ITD Training FAQs
The following FAQs are training and specifcally about soft skills training. They are not just about ITD and our training, but also apply to soft skill training generically. Weirdly you will notice that not all the questions below are actually questions, that is because they are search terms lots of people put into google to find out stuff about training. So in fact they are questions they’re just not in question format. Hope that makes sense!
Soft Skills Training FAQs
The term ‘Soft Skills’ is a bit of strange phrase but what it usually means is any skill which is work related but not of a technical nature. It’s not about skills which you need specifically to do your job. For example if you work as a sales person for a building company, you will need technical training about what your company does, how the building are built etc. The soft skills training you will need covers things like sales training presentation skills training. So the soft skills training is needed for your role but not the technical part. Some thing soft doesn’t sound right because it can be very hard!Another phrase for the same area is business skills training.
Training Costs FAQs
How much does training cost? How much should training cost? This all depends on value, that is how much is it worth to the organisation buying it. For this reason training costs need to be measured against the value it brings.
Soft Skills Training Specific Subject FAQs
This section of FAQs is to do with training subjects which are more generic areas. This means things like influencing or negotiation. It also includes new areas such as Nudge.
Management Skills Training FAQs
Many managers are promoted into the role because they are good at the functional are of the role. So a person who is good in the finance team may well get promoted to be finance manager. A good sales person often gets promoted to be a sales manager. But very often they get promoted without any formal management training. For that reason it is very important to train people shortly after they are promoted, or best of all before they are promoted.

Leadership Skills Training FAQs
