Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) and other IT managers increasingly turn to training brokers for help locating the best of breed.
Training brokers connect their clients with the right resource, be it a training provider or an expert trainer that can fulfill their clients' needs while saving the clients a substantial amount of money.
Although several market leaders in the training and certification space continue to thrive, there is no single provider that can assimilate and offer ALL of the dynamic content of the major IT vendors while accommodating the continuous training and certification demands of the growing array of corporate and individual clients.
As a matter of fact, providers of training and certification services are unable to accommodate internally more than 60% of all training and certification requests. To remain profitable and keep overhead expenses low, there is no training provider that can excel in more than five vendor areas. Keeping that in mind, large corporations using a wide range of technologies have to locate dozens of training providers to support and train their IT teams. As a result of the time and resource requirements for any organization to identify and keep track of training, over 35% of the training funds end up in administrative costs.
That’s where brokers come in. They screen each potential training resource very carefully since after all, they will be representing that broker's company. Their business is to satisfy the clients’ needs as best as possible.
IT executives find a great, long-term partner in a capable broker who helps identify the best-fit provider or consultant for their training initiatives. “HR, Learning & Development and other managers have to divide their time to accommodate multiple requests and projects. Our task, however, is only one: to locate the best source for our client’s training needs”, says Nicholas Ntovas, CEO of Training Capital, a consortium of over 500 training providers and one of the most sophisticated search portals available today.
Mr. Ntovas adds that vital to Training Capital’s success is not only having the right Web tools in place to automate the search process. What gives the company a competitive advantage is the team. Each of the team members were rigorously interviewed and picked based on their years of experience in the IT training industry and their in-depth knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of key players in a much segmented market.
