Fit4Business® – The Complete
Managed Solution
Our Fit4Business® programme helps
partners develop skills competencies and job roles through a
comprehensive training plan. It is based on a tried and tested
methodology that is easy to implement, monitor, evaluate and follow
up. This managed solution offers a Fit4Business® tool that enables
efficient consultancy, accurate requirements calculations and
on-going partner status management.
About the
Solution
The Fit4Business® solution provides
the channel community with these key components to help them
achieve, retain, and enhance their partner status:
-
Business Review – Consultancy and Planning
We work with you to analyse your
current employee certification, specialisation and competency
status. The consultancy phase uses tools and templates developed by
Global Knowledge and employs well known analysis techniques.
The output from the business review
phase is a fully tailored training plan covering the learning
requirements at an individual and organisational level. This helps
you develop your partner status in a timely and cost-effective
way.
-
Training Delivery and Administration
We take your selected candidates
through a tailored schedule of courses so they can gain the
relevant certification, specialisation, or competency-led training
that is needed for you to achieve your partnership status. As part
of the Fit4Business® managed solution, we will register students
for training as well as manage class transfers and cancellations
and record successful completions.
-
Communication and Reporting
We will regularly provide you and the
vendor with an update of your progress. Additionally, we will
notify you of any delays and will work with you to keep your
candidates on track.
-
Evaluation and Contingency Planning
Once you have achieved your partner status, we will work with
you to ensure that your employees meet the criteria that are
required to maintain your partnership status. We will also develop
a contingency plan with you. This involves identifying a second
generation of staff who need to meet their certification,
specialisation or competency requirements to help you future proof
your business.
