RPC Containers are the largest manufacturers of plastic containers in the world. Bet you that if you drink a bottle of water or buy a tube of weed killer, it was probably made by RPC. Inside there was some amazing technology including a 3d Printer and what's more a 3d scanner (See picture). RPC wanted Photoshop Training course at their Northampton distribution centre use Photoshop to mock up labels for containers for their customers. To give them some idea as to how the labels will look on the finished product.

Today I am in Birmingham, and this time at Ofwat, who is the regulator for water here in the UK. The company refectory/eating area had these weird James Bond baddie chairs. These chairs were certainly in keeping with the task Ofwat is tasked with. That is keeping the local water authorities from raising prices. I was there conducting an Advanced Excel training course. Now most of the delegates on the course wanted a refresher on IF functions, VLookups and Pivot Tables. Also Macros was the topic of preference and we spent most of our time on that topic. We all had fun and every enjoyed what could have been a boring subject. However many questions were asked and there simply wasn't enough time to cover everything. Hopefully the free training videos will help them out. Today I was training Microsoft Visio 2013 in Huntingdon for Cambridge council. One of the most difficult things when training Microsoft Visio is marrying up what you are teaching with your students expectations. One of the things I was asked to train was to take quite a complicated process, and simplify it. So with the goal fixed firmly in mind we used flow charts, cross functional flowcharts and business process mapping to make what before had was a complicated diagram a of lot easier to understand. Now have you heard of Microsoft Project? Some find Project a little difficult to master. However in empowering Visio creating a GANTT chart so much easier. |
The art of trainingI've seen many things the good the bad and the darn right ugly. Not that perfection in training is anything I've achieved but sometimes a bit of empathy and common sense can make the person you're training feel at ease and aid training. Archives
