Old dog – New tricks
Wednesday 23rd July 2014 So we haven’t had a work update for a while but that is just to say life is pretty much the same day to day.
That said over the past year I have attended three external training courses run internally by the Hotel’s London HR/Training team. If you are one of the readers from the beginning of my tales you will know my previous feelings with regards to HR!!!
I have to say though the HR team within this company surpass anything I have ever experienced in all of my working career, they really are exceptional and this is proven as they are recognised by external companies as being qualified to deliver their courses for them.
The 3 course I attended were:
PTC Practical Training Certificate (3 days) – a course for training one/two people at a time. This was done here in Guernsey
AIM 2 (ambassadors in management) Level 3 certificate in Leadership and Management a 3 day course in London followed by having 6 months to complete a work based assignment and followed by a 10/15 minute presentation on the said project.
GTC Group Training Certificate again a 3 day course in London, very similar to the PTC but as it says in the title presenting training to a group of people.
Whilst I am the first to acknowledge that these achievements will not set the World alight what makes me proud is the fact that having left school without any qualifications it just goes to prove you are never to old!!!
The other thing that pleases me as much as passing the courses is the fact that even at my age the company feel it is beneficial not only to myself but to them also to have me attend these trainings something I really do appreciate............
