Our approach to learning at Eureka HR Solutions is unique. We're passionate about what we do and pride ourselves on our energetic, innovative, client focused approach.
Because no two businesses are the same Eureka HR Solutions won't provide you with an 'off the shelf' training solution. This is where we differ from the large corporate training providers. We don’t believe this works. All our training solutions are based on best practice but specifically tailored to your business needs. That's why our clients find our training solutions not only practical but highly effective and excellent value for money.
We come to you to deliver your tailored training programme. Groups of up to 16 can be trained on site making this an excellent cost-effective option for organizations looking to develop groups of staff. If you don’t have the appropriate on site training facilities we can help you find the perfect training venue.
How we work:
Tailored Programmes
You select a programme that interests you from our menu of courses and we talk to you about course content, length, and emphasis to ensure it’s tailored to your business needs. We then work with you to incorporate case studies and practical exercises that are built around real issues in your business. We also ensure that any relevant company policies and procedures are introduced in to the programme.
Bespoke Programmes
We work with our client using a variety of methodologies to establish the real training need. This ensures that any training solution is specifically developed in line with business needs. A bespoke programme(s) are then developed in partnership with the client and delivered in a means that specifically fits your needs. For example we can deliver a modular programme over a period of time that works for you business and your people.
Our approach to bespoke programmes:
All our programmes are supported by a set of comprehensive course materials including a course manual, PowerPoint presentation slides, case studies and exercises. All delegates will receive a certificate on the day of the course confirming attendance.
