Top 10 in-house training challenges

Running your own training in-house can be challenging. You need the right skills, knowledge, experience and capacity. But if you get it right, the benefits to your organisation are significant.

By taking full control of your training, you can make sure you meet your organisation’s strategic objectives through targeted, impactful programmes. In-house training is also flexible and cost effective.

In this webinar, we looked at the top 10 in-house training challenges employers tell us they’re facing. Expert L&D consultant Beckie Badger explained how we help companies solve each challenge, using examples from City & Guilds’ Training Consultancy service.

The challenges we cover:

1. Our training doesn’t develop the skills our business needs 

2. The quality of our training needs to be improved 

3. The assessment within our training is not working 

4. We don’t know how to evaluate our training against its aims 

5. We can’t measure ROI for training 

6. We don’t have clear progression pathways for staff 

7. We want to create our own training, but we don’t have the capacity or experience 

8. We want to add assessment to our training, but we’re not sure how to design it ourselves 

9. Our staff are going to deliver our training, but they need upskilling 

10. We need help evaluating our training
