Training has reached a new level with the availability of online training. On line training, accessed via the Internet has many advantages. Agincourt Practice Ltd is able to offer face to face or online training.

BENEFITS OF ONLINE TRAINING
Firstly, the training is one on one. The "Coach" guides the learner each step of the way using a structured process and regular comments and suggestions. The second benefit is the flexibility of the training. If you have a spare twenty minutes, you can use it to complete more of the training programs. Anywhere that you have Internet access, that then becomes your classroom. The level of understanding by each learner is much higher than traditional training. The learner can ask any question of the Coach. The technology of online training includes multi media with streaming videos, PowerPoint programs and hot links to other resources.

ONLINE COACHING

Every winner needs a 'Coach'. This is an established fact in sport. The Coach helps with strategy, skills, knowledge, tactics and discipline. In both your personal and business life, a Coach can provide the same benefits. Meeting with a personal Coach even on a weekly basis is costly in terms of time and money. Online coaching is a better option all round.

THE COACHING PROCESS
So how does it work? Firstly you need to be able to contact your Coach on a twenty-four hour, seven day a week basis. Online coaching can do this. By accessing a process for your particular issue you can develop strategies and action plans. As you complete this work online your Coach can see every element, add comments and suggestions, and point you in the right direction. Added features such as streaming videos, resource material and hotlinks to other relevant data makes a complete support structure, a feature missing from many organisations.

The coaching process is confidential and secure. You are able to discuss any aspect knowing that your Coach has a wide range of experience and the resources of the Mindshop Group to assist you.
