In-house usability training
If there are four or more people from your company that need training, an in-house seminar is usually more cost effective than a public seminar.
In-house training gives us the opportunity to customise the material to suit your business. This means our instructor can concentrate on the specific issues facing your design team. This practical focus improves delegate learning and performance on the job.

Benefits of in-house usability training
- Bring business-critical usability skills into your company.
- Practice new techniques to solve specific design problems that you are facing.
- Hear about real-world solutions discovered during our own consulting experience.
- Receive personal attention from trainers with practical experience in solving design problems like yours.
How do you want to measure the success of your in-house usability training?
We will ask this question at the beginning of the training activity. We can assess it by:
- Asking delegates to rate the training course — paying particular attention to how they answer the question, "This training will help me do my job better (Yes/No)".
- Carrying out a site visit to see if people are doing what they were taught.
- Measuring the impact on the business, for example in product improvement, reduced development costs or increased profits.
“The only thing worse than training employees and having them quit, is not training employees and having them stay.”
— William H. Vanderbilt, Railroad magnate.
Train the trainer
If you want to deliver usability training yourself, we can teach you how to do it. We'll show you how to prepare for, design and deliver effective usability training courses. You'll gain the confidence and knowledge you need to face classrooms consisting of varying sizes, learning styles and experience.
