When the end of the CPD year approaches, solicitors are desperately running around booking training courses to make sure they fulfil their CPD requirements. But do they actually learn anything from the courses they attend, and are their firms getting any return on their investment? The answer should be yes and if you read this article you will find out how to ensure it always is.
So what should you look for in a great Personal Injury Training Course?
Here are the most important things to look for:
Who delivers it?
Personal Injury Training should be delivered by practicing solicitors who understand the kind of issues the delegates face day to day. They should therefore be practicing Personal Injury Solicitors, Barristers or experts in their field, for example an accident investigator or doctor.
How is it delivered?
Whilst everyone learns in very different ways, by following a few simple rules when designing a training course it is possible to cater for everyone.
Good training should:
Clear Outcomes
Each course should have clear objectives detailing what will be achieved by the end of the day. These should be reviewed throughout the course and recapped at the end of each section and reviewed at the end of the course again. This makes sure the training has achieved what it set out to do.
Evaluation of the course
A good training provider would ask you to complete an evaluation sheet. Usually everyone either tries to avoid filling one out at all, or just goes for the easy option of everything was fine, but it is important to be honest.
If you thought the trainer was boring, the chances are everyone else did too, but if you are not honest with your feedback the training provider has little to go on and cannot make the improvements needed for the next session. A good training provider will not be offended by poor feedback, but will see it as an opportunity to improve the course, so be honest and write down what you think.
