What is Professional development training?
Professional Development training will help you to succeed in your chosen profession. But that definition splits into two types: technical skills training, and universal professional skills training.
Technical skills training is industry specific. If you are a dentist, it would be training in dentistry; if you are in retail sales, then it would be sales training.
On the other hand, universal professional skills are not industry specific. Universal professional skills are universal; meaning everyone needs them, because we all work with fellow human beings.
If your profession requires that you interact with human beings, then you would benefit from developing your knowledge of the six universal professional skills; setting goals, communication, prioritisation, conflict resolution, emotional self-management and the ability to inspire others.
This two-day Professional Development training course is by far the most advanced, detailed, practical and applicable course on the market.
