Training the average person wanting to better their computer skills is completely different from training computer professionals who want to learn to use a specific product. Decide on the skills that need to be improved, whether it's the basics in computer know-how or a specific new software program. Set a goal date to have the training accomplished by and estimate the correct date to start training. Ultimately, the benefits you reap will depend on the quality of the instruction, facility, course and the amount of effort the student puts into learning. It may help to create and rank a list of criteria in order to evaluate your computer trainer candidates with more ease.
Cost is always important.
This does not include the cost of travel and time. This is a considerable investment, but the cost pales when compared with the exorbitant expense of not training employees. Skimping on training can end up costing more in security, loss of data and increased downtime. The best value for basic training is usually community college or college extension classes, especially for common products like word processors and spreadsheets. Some companies also guarantee their courses.
