Did you know that 30% of companies in the U.S. don’t utilize any form of management training? That’s an interesting statistic on its own, but it makes even less sense when you stop and think about how many online management training programs exist today. In other words, businesses have easy access to an immense amount of material and training tips but choose not to use it. And that says nothing of important in-house training new managers should receive before a big promotion.
Ultimately, many reasons for this lack of instruction probably exist. However, one has to stop and wonder whether the sheer amount of content paralyzes decision makers. For example, one site noted having over 1,000 courses on its own. And that doesn’t even begin to cover the countless other providers out there offering both in-person and online management training programs. After a while, everything starts to look the same, and one choice appears no better than another.
In a sea of similar providers, it can become extremely difficult to stand out. Fortunately, at VTR Learning, we have a unique way of conducting our training. Keep reading and we’ll tell you more about what sets it apart from others. That way, you have a clear path forward with online management training programs.
A Different Approach to Management Training Programs
Without diving into the entire history of VTR Learning, you should at least know every course adapts from an accredited MBA program. The initial idea in the early 2000s was offering a meaningful and competent business education in a fully-online format. And while we still serve university students, that core focus eventually shifted to business professionals. So, the information provided throughout our courseware is of a quality meant for those moving into management positions.
However, rather than offering yet another lecture-based video system, our program centers around the idea of learning business by doing business. And that’s the key aspect that sets our management training programs apart from others you might find online. Each of our proprietary courses casts the learner as an intern at a fictional company, modeled off a real business in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
At Central Products, you work under a variety of company leaders, performing tasks and watching business play out as it might in a real-world setting. That way, even in a fictitious way, you can observe how certain principles apply to different situations and crises.
Essentially, our approach to management training is to show you rather than merely tell you.
What You Can Expect to Learn
If you want the full management training experience, your best bet is to check out our course, Operations & Management: How to Run a Business. This 19-hour option covers an immense amount of material to help prepare you for a leadership role in your organization. For example:
- The foundations of management as a profession
- Planning, forecasting, benchmarking, and setting worthy objectives
- Effective programming, scheduling, and organization for optimal results
- Quantitative methods for controlling the direction of an organization
However, some individuals might not require as much training as others, and in that case, we also offer broken down, modular versions of the course. That way, you can pick and choose which subjects to focus on. So, whether you need the full experience or a piecemeal solution, we have you covered.
How to Get Started
The first thing to do is create a free account with VTR Learning. And don’t worry – we won’t ask for a card number. So, you don’t have to wonder about an unexpected auto-payment coming out.
After your account is created, you can go ahead and check out our unique form of management training by taking one of our free courses. This will help give you a feel for the overall style of instruction we offer. That way, if it ends up not being a great fit for you, there’s no money wasted.
