Delivery of Course
We understand that no two students are the same so at Indigo Medical & Dental Training, we give students freedom of choice as to how they would like their training to be delivered i.e. as much or as little face to face interaction they would like from the Trainer.
We have a selection of 3 training delivery modes:
- Flexible delivery (delivered flexibly but unlimited phone and email support)
- Flexible delivery (delivered flexibly, unlimited phone/email support and quarterly face to face visits from the Trainer)
- Flexible delivery (delivered flexibly, unlimited phone/email support and monthly face to face visits from the Trainer)
Many Registered Training Organisations offer large class delivery with high trainer to student ratios resulting in the student receiving very little direct attention. We have found that students who succeed most are those who have a recourse to call on at all times, and who are kept motivated and directed by an experienced, positive facilitator role model.
At Indigo Medical & Dental Training, we believe in creating a learning and development partnership with our students/clients through the provision of customised and personalised training. What this means is that you will receive the highest quality training for you/your staff, whilst complementing your specific work environment and requirements.
Our facilitation of the training programme is customised to suit the individual's learning style by utilising a personalised approach including ongoing guidance and the interactive engagement and support of the Training Assessor. This means that the student will receive one-on-one attention through regular in person meetings, emails and phone calls to keep them on the right track and guide them through their study. A Training Plan is formulated outlining the commencement and completion date for each unit and the final completion date for the training qualification.
As a result of this programme delivery, you will participate in a learning environment like no other that will allow you to reach your personal and professional potential. The benefit of engaging Indigo Medical & Dental Training is that you can enrol at any time of the year – there are no set intake dates!
