Debunking the most common fallacies about corporate training.
Are you afraid to pursue training because someone told you something about it at one time or another, that may or may not be true, but regardless it has made you hesitant? We encounter this scenario quite often with our customers, and in most cases people are just misinformed and need a little guidance.
That’s what we’re here for! We educate the customer on the best training options, and put to rest once and for all the misconceptions they may have about training. Here are a few that we find to be common-perhaps you’ve heard some of these before?
Myth #1: Employers won’t accept it unless it’s from a college.
Myth BUSTED!
Here’s why: Many courses are accepted for either continuing education credit, or as certification by employers. If you’re ever wondering about this- Just ask your employer or HR department. We can also give you information on which company provides the courses you see on TrainUp.com, as well as tell you whether or not a class is accepted for industry credits. For example; many of our HR courses are backed by HRCI, our Cisco courses are backed by, you guessed it, Cisco!, our certified Microsoft classes are, yep, certified by Microsoft, and many of our QuickBooks courses are endorsed by Intuit, the creator of QuickBooks.
Myth #2: It’s very expensive
Myth BUSTED!
Here’s why: TrainUp.com is a training marketplace. That means you can browse our website to compare several course covering a specific subject, provided by over 100 various training companies from across the USA and Canada.
