do so in
the following:
Will training be ditched as a cost cutting measure as has happened in
previous recessions, or will the 'knowledge economy' require 'knowledge
maintenance and development' to continue? Your responses will inform an editorial I will write for publication in April.
Regards
Peter

The following
have been posted on the site in the past
week or so:
Please do be aware that some opportunities are posted and then
removed before they appear in the weekly update. It is advisable to
check the site periodically as I do not always send out alerts. If you know of a friend who would be interested in any of the
opportunities posted on the site, please feel free to forward them this
email (not give them details of the opportunities) and ask them to use
this referral code when joining the site: - TB21!*USERID*!07. You will
be rewarded for referring the friend.
When considering applying for an opportunity, members should check
the requirements including; Subject, Sector Skills and Level Experience.
If you do not match the requirement you should not apply for the
opportunity, this practice is becoming very unpopular amongst purchasers
and other trainers.
If you are interested in using this facility as a way of sourcing
independent contractors but are not sure about the best way to approach
it, please feel free to email
info@trainerbase.co.uk.
Notice:
Opportunities are restricted information for subscribers only and
must not be distributed to non paying members or associate groups.

A question for purchasers of training.
What will give you confidence that the freelance trainer you are
considering engaging will provide a return on investment or expectation?
The TrainerBase Standard
The TrainerBase Standard is the first ‘occupational’ standard
specifically developed to measure the full range of competence and
behaviours expected of an independent learning and development
practitioner. Purchasers have commented “This is long overdue”.
200 Years of Expertise
The TrainerBase Standard was drawn up by a highly experienced team of
learning and development professionals with close to 200 years of
combined expertise.
Proof of Competence
And this is why the TrainerBase Standard and the Certified Learning
Practitioner (CLP) accreditation is so beneficial to purchasers of
training: a CLP has proved that they are fully competent.
Essential Principles
The TrainerBase Standard has three Principles essential for purchaser
requirements:
- The Personal Principle covers ethical practice, effective
communication and relationship building and Professional
Development.
- The Operational Principle covers best practice from advice
through design and delivery to evaluation of learning activities and
processes.
- The Commercial Principle covers business planning, running a
commercial entity and monitoring ongoing business success.
Purchaser Confidence
Why are the Principles so important? Because you as a purchaser need
the confidence to engage with reliable competent professionals who have
evidenced that they know what they are doing.
For more information on how you can adopt and use The TrainerBase
Standard as a way of ensuring you meet your training objectives please
call: 01239 711544 or visit www.trainerbase.co.uk/thestandard

As a way of gauging how busy and popular TrainerBase is, the
following statistics might be of interest to you:
- Current total number of active members: 6,469 of which 4,425 are UK
based.
- Currently signed up for the newsletter: 5,177
- Currently signed up for offers and ads: 5,714
- Profile views in the past 28 days; 6,876
Number of new member types in the past 28 days;
- Basic user (potential purchaser) 16
- Supplier 2
- Trainer 89
- Change Management, Sales, Management Development, Leadership and
Coaching, are the top searched for subject in
the past 28 days. A total of 157 different subjects were searched for.
- And what are the top keyword searches being used in the
general Search filed on the site: well here they are: tna, export,
invoice, opportunities, kolb, jobs, proposal, training needs analysis,
open questions, presentation skills, train the trainer, coaching,
assertiveness, time management, poll, mpls, project management,
communication, pdp, nebosh, excel, invoices. So when was the last time you checked your Keywords in Edit
Profile, to ensure you are being found? And how many of you have your
name in your keywords?? I advise you to add it as this search facility
is being used to find individuals and it does not currently check any
other attributes other than the keywords field.
TrainerBase has started a major marketing
campaign to raise the profile of CLP amongst the 1,000+ purchasers listed as
wanting to be kept up to date with the Association. TrainerBase is also
actively seeking requests for recommendations within various digests and
online communities. And we are now receiving up to a dozen phone calls or
email requests a week for trainers or recommendations.
If you would like to be
part of these campaigns please
sign up to the CLP accreditation.
