 How DHI Distance Learning training courses add value

Most managers today are extremely wary of the cost of training courses. This is not surprising given that many courses on offer are extremely expensive and of dubiuos value to the organisation.  We at DHI are very conscious of this and pride ourselves on our track record of making sure that our courses achieve the results that you are looking for, are value for money and serve the purpose intended.

Now in response to popular demand we are in the process of converting all of our courses to a Distance Learning approach. This includes both e-learning and CD/Video etc.

Our Faculty extends over the Globe with expert assistance on most continents and many countries but we are also in the process of developiong Virtual Tutorials and Webinars to make our services available anywhere there is access to the Internet.

Before you book on any of our courses whether 'in house', or by Distance Learning we welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements in detail to make sure that you will get what you want.

Integrated Management Systems

Though the application of the Hoshin Kanri process, all of our courses, particularly those included in the strategy section, whether specifically 'Quality' related, Safety, Environmental etc. are compatible with the concept of 'INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS'. The reason being that we cannot envisage an organisation being perceived to have a quality reputation whilst polluting the environment or uncaringly putting either its employees or public in general at any kind of risk. If the DHI approach to Hoshin Kanri is followed, then all of these and other management issues will automatically be developed in an integrated approach. In fact DHI have consistently applied this thinking ever since it was first established under the name David Hutchins Associates in the late 1970s.


Self Funding Training courses.

The days have long since passed when companies sent people on courses to give them a break! Yes, it did happen! Even in those days, DHI did everything to ensure that our courses met their objectives and served the real needs of the client. In many cases, the cost of the course was more than recovered even during the event itself. In fact in one case, a group of 4 participants saved their company more than £3M in just one 90 minute session on one of our courses. The idea was implemented immediately and resulted in an exceptional amount being published in their annual report. We do not guarantee to be able to do this every time but it is always a possibility!

Practical Experience

All presenters of DHI courses are experts in their own right. As such they are able to give advice and answer most of the awkward questions. If they cannot, then they will make it their business to find out. We always operate a helpline to our clients.

The content of all of our Training Courses is based on practical experience and there is no unqualified theory. We aim to make all courses approximately 50% lecture and discussion and 50% group work. Our trainers are all experts in their subjects and willing to provide hands on assistance with follow up consultancy where required. 

Visual Training aids

Over the years, DHI has built up considerable experience in the creation of client specific visual training aids. These include client specific videos and DVDs where we can both script and produce video/DVD  training products. 

We can also produce your own PowerPoint presentations on a contract basis or as part of an overall training package. 

Slash the cost of training!

The cost of marketing training courses is a very significant part of the course fees. Consequently, sending people on piecemeal courses can be very expensive. We can help you and help ourselves as well, possibly halving the cost of your annual training budget if we work with you to plan and conduct your annual training programme. The benefit to us is to be sure of regular work and also reduce dependance on marketing. We  pass all of the financial benefits of this to our clients.

Our work is founded on the teachings of Dr J.M. Juran, Dr Edwards Deming, Professor Kaoru Ishikawa and Dr Feigenbaum together with concepts of our own creation. Continuous improvement is central to our teaching and consultancy and our courses on this topic are second to none.
