10 Steps To Finding A Great Legal Training Course Provider (Part 1 of 2)

For Part 2 Click Here

If you are looking for some legal training having used the same provider of legal training courses now for sometime, how do you find and select a new legal training provider to ensure that you receive the best return on your investment?

1. Easy To Find?

Your first test may sound like an obvious one, but does the legal training provider make it easy for you to find them? If you go onto the internet and do a search on core search terms such as “legal training” and “legal training courses”, are you able to find a selection of providers of courses? This is where everyone starts their search now and any company that is not only up to date with its subject matter should also be keeping up to date with the latest trends in how prospective clients will find their business.

So step one is to start your search on the internet.

2. A Variety Of Courses?

Do they have a variety of different types of legal training courses, or do they only offer one or two specialist courses that they run again and again? If you are looking for a training provider that you can use again and again (if they run the right quality of training course) you want to make sure that you can use them for a variety of training courses so if they have more than one course on offer and you try it and like it, you can return for many different courses without having to go through the search and selection process each time.

Do they have a variety of courses on offer?

3. Do They Offer A Free Newsletter/Training Updates?

Your time as a solicitor, personnel manager or partner is best spent working on the main aspects of your job rather than hunting around on the internet for new courses. Therefore, if the website you find offers a free newsletter in which they announce their new course dates and locations, this can save you a considerable amount of time.

Finding a supplier of legal training with a newsletter update service is the next step.

4. Do They Offer Training In A Variety Of Locations?

Can you attend the training courses in more than one location, or do they tend to only offer training in once location close to their premises? Whilst it may be easier for the training company to use their own premises, you need a provider that can serve your local legal training needs, so finding a trainer with courses in different locations could be important to save you time.

5. Do They Seem Approachable?

When you are choosing a provider, you want to make sure that you are dealing with someone that makes it as easy as possible for you to approach them with any questions about current or upcoming courses. Does their website make it easy for you to contact them? Is there a telephone number clearly displayed, an email address easy to find and a booking or general enquiry form? These are items you would expect to find as a bare minimum.

In addition, once you make contact, do they respond quickly to your enquiry, and when you contact them do they sound grateful for your enquiry (not desperate but happy to talk with you) and do they follow up as they say that they will do?

You are looking for someone with the complete package and being easy to approach is important to make your job in finding courses as easy as possible.

6. Is There Good Feedback From Previous Course Attendees?

The next step is a very important one; is there excellent feedback from other people that have already attended their legal training courses? If you are looking for a longterm training partner, you want to ensure that they consistently deliver excellent courses. If you have not yet attended one, the only way you can have any feel for this is by looking at the feedback from other solicitors that have already attended.

Good feedback is vital.

Summary

In the next section we will look at the legal content and associated aspects of the legal training provider to help you on your quest for the best provider for your needs.
