The Training Management Experts
Helmsman's outsourced training management services offer you a flexible, vendor-neutral, single source for the administration, organisation and management of all of your training and development needs - fully focused on your business goals.
Outsourced Training Management
We have the knowledge, resources, people and technology to devise, build and implement business process outsourcing solutions that address all of your training and development requirements, providing a pro-active approach to training and a more efficient use of your training budget. Unlike many other companies offering this service, we do not deliver training, so our service is totally vendor neutral. We don't lock you into having 'our' training as part of the package and this has proven to be a major advantage for our Clients.
We do not take any commissions or other payment from any provider - what we negotiate (and we are very hard negotiators!) is what you pay. Also as a volume buyer of training across the UK we are able to obtain excellent discounts which we pass directly on to you (e.g. British Red Cross 24%, Hemsley Fraser 25%). Our charging model is solely based on the amount of work done by us for you and is an annual contract, payable monthly.
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO Solutions)
Our experience in providing BPO services means we can deliver exactly the right solution for your organisation. Business Process Outsourcing has grown substantially in recent years, and with our expertise in the area of learning and development, we are able to source the most appropriate training services for your particular business model. Our expertise, combined with our ability to negotiate favourable rates from training providers has made us one of the UK's most trusted and cost-effective providers of BPO outsourcing in the field of learning and development.
In an effort to cut costs and boost efficiency, many organisations are looking to focus their efforts on their core products or services, and to outsource non-core functions such as training administration either in part or in whole, makes sound financial sense.
Cost Effective Outsourced Services
Our outsourced services will ensure that the training of your staff will be delivered and will achieve the results you require, whilst reducing your costs. By using Helmsman's outsourced solutions for your organisation's non-core training and development function, more time is available to you and your team to focus on driving your business forward. We also pride ourselves on being able to establish a cost saving both in terms of the cost of your training, as well as the employment costs of having your own people carry out these administrative tasks.
Helmsman's goal is to partner your organisation to establish the level of service you wish us to provide - and then we deliver it! No element of the function is too small for us to consider, so whether you require fully managed outsourced service, or just some basic outsourced training project management, we aim to be able to save you both time and money.
Outsourced Training from the Experts
Although your staff may well have benefitted from pre existing internal training administration, our range of outsourced training services are likely to prove particularly effective in terms of cost. As a company with many years of experience in the industry, at Helmsman we have the power to ensure excellent training is delivered in one of the most affordable ways possible.
Helmsman have been providing an independent, 'vendor neutral' outsourced training management service since 1997 with particular expertise in the construction and social care sectors and with Local Authorities.
With Helmsman, outsourcing training has never been simpler or more cost-effective!
