 James began his training career at Admiral Training
where he spent three years teaching MS Office and bespoke applications.
During this time he managed relationships with major clients
such as the Department of Health and divided his time between
classroom delivery and developing training materials.
His involvement in training and development
weekends for a well-known charity means his personal
course portfolio includes Survival
Techniques and Rhino tracking
(for beginners) - Not the most sought-after courses
in the UK, perhaps, but you never know when those skills may
come in handy.
After leaving Admiral training James qualified as a certified Cisco
trainer. He ran Cisco courses for Equant & France
Telecom engineers across Europe and North America.
He also designed a series of training courses
for their helpdesk staff covering areas such as bespoke
software, telephone skills and how
to handle angry customers (now there’s a use for
those Rhino skills!)
James’ experience at Equant expanded his IT knowledge
from generic desktop applications into networking
and telecommunications. The Cisco qualifications courses
are amongst the most challenging he has delivered. Understanding
how difficult it can sometimes be to absorb complex information
quickly means that James strives to find different methods to teach
complex subjects in a simple way.
Since setting up Ashbury Training with
co-director Justin Davies,
James has worked with a number of major companies, managing their training
assessment, development and delivery. |
