Our working method
We invent the solutions you need
Depending on your objectives, we can create a training course or a study tour that meets your needs in every respect:
Face-to-face formats:
- Sessions of 3.5 hours to 3 days, combining practical workshops, role-playing, exercises, new knowledge, etc., depending on the time available.
Face-to-face and distance learning formats:
- In-class sessions mixed with distance learning sessions to support the trainee in putting their new skills into practice.
Distance learning formats:
- Sessions in the form of 1 to 3 hour webinars combining presentations, collaborative workshops, individual exercises, and discussions on the new knowledge or know-how taught.
- Creation and provision of customised training materials to trainees, delivered in electronic format.
Study tour
- The aim is to take participants out of their comfort zone to use their minds in a different way and release creativity.
- The aim is also to force them to drop the shield and open up to newness and change.
- After a study tour, participants acknowledge that they have experienced the steepest learning curve of their lives and, at home, they have actually implemented many changes, inspired by the discussions of the tour.
Listening and quality at the heart of our approach to tailor-made training
Listening to the client’s needs and monitoring the satisfaction of the trainees are the essential conditions for the success of a tailor-made training programme.
If one of the trainees has a disability or needs a pedagogical adaptation, do not hesitate to contact our disability advisor, Sonia González, either by email sonia.gonzalez@upgrademedia.fr.
Here is our working method to ensure that we define the right pedagogical objectives and that they are well assimilated by the trainees.
At the start of the customised training
- Questionnaire on your needs (buyer-sponsor and trainees).
- Interview to deepen the key points (the buyer-sponsor and trainees).
During the training
- Trainee satisfaction survey at the end of each module.
- Feedback from the satisfaction survey with the buyer-sponsor to reframe the current program, if necessary.
At the end of the training
- Questionnaire for the evaluation of learning.
- Debriefing with the buyer-sponsor of the training.
Results obtained for our management training :
Our tailor-made training courses have a very concrete impact!
We deployed a custom training program to define and publish Premium content in digital-first mode for a French media group. We compared the results obtained between the media that followed our customized training and another media of the group, of the same nature, that did not benefit from our customized training program. The results speak for themselves: +7% of digital subscribers for the trained media versus +2% for the media that did not change its practices!
