Do you want more work skill evaluating?

We are getting an increasing demand for people looking for skill evaluation dates.  This is an easy way of supplementing your income and you can bolt dates on to existing training days.   Skill evaluating is where you check the skills of students who have already learnt the skills and been tested but they then must carry out a short practical evaluation of their skills. The students are usually Doctors, Nurses and medical professionals. They complete, or you sell our www.probls.co.uk or www.procpr.co.uk courses then you complete the practical evaluation. We have a online booking system where you can promote dates then our customers can book on your dates and pay you.

This can be a good income stream to supplement your business and you can fit it around existing commitments and jobs.    If you are already a current ProTrainings instructor you will already be a skill evaluator or if you want to register let me know and we can get you set up for free. You can also set up as a ProTrainings centre and offer ProTrainings and QCF certificates but with a difference, we give you material, PDF manuals, student login’s, e-learning sales, marketing help, course promotion, online bookings to your courses and lot more. We have a bulk date feature that allows you to set dates simply so that the companies we are working with can find you.  If you need help with this please let us know as the demand is not meeting the number of dates set.

If you want any more information or are interested in being one of our approved skill evaluations, contact us on 01206 805359 or support@protrainings.eu

New online course Information Governance

Staying current, active and viewable on the ProTrainings system by acting on the reminders on your dashboard

It is a requirement that all instructors keep their CPD up to date and complete an annual skill evaluation.  You also need to ensure your FAW or exemption is current and emailed to ProTrainings to ensure you are not made non viewable or put in to non teaching status.  Warnings show on your dashboard if you are within three months of your FAW expiring or annual skill evaluation being due.

CPD – We give all instructors a free AED and First Aid at Work annual refresher video online course to keep the skills fresh.  You can also access the free instructor refresher site which tells you about how to use our system, teaching, marketing, business, QCF and other useful information.  Simply select the course form the home page once you log in and then complete it. The course is automatically added to your Portfolio of Evidence.  It is important to keep your skill fresh and to keep learning about your subject area to be an effective compliant instructor.

Listing courses on www.procourses.co.uk for maximum results

To maximise potential sales we recommend listing multiple courses on the same date on the ProCourses website and using the new bulk class listing feature on your instructor dashboard, this is a simple process to set for the next 12 months.

For example if you list the following together:
Basic Life Support,  Basic Life Support for Dentists & Basic Life Support for Healthcare Professionals

If you list other courses on the same day that cannot be taught together you can choose to run the one that you receive the first booking for, making sure that you remove the other listings you have made for the same day from the site.

Running 2 half day courses on the same day will help you to make the most of room hire costs and also consider running evening courses and evaluations from your home. Instructors have already done this and it has worked very well especially if you have a small number of people to evaluate or teach.

Bulk upload courses dates from a single page, now available

We have added a bulk dates upload when you create a classroom.  This allows you to either list all dates for the rest of the year or just select something like the first Tuesday of the month and it will create for the rest of the year.  You can also exclude dates like holidays or Christmas all from the one class creation page.  What we are needing centres to do is to create dates for the rest of the year for all courses, not just the workplace courses as this will increase the web presence and you will receive more bookings and enquiries. This feature will get more bookings on your courses but you have to list courses for it to work! For more information see www.instructorblogs.co.uk
