Training gains

13 March 2008  

TRAINING expert Nigel Buchanan has issued a stark warning on the dangers of failing to invest in on-going education.

Accept that you need a training programme without end and that it’s a normal part of business in the same way as having parts supplied

Have a training plan. Understand where each technician in your workshop is and have a plan of how you’re going to develop their skills

Train regularly. Remember, if you don’t train for a year technology a lot of people think their level of technical skill will just stay static. The problem is that technology moves on so in truth, by not training you’re actually going backwards
