New to Business Training?

First Tutors: Business is a great place to begin your business training career as you can begin promoting your services to clients immediately.

During the registration process you will be asked to declare which specialisms you feel you are qualified to offer training in and to outline your methods and career experience.

Identifying your specialist areas

Think carefully about what you can offer as a professional business trainer; it is normally better to do a few things well than take a scattered approach which may not leave your prospective clients with much confidence in the depth of your knowledge. If you want to be sure that you will seem credible, have a look at other trainers in your area and see what they are offering and charging for their services.

Entering a training arrangement

Here are some preliminary things to consider before you agree to offer business training to a new client:

  • Where will the training take place? Manage the client's expectation in terms of whether you will travel to their premises or expect them to travel to you.
  • Are you delivering a programme of training or creating a bespoke curriculum?
  • Are training materials included in your hourly rate?
