From basic to advanced Welcome to the Autumn/Winter brochure of IT Turning Point’s course offerings. We are developing courses and making new associations every day, so if the course you want isn’t here get in touch and we may offer it or know someone who can. This section is looking at IT training from very basic to advanced covering various versions of
Microsoft Office. Now SharePoint training added.
Tailored to suit your needs Here at IT Turning Point we deliver a range of courses that we are proud of. These courses have been developed over years by listening to our customers and creating the course that met their needs. However, we are always looking at new courses and ways of improving existing ones.
Our Goal Our Goal is an easy one. We want the attendees of our courses to leave feeling that the training or consultancy they have had can be implemented at their place of work, and change the way they do things. In fact create a turning point for them, and make their work not necessarily easier but certainly more productive. We would like them to tell others of how they have changed what they do, and that their understanding is now improved, so that the news spreads and we get further business, and they get better results in their workplace.

Turning Points in Management and Professional Development …...
Management and
Professional Development It’s true to say that every organisation is faced with challenges these days, and that every individual needs to raise performance to meet these challenges. However, this won’t happen by chance. People need to develop the right skills and competencies to be able to communicate effectively, lead teams, manage performance, be productive, influence others, win customers etc. Properly targeted, well designed training will make this happen – and that’s what we specialise in.
We have enhanced our Customer Service section due to customer demand.
Tailored to suit your needs We will take time to get to know you and your organisation so that we can produce tailored training solutions that will bring the desired results. Opposite, is a list of course topics, which is by no means everything we can do. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please get in contact ,and we will either design a bespoke course for you, or try to source the training from elsewhere.
Our Goal Similar to our goal for IT courses, we want participants on Management & Personal Development courses to leave with skills that they can implement immediately back in the workplace. We are committed to the highest standards of quality and customer service, proud of our reputation, and the links we have built up with a wide range of clients in private, public and education sectors.

CIPS training The course provides an educational route for candidates working in purchasing and supply, who wish to gain a professional qualification using up-to-date study materials from the
Institute. Bespoke tuition will be delivered on site. This will take account of the need for employees, to minimise travelling to study centres, whilst receiving excellent tuition geared specifically towards each subject as they progress through their qualification.
What we offer and how We offer the levels of CIPS as described opposite, and cover all the topics
necessary for the candidate to feel they have tackled the course in a structured manner. The course is designed to cover the relevant topics prior to the main professional exams which take place in May and November of each year. The candidate will have the necessary material, and will work through topics in their own time as well and tutorials and workshops being provided. We try and deliver at client premises but we have the flexibility to offer other methods and the use of other facilities.
Our Goal Similar to our goal for IT courses, we want participants on the CIPS courses to leave with skills that they can implement at the workplace immediately. We are committed to the highest standards of quality and customer service, and are proud of our reputation and the links we have built up with a wide range of clients in the private, public and education sectors

Turning Points in Effective HR….
Half day Workshops and Full
day Courses
It’s true to say that every organisation is faced with challenges these days, and that every HR Department needs to raise perfor-mance to meet those challenges. However, this won’t happen by chance.
Legislation and employee terms and conditions are changing faster than most HR departments can handle them. With this in mind our professional delivery of key issues that we have been asked for will help you keep up to speed and ahead of the game in many cases.
Tailored to suit your needs We will take time to get to know you and your organisation so that we can pro-duce tailored training solutions that will bring the desired results. Opposite is a list of workshop and course topics, which is by no means everything we can do. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please get in contact and we will ei-ther design a bespoke course for you, or try to source the training from else-where.
Our Goal Similar to our goal for all our courses, we want participants on HR workshops and courses to leave with skills that they can implement immediately back in the workplace. We are committed to the highest standards of quality and cus-tomer service, proud of our reputation and the links we have built up with a wide range of clients in private, public and education sectors.

Turning Points in Quality Systems and Management
1 day courses to 5 day courses
The management of systems and organisations has been changing rapidly over the last 10 years. Pressures are different, quality and standards are sometimes harder to achieve. We have been listening to our clients and have put together a range of courses that cover the main aspects of getting it right. Putting processes and procedures in place that not only change things for the better but help achieve those ever elusive targets and standards.

Psychometric Assessments
We are now associated with a licensed practitioner of a
leading provider of psychometric people assessments and
skills testing, and we now can offer a wide range of these
tools. The assessments can be used to add extra value, and
improve performance at different stages in your business such
as: 1 Recruitment
In addition to the skills, experience and qualifications required does the candidate have the behaviour characteristics required to be successful in this job and fit into the team and company culture?
2. Management
Knowing what motivates each member of staff, what their preferred com-munication style is and how they prefer to be managed can make it much easier to get improved performance from your staff.
3. Re-organisation These assessments can help you benchmark the posts in the organisation and determine what “good” looks like (high performance). You can then look at the profiles of staff against these. This will highlight areas where staff are perhaps in the wrong jobs or need further development. Knowing how staff work, what motivates them, what their preferred com-munication style and style of being managed is, can help you work out the best make up of teams for maximum productivity and minimum dis-putes. Team audits can be conducted to see how the members of team work together (or not) and develop solutions to these issues.
4 Staff Development
Knowing what strengths your staff have in what areas, allows you to work with them to determine what development they need. Do they have the necessary Emotional Intelligence and Leadership skills to be successful in the new Manager’s role or do they need some support with this? How quickly do they process new information?

Testimonials
“We have just completed a 2 day Microsoft Project 2013 training course and
we were all impressed with Ian’s product knowledge but what was really good
was how the course was presented. It was fun, engaging and delivered in a
way that made a very technical course easy to understand and learn. Big thank
you Ian”
Ian Paltiel
Commercial Director
Internet Creation Ltd
“Ian delivered a 1 day course for our staff at Komandor Scotland (Central). Everything Ian taught us was relevant to our needs and delivered in a way which allowed us to absorb the information. He showed us a lot of shortcuts which make navigating around the P.C. simpler and easier , which helps us on a daily basis. He also managed to make understanding easy and non – intimidating by including some humour. Ian’s passion for
what he is teaching is apparent and contagious. We are pleased with both the content and the delivery of the course.
We, here at Komandor would highly recommend I.T.Turning Point.”
