Bite Size Learning: Short courses delivered online and in-person

Fast and effective learning in just 90-minutes!

In today’s world, it’s more difficult than ever to find the time and resources to effectively train your people. Busy and overwhelmed staff, travel schedules, tight project deadlines, and shrinking training budgets all add up to a logistical headache when trying to set up training.

Now, there’s a simple solution: Bite Size Learning! Focused 90-minute short courses which can be delivered online or face-to-face in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific Region.

Provide your people with laser-focused, just-in-time training that they can apply immediately to their work, in an easy-to-digest 90-minute short course format. 

Easy to set up and with a range of topics, Bite Size Learning short courses are designed to improve staff skills and performance, whilst saving you time and money. 

The problem with traditional employee training is that it isn’t designed to meet the needs of today’s workplace. Employees simply don’t have the time or bandwidth to spend hours or days in training programs. When they do, they end up bored, overwhelmed, or don’t even use the information they’ve been taught.  In fact, it’s estimated that within less than a week, adult learners forget 75% of what they learned in traditional training programs.  

Meet your people where they are, today, with relevant short course training that they can put to work the minute they get back to their desks. 

Say goodbye to:

• Expensive multi-day training
• Training that overwhelms
• “One size fits all” training programs

Start serving up:

• Relevant information that your employees can use now
• Bite Sized Training that gets to the point so employees can spend their time implementing
• Short course workshops that motivate and engage without draining your training budget

Here is what a recent client has said about Bite Size Learning:

“I must say that the condensed bite sized course that you do, gets right to the point. The handouts are like a ‘cheat sheet’ for quick reference, rather than volumes of stuff to trawl through from the 3-day residential on leadership”. Senior Manager – Australian Government
