Debbie & her Training Team

Deb

As a Voyager customer, you’re in good hands as you’ll have access to a reliable, well-established team with over forty years of Voyager training behind them. Having provided training to thousands of customers from a wide variety of industry sectors over the years, our excellent, in-depth product and industry expertise allows us to create an enjoyable, flexible and bespoke experience for you.

Furthermore, we greatly pride ourselves on our level of support before, during and after your learning experience and continually update our training support materials to reflect this. We recognise that everyone has their own preferred learning styles so, to support this, we produce a wealth of exclusive materials including built-in system help, detailed, user-friendly guides, a library of accessible videos, intuitive webinars, follow-up appointments and one to one and group sessions, as well as being available by phone 01256 845000 or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

As an example, our free, fortnightly 30-minute online webinars, which provide up-to-date training tips and advice on key product functionality, are extremely popular with over 6000 new and returning users attending. Whilst our trainers are members of the Institute of Trainers (IIT), they are also permanent employees and therefore we do not contract out any of our customer training. That means that not only are our trainers involved in delivering first class product training with up-to-date product knowledge, they are also involved in the development testing and implementation of our products.

Training Delivery

It’s very important to us that each new customer gets off to a flying start and that means every client has the opportunity to select a training programme that will suit their business needs.  From the very start, we assess your requirements and listen to your various processes. These initial discussions allow us to assess, design and provide advice as to how your training will be best conducted and consequently agree upon the learning outcomes and objectives.  With this in mind, we have developed a wide range of structured courses and training options, both for initial product training and for once you are more established with using our products.

If you are looking for your staff to train without the usual workplace distractions you could train in our dedicated training suite, here at our office. We also offer convenient face to face training at your premises.  Your staff connect into our training database via Citrix and our trainer will train in the office using a suitable screen visible to all.

By far the most popular option, because it allows our customers to split the training up over a couple of days minimising staff downtime and the impact that training will have on your day-to-day business, is our exceptional online training using GoToTraining, the latest technology in online classrooms.

Whether you choose the further options of an open (shared with other customers) or closed (exclusive to you) interactive sessions, trainers will not only guide you through our products, but also share the environment by handing control to you, the learner, and allow you to practice what you have been shown.  The trainer will also refer to using a variety of methods such as providing you with a drawing tool and showing videos where required, but they will also continue to assess your discussions and processes during the training to help suggest further ideas and possibilities based on their experience.  Before and after training there is also the option for learners to store materials such as workbooks and guides to download and use later.

I have now been with Voyager since 2010 and have been training software for many more years. Previous to training software I worked in recruitment for over 13 years, firstly as a consultant and later as a Manager and in-house Trainer. Voyager takes its training very seriously and to add to my previous qualifications of NVQ assessor, REC qualifications, and Professional Training Certificate, Voyager has assisted me in becoming a SAIIT member with the Institute of IT Training.
