Open
courses, also known as scheduled courses or
public courses, are those that are
run at particular places on specified dates. Many training institutions offer a
range of open courses either in their area of
expertise, or across a broad spectrum, often for certification and qualifications.
Below we have gathered a list of training institutions that provide open courses. You can ‘request information’

Open Courses / Scheduled Courses / Public Courses
Open
courses, also known as scheduled courses or
public courses, are those that are
run at particular places on specified dates. Many training institutions offer a
range of professional development open courses either in their area of
expertise, or across a broad spectrum. A wide range of scheduled
training courses are aimed at businesses of all sizes and sectors.
These courses can help your staff achieve their full potential and improve
performance.
Public
courses are often the most effective way of acquiring certification, or qualification
across all industries. Open courses vary in length depending on the course
provider, or nature of the topic, and range from a few hours, to up to several
years, with the most common being a day or so.

Benefits of Scheduled Courses
Participating in a
scheduled or public course is advantageous for you who are only one, or if you
are less than five people in your organisation who are in need of new
knowledge.
Scheduled courses are usually
carried out with employees from many different companies, and are therefore beneficial
as you will have the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with other
participants. This is particularly valuable if you are the only person from
your own organisation and need further inspiration in your work.
Scheduled
courses are also popular as they encourage out of the box thinking when there
are delegates attending from several different industries.
Often open courses mix
theoretical expositions with hands-on exercises, that allows participants to
try the tasks in within a group and also get explanations from the course
leaders.
Public courses are
generally held in dedicated training centres, especially when a training
institution has its own training facility, and these are fully equipped with
all the materials, presentation equipment and often with refreshment provisions,
making the training experience more straightforward for delegates. In other
cases, training institutions may hire a location for their open training courses,
often hotels or conference centres (often the case for annual open courses
which travel around the country).
