FRTC provides onsite training at each clientele’s offices. Each employer has designated training rooms/conference rooms on the premises, that are used when their staff undergo training.
The biggest advantage of on-site training is the location. With the training done on the company’s premises, employees save valuable time, which otherwise would have been lost on commuting from the company’s premises to the trainer. On-site training also allows the company to accommodate for longer employed, more experienced senior managerial staff to share their experiences with the class. PRIVACY FRTC has signed confidentiality agreements in place with each Client, protecting all their company information. TAILORED PROGRAMME CONTENT FRTC has customised the training for each client’s operational requirements, thereby ensuring that regulatory requirements are met; an example would be FAIS legislation application and operational requirements of staff to ensure their work duties are within the requirements of legislation. BOOSTS EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITS Employees can grow new skills, develop existing skill sets, and gather new knowledge about products and services that will boost their on-the-job productivity. Given that most training programmes from universities and training institutes are quite time consuming and expensive on individual based training, with on-site training, employees do not have to leave the office premises. Since the training is conducted in group sessions, the cost for such training is significantly reduced as the Employer subsidises the training for their employees. EMPLOYEES HAVE ACCESS TO TRAINING THAT WORKS AROUND THEIR SCHEDULE With on-site training, the company schedules training according to a Training Calendar that suits the training needs and work schedule of both the employer and the employee.
While many employees are offered entrance level training when they first join a company, continuous training provides them the opportunity to further develop their skills and extend their life-long learning. Since company processes are constantly evolving, it is critical that staff are offered access to new training. On-site training gives professionals the opportunity to keep abreast of current updates in their areas of speciality to remain innovative and relevant within industry trends, that may also give them an added advantage at work, in terms of progression.

• The learning route of a Learnership is more effective in promoting the practical application of learning in the workplace than most other routes.
