Technical professionals build, deliver, and support technology solutions. Hence, they possess technical, analytical, and logical skills required for solving finite problems.
These skills are critical. However, in today’s workplace, they are inadequate. Technical professionals need effective communication skills to accompany their technical prowess.
The ability to communicate, cooperate, coordinate, resolve differences and persuade others effectively will determine success as much as (if not more than) the technical professionals’ ability to perform the technical aspects of their job.
And, due to the specificity of their education, many technical professionals do not have these abilities, which communication skills encompass. And this deprives them of the interpersonal vehicle needed for performance enhancement.
As a result, technical professionals have typical shortcomings. Some of them are as follows:
These subtle shortcomings can have damaging effects on business results. And we have designed this course to curb them.
It will equip technical professionals with communication skills that will complement their technical skills and position them for optimum productivity in today's workplace.
After the fundamentals, participants will be taken through communication filters before exploring personality types where they can administer a self-scorable assessment using Myers-Brigg Type Indicator®. With these as the launch pad, participants will go on to learn rapport building, communicating with critical stakeholders in the workplace, writing business documents, electronic communication, and the concepts of conflict and how to avoid the unnecessary.

Training Information
Delivery: E-learning (interactive, self-paced, and convenient).
How It Works: Using the unique login details we will send, participants simply access our learning portal with their browser and start learning.
Each participant will be in control of their learning pace and so can leverage our built-in concept of scaffolding to boost learning outcome.
Besides, they take the training at their convenience – any time of the day that suits their schedule and as frequently as they like until they finish.
Anywhere in the course a participant stops temporarily, it’s automatically saved so when they resume they continue from there by default.
Duration: Because it's self-paced, participants finish at different times. However, on the average, busy participants finish in 1 week.
Reports: We send reports periodically to your organization until all participants complete their training. For each participant, the reports show progress, performance score, total time spent learning, and the last time course was accessed.
Certificate: Each participant receives a certificate of training if course is successfully completed.
Access period: 30 days (can be extended).
Access device: Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet.
Comes with: Course transcripts for reference, and 100% money-back guarantee.
Learning Management & Support: We are usually in touch with every participant to encourage and support them until they finish. This leads to very high course completion rate.
Learning Outcome: On LearnSmart, the learning outcome compares favorably with that of conventional training. This is because of increased level of participation through interactivity and learning-pace control.
Throughout each course, in an interactive manner, there are engaging questions and exercises that help assess the participant’s understanding as they learn. This approach gives concepts their own room to breathe and get digested.
And with control of their learning pace, each participant will have the ability to stop and reflect whenever they want, or return to previously-delivered content, and thus ensure a deeper understanding before continuing. A participant will have the time to digest and integrate information being presented into their existing understanding and context. This is how they make sense of it leading to higher levels of cognitive engagement and higher levels of retention.
For the best learning outcome, we recommend that training be taken in chunks of minutes consistently rather than taking it in a long stretch trying to finish quickly.
