Information About Nicole - Wimborne trainer

Personal Description:

A positive, proactive ICT Trainer with over ten years experience in teaching Microsoft products and bespoke software. I am constantly updating my skills to move with the times and have diversified by becoming a Skills For Life Tutor.
I enjoy keeping fit by swimming, Pilates and a keen runner. I have competed in various races throughout Dorset, as well as the London Marathon, Great South and North Run.

Training Experience:

Throughout this time I have worked on a part time basis for the Bournemouth and Poole College in their Adult Education Community Program teaching RSA Clait Level 1 & 2, Email and Internet courses. Part of my duties with the college was to identify training needs through analysing the gaps in the skills and produce a training schedule. I have also taught Key Skills 1, 2 and 3 for the Wessex Business Group. Prior to teaching ICT I worked as a receptionist/cashier in the Hotel Industry for over 10 years, my last role being a Reception Manager. From here I went on to join a Private Medical Clinic in Harley Street as their Chief Administrator. This position gave me a great in-site into running a small business, liaising with Consultants, Doctors, Nurses and Hospitals along with the office duties such as advertising, recruitment and taking payments.
While I have worked for Bournemouth Borough Council I have designed, prepared and implemented many of our in-house training schemes that are operational at present. I have written all the training materials, exercises, briefs, handouts, presentations, session plans, schemes of work, evaluation sheets and skills gap analysis. I instigated the embedding of literacy with specific ICT courses, notably email etiquette and hope to achieve the same for numeracy. I am very determined and committed to teaching. For this reason I set up the ITQ qualification within our NVQ centre and City & Guilds. I act as a Link Officer for the ICT section to keep them abreast of Training and Development within the authority.

Training Approach:

Totally committed
